“Muslims should teach Islamic teachings in regional languages to clear the misconceptions about Islam among people of other faiths as it would help in narrowing the gap between Muslims and other communities.” What about the alleged “misconceptions about Islam” among people who are Muslims, and yet think that Islam has everything to do with violence against unbelievers? What are they doing about them?
“Muslim scholars delink Islam from terror at int’l seminar,” Press Trust of India, February 21, 2016:
A string of speakers at the international seminar on Prophet Muhammad here unanimously condemned terrorism today even as AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi accused government of “dividing” Muslims into different sects over terrorism.
“Islam is the religion of peace, fraternity, tolerance, mutual respect and patriotism,” observed a number of speakers at the inauguration of the three-day conference on ‘The Life and Ways of Prophet Muhammad’.
During his speech, Owaisi alleged that “the government is dividing Muslims into different sects and trying to prove that a certain group is favouring terrorism and a certain group is opposing.
“Government knows that Islam has no connection with terrorism whether it is ISIS or any terror organisation. Islam and Muslims have no relation with terrorism,” he said.
Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind general secretary Maulana Mehmood Madani said, “Islam aur Musalmano ka koi rishta kisi bhi terrorist organisations ke saath nahi ho sakta” (Islam and Muslims cannot have links with terrorist organisation.)
He alleged a conspiracy was hatched to malign Islam. “We are holding campaigns against this conspiracy,” Madani added.
Madani called upon Muslims “to co-exist cordially and in peace with other religions and do not refrain (yourselves) from expressing love for nation whenever possible”.
Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mohammed Mahmood Ali stressed on the need for educating youths to enable them to move forward.
He appealed to Islamic scholars and clergies to guide the youth to excel in different fields like engineering, medicine, science and technology, and other areas.
Ali also urged Muslim countries to spend their wealth on educational and welfare activities instead of using it for warfare, weaponry and destructive purposes.
‘All India Muslim Personal Law Board’ secretary Mohammed Khaled Saifullah Rahmani said, “Muslims should teach Islamic teachings in regional languages to clear the misconceptions about Islam among people of other faiths as it would help in narrowing the gap between Muslims and other communities”.
Eminent scholars from across the country emphasised on the inter-faith cordial relationship, terming it as the “essence of Islamic teachings”.

“You can’t say that Islam is a religion of peace, because Islam does not mean peace.
Islam means submission. “

Sandra Lee Smiths says
And in which fairytale land would that be the case? Islam has demonstrated for its entire nearly 1400 years long history that it is EVERYTHING BUT a religion. a practitioner of peace, tolerance, or patriotism, EVERYWHERE it turns up! If they want to change that perception, they’re going to have to change their practices and teachings entirely!
Jerry says
Islam could be a religion of peace if you remove the Hadith, the Qur’an and Mohammad from it.
Sandra Lee Smith says
Uh…. yeah, but then it wouldn’t really be Islam, after all, would it?
Michael Copeland says
So “inter-faith cordial relationship” is the “essence of Islamic teachings”, is it?.
That is not what Koran 3:85, part of Islamic law, says:
“If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him”.
The Manual of Islamic Law confirms this:
“It is unbelief (kufr) to hold that the remnant cults now bearing the names of formerly valid religions such as “Christianity” and “Judaism” are acceptable…”
(“Reliance of the Traveller”, w4).
“Reliance…” is available as a free download.
Michael Copeland says
“Islam has no connection with terrorism”? Really?
What a surprise.

These videos — by the brilliant counter-jihadist David Wood — have been recommended by me several times here on JW, but the long one (Three Stages of Jihad, 25 minutes) is especially relevant to this Muslim’s transparent lying about Islam’s essential intent.
The second one (The Jihad Triangle, 5 minutes) explains how “nice polite quiet young neighbors” transition from skateboarding to slaughter.
David’s third video (Taqiyya, 7 minutes) establishes that deception to advance the success of Islam is found in the Qur’an, and not restricted to hostility between Sunni and Shia.
If you have a few minutes of spare time, contact your national and state elected senators and congresspersons — even if they are despised idiots of a clueless Leftist slant — and pass “The Jihad Trangle” along to them. To boost the chances of what you write actually being read by the intended recipient, make your email’s subject line something like “To the chief of staff / Constituent sends important info”.
Yes, those cynics among us will justifiably respond to me, “Face it, buddy: You’re beating a dead horse.” But at least, if you get David’s video into a few privilege-guilt brains, it can never be removed. Ignored for a while, yes. However, when the next Major Attack happens, the facts about recruitment included in David’s video will be recalled.

Hello pdxnag — Thank you for doing this, and making an introduction to David’s work easier.
BTW, he currently has a post up [www.answeringmuslims.com] regarding the misperception that Muhammad was dark-skinned, and going into detail about how contemptibly he treated black persons.
That video is found by scrolling down somewhat on his blog homepage.

Of course Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance! Honestly, has no one read George Orwell? There was a brilliant man who utilised his intellect in order to promote “IngSoc” (English Communism) and moral truth…..to paraphrase him slightly:
“Islam is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.”
There, job done. Clearly Islam is a lovely fluffy religion. Nothing to do with Big Brother, rubber truncheons and Takiyya…….

“God is not excusively an Arab. If he speaks only Arabic and uses ony Arab names then he is a racist god.”
I’ve always wondered why no one asks this to Muslims. After all, they are the ones who claim the Quran can’t really be translated. So that means that God has a book that He expects everyone to obey, but He had it written in a language that only a small percentage of people in all of history could ever understand? And that goes for even Muslims, since many of them in the West don’t speak/read/understand Arabic!
This doesn’t even make sense on a logical level.

If “Islam is the religion of peace, fraternity, tolerance, mutual respect and patriotism” can he explain why the following
No other religions allowed in Saudi Arabia?
Other religions are persecuted throughout the Islamic world and where they are not directly persecuted they have less rights than muslims?
Gays, Lesbians and Transgenders are murdered by the state in most muslim majority countries?
I would love to hear an answer from the Islamic “scholar” and I am sure there are many other questions that I and many people would love to ask but I just can’t think of them at the moment.

Asaduddin Owaisi Lower House Member of Indian
He has not read the classic by Sita Ram Goel: Calcutta Quran Petition
http://voiceofdharma.org/books/tcqp/
http://indiafacts.org/revisiting-a-classic-the-calcutta-quran-petition-book-review/
On 29 March 1985, one Chandmal Chopra filed a writ petition in the Calcutta High Court seeking a ban on the Quran under Sections 153A and 295A of the Indian Penal Code
because it “incites violence, disturbs public tranquility, promotes, on the ground of religion, feelings of enmity, hatred and ill-will between different religious communities, and insults other religions or religious beliefs of other religious communities of India.”
The Calcutta High Court disallowed the petition, but the issues raised by it remain relevant, especially now when the need to understand the causes of terror in the name of Islam is greater than ever.
The purpose of the litigation was to show Muslims who use the law to ban books that the same can to them.
http://voiceofdharma.org/books/tcqp/chi1.htm
1. The petitioners are the citizens of India and are engaged in various types of social work.
2. The Government has a public duty to forfeit every copy of a book, which
incites violence, disturbs public tranquility, promotes, on ground of religion, feelings of enmity, hatred and ill-will between different religious communities and insults other religions or religious beliefs of other communities in India.
3. The Koran, also spelt as Quran, is the so-called religious Book of the Muslims the world over.
4 The Book has verses which preached cruelty, incited violence and disturbed public tranquility e.g.
5 The Book promotes religious enmity, hatred and ill-will between different religious communities in India.e.g.
6 The Book insults other religions or religious beliefs of other communities in India e.g.

Islam actually teaches the reverse of the following false claims made by Asaduddin Owaisi: 1)the religion of peace, 2)fraternity, 3)tolerance, 4)mutual respect, 5)patriotism.
1) religion of peace – But if fact, Islam teaches warfare of subjugation against Disbelievers until victory. Ibn Khaldun (d. 1406), jurist, renowned philosopher, historian, and sociologist, summarized these consensus opinions from five centuries of prior Muslim jurisprudence with regard to the uniquely Islamic institution of jihad:
“In the Muslim community, the holy war is a religious duty, because of the universalism of the [Muslim] mission and [the obligation to] convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force… The other religious groups did not have a universal mission, and the holy war was not a religious duty for them, save only for purposes of defense… Islam is under obligation to gain power over other nations.”
2)fraternity – But actually, Islam teaches ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ which is a doctrine of Islamic apartheid. Al Walaa wal Baraa is the best supported doctrine in Islam. Al Walaa wal Baraa is the doctrine of Islamic APARTHEID. This doctrine is SUPREMACIST and FASCIST. *Examples of al-Baraa from historic figures: -from Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624): “The honour of Islam lies in insulting kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to humiliate them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain terrified and trembling. It is intended to hold them under contempt and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.”
-from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show animosity and hatred towards disbelievers and never support them.”
3)tolerance – But actually, Islam teaches intolerance and persecution. Koran 5.51 “He amongst you who turns to them (for friendship) is of them.”
4)mutual respect – But actually, Islam teaches ‘humiliation’ of Disbelievers. ‘Respect’ flows one way only, towards Muslims due to Islam’s ‘honor culture’. A Disbeliever is never honored or given praise. Saudi Arabia’s Permanent Committee for Islamic Research and Issuing Fatwas —which issues religious decrees that become law—issued a fatwa, or decree, titled, “Duty to Hate Jews, Polytheists, and Other Infidels.” Written by Sheikh Abd al-Aziz ibn Baz (d. 1999), former grand mufti and highest religious authority in the government, it still appears on the website.JIZYA is an extortion tax imposed upon Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians (other religions must convert or die). The pupose of the JIZYA is to humiliate Disbelievers. The purpose of the Pact of Omar is to persecute Disbelievers so much that they will convert to avoid being second class in the Muslim dictatorship.
5)patriotism – But actually, Islam teaches that Nationalism is Haram (unlawful). Loyalty to the international Islamic Ummah which is divine and superseeds loyalty to a nation. An Islamic website says: We must give up the idea of nationalism because it is exactly what is dividing us. Quran says not to be divided, and several hadeeth talk against the disease of nationalism…Quran clearly orders us not to be divided and separated and yet we have refused to do so and decided to live in over 55 countries…Lets all work together to put an end to this nonsense called Nationalism, a completely alien, and forbidden ideology in Islam.” Mohammed said, “People should give up their pride in nations because that is a coal from the coals of Hell-fire. If they do not give this up Allah (swt) will consider them lower than the lowly worm which pushes itself through Khara (dung).” [Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi]
All well-informed Muslims will recognize the intentional reversals of Islamic teachings presented by AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi at the conference.
To summarize: Islam is actually 1) the religion of warfare against Disbelievers 2) the religion of apartheid from Disbelievers 3) the religion of persecution of Disbelievers 4) the religion of one-way ‘honor’ 5) the religion of Ummah-nationalism.
mortimer says
Addendum to above: 3)tolerance – But actually, Islam teaches intolerance and persecution. Koran 5.51 “He amongst you who turns to them (for friendship) is of them.” The purpose of the Pact of Omar is to persecute Disbelievers so much that they will convert to avoid being second class in the Muslim dictatorship. (See ‘Pact of Omar’). The purest example of Islamic intolerance is found in the Sharia law: a kafir must not ‘mention something impermissible’ about Islam or its prophet. The punishment for speech that does not bring honor to Islam or refutes it is death under Sharia law. This is the height of intolerance.

Islam – The Religion of Peace:
Ren says
Islam is the religion of peace and a BIG lie.
Tom S says
Agreed Islam has nothing to do with terrorism.
It merely holds the theological patent on Holy War.
Ralph Statum says
Quran (16:106) – Establishes that there are circumstances that can “compel” a Muslim to tell a lie.
Quran (3:28) – This verse tells Muslims not to take those outside the faith as friends, unless it is to “guard themselves” against danger, meaning that there are times when a Muslim should appear friendly to non-Muslims, even though they should not feel that way..
Quran (9:3) – “…Allah and His Messenger are free from liability to the idolaters…” The dissolution of oaths with the pagans who remained at Mecca following its capture. They did nothing wrong, but were evicted anyway.
Quran (40:28) – A man is introduced as a believer, but one who had to “hide his faith” among those who are not believers.
Quran (2:225) – “Allah will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths, but for the intention in your hearts” The context of this remark is marriage, which explains why Sharia allows spouses to lie to each other for the greater good.
Quran (3:54) – “And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and Allah schemed (against them): and Allah is the best of schemers.” The Arabic word used here for scheme (or plot) is makara, which literally means ‘deceit’. If Allah is supremely deceitful toward unbelievers, then there is little basis for denying that Muslims are allowed to do the same.

Last night NPR interviewed Omid Safi — American Professor of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at Duke University.
As the defender of Islam, Omid drifted into admitting a hint that Islamic teachings might have something to do with ‘extremist’ views the NPR host immediately jumped in to rescue him from himself and interrupted with speculation that there must be “political” motive as if to say we at NPR will not allow anyone to implicate Islam, not even a defender of Islam.

Even little kindergarten aged Aisha became contaminated by Muhammad’s violence and ended up killing Muhammad with help from Muhammad’s companions and a captive Jewish sex-slave bride of Muhammad whose parents were butchered by Muhammad.
Aisha was likely a BOY anyway.
Aisha had no children from horny MO even though she (he) was Muhammad’s favorite.
Muhammad wore women’s clothes too (Aisha ‘s).
MO’s fictional paradise contains boy servants — (probably resembling Aisha )

Walter Sieruk says
The Bible reads in Proverbs 15: 15 “A simple man believes every word he hears; a clever man understands the need of proof.” [NEB]. Likewise, It’s a good idea not to take at face value the claim that the word Islam means “peace.” For example, the ENCARTA WORLD ENGLISH DICTIONARY copyright 1999 defines Islam as “submission” based on the word “aslama” meaning “he surrendered.” Given the definition it’s an odd phenomenon that after about fourteen hundred years starting on September 12, 2001 the meaning changed from “submission” to “peace.” It’s very well known that if the police are questioning someone and he changes his story something is wrong. Nevertheless, when it comes to Islam no one gets suspicious of the change. The jihadists brag that they will win the war against the West by using the Western ignorance and naive gullible mindset on the subject of Islam against us. It seems that they do have some basis in that claim since so many Westerners are beguiled by the Muslim disinformation campaign.

This guy must have been reading Pope Francis on Islam:
1. “Authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence” [Evangelii Gaudium #253][November, 2013].
2. “Islam is a religion of peace, one which is compatible with respect for human rights and peaceful coexistence” [Religion News Service, December 23, 2014].
And he’s the Pope. #Embarrassed Catholic

I’m Indian so let me provide background:
1. The brother of the person in above photo said in a political rally:
They [Hindus] are 100 crore [1 billion], we [Muslims] are 20 crores [200 million]. Remove the police for 15 minutes and see what we do.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ukTXuzXb2o
He was greeted with cheers.
2. AIMIM is the only political party currently in India, with the photo of the person in this article as its head, which has the word ‘Muslim’ in its name. The last political party with the word Muslim in it was the Muslim League which causes he partition of India. Muslim League also conducted Direct Action Days in which people of other religions, mostly Hindus and Christians, were indiscriminately slaughtered in Muslim majority districts.
Here is hate speech from this “secular Muslim”:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eil2tzPGpV4
3. Islam divides the world into three parts:
1: Dar ul Islam: Where Muslims are majority or political power. Here no rights should be given to minorities
2: Dar ul Harab: Where Muslims are sizable minority and majority is divided. Here they keep asking for more that what is their due.
3: Where Muslims are minority and majority is united: Mohommad’s advice is : Suck it up and bear it sucker!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9BA8ymM-Gw
After the 2013-14 election, the BJP got a overwhelming majority, so the Muslims are being advised to temporarily move from 2 to 3, to mislead and disarm/disintegrate the majority.
4. India DOES NOT have Uniform Civil Code, as appeasement of Muslims by a few influential individuals in its early history.
This is why things like ‘All India Muslim Personal Law Board’ as mentioned above even exist in the first place.
In India Muslims are governed by Sharia first then the Constitution of India. Thus, a Muslim cannot be made to act “patriotic.” Prominent leaders in the BJP have said ‘This is 21st century and this needs reconsideration’. Naturally Muslim leaders throw “fraternity” on this issue out of the window.
Shortcomings of not having Uniform Civil Code is such that a Muslim judge had recently divorced his wife over a petty argument by saying ‘talakh’ (divorce) thrice and no one can do anything about it now because Sharia proclaims it is final.

After 1400 years moslems cannot even provide theses friendly acts to moslems of other tribes.

Islam claims it has 5 pillars. Are they supremacy, submission, intolerance, discrimination and death to all Jews, plus a few more foundation supports like death for apostacy, criticism of Islam or Muhammed and sharia law? But they are so shakey, they can’t accept any debate about them for fear it will all collapse like a house of cards.
George S. says
“He appealed to Islamic scholars and clergies to guide the youth to excel in different fields like engineering, medicine, science and technology, and other areas.”
It smacks of Obuma trying to get Muslims interested in the USA’s space program – opening up all sorts of doors to the riff-raff. And what results? None and nothing. Because Islam does not encourage scholarly pursuits and intellectual development, and free thinking… they still believe the earth is flat and that the sun sets because it sinks into a muddy pool!
As of 2015, twelve Nobel Prize winners have been Muslims. More than half of the twelve Muslim Nobel laureates were awarded the Peace prize in the 21st century (a rather dubious award that is still today coloured by politics and nepotism). Three of the Nobel prizes awarded for outstanding work in one of the academic fields were given to Muslim scholars who worked under Kaffirs OUTSIDE of Muslim countries. Muslims comprise about 23% of the world’s population.
On the other hand, Jews comprise just 0.2% of the world’s population, but have won a total of 41% of all the Nobel Prizes in economics, 28% of medicine, 26% of physics, 19% of chemistry, 13% of literature and 9% of all peace awards. Nobel Prizes have been awarded to over 850 individuals, of whom at least 20% were Jews.
Is this guy desparately trying to get Muslims educated?
