“Islam is a religion of peace. All people have to remain alert so that no one can create indiscipline in society by misinterpreting religion.” Hamid did not explain how this “misinterpretation” of Islam became so widespread that there are now global movements based upon them. Nor did he explain what his government, or any other entity, was doing to combat this “misinterpretation.” Thus the only thing we can expect is that more Muslims will become Misunderstanders of their own peaceful religion, which apparently only political leaders such as Hamid and non-Muslims such as John Kerry and Pope Francis truly understand.
“Islam religion of peace: Hamid,” Financial Express, September 13, 2016:
President Md Abdul Hamid has said that Islam is a religion of peace. He urged all to remain alert so that no one can create indiscipline in society by misinterpreting religion.
“Islam is a religion of peace. All people have to remain alert so that no one can create indiscipline in society by misinterpreting religion,” the President said while hosting a reception marking the Holy Eid-ul-Azha, the second largest religious festival of Muslims, at Bangabhaban on Tuesday.
“No religion support militancy and terrorism…the main message of all religions is to ensure the welfare of people,” he added, according to a news agency.

Myrtle Linder says
The picture of this man do not seem to promise peace, but it looks so much like hatred for the rest of us!!!
JMB says
Remember the bloodied conflict between Muslims and non-Muslims in the Indian sub-continent that led to the creation of Pakistan as a Muslim homeland.
Remember the infighting and eventual bitter war between East & West Pakistan that led to the creation of Bangladesh.
Remember the mini arms race between India & Pakistan that has resulted in both these nations now having nuclear weapons.
Would you trust this man not to want his own nuke also and then to have his his finger on a nuclear trigger.

It matters very little whether or not the president’s words are evidence of wishful thinking or common mendacity. Either way, he has provided a segue for Trump and Pence to discuss the Islamic motives of the…

Memo From Mr Hamid
Ministry of Information
Official Change to EngSoc Party Slogan:
War = Peace
Ignorance = Strength
Freedom = Slavery
Change the first line to read:
Islam = Peace
All references to War = Peace shall be replaced with Islam = Peace and any such references shall be sent down the Memory Hole.
Any person found to be creating Indiscipline (Mischief in the Land) by Misinterpreting (Slandering) Islam will be visited by the Thought Police (Sharia Police) and will either have a foot and hand cut off on opposite sides or will simply be crucified.
Crucifixions will be at noon each day, so bring the family. Admission is free.
Any questions on this directive should also be sent directly to the Thought Police.

Eric Arthur Blair was prescient but had little knowledge of Islam, apparently.

In contrast.
Now they have a peaceful faced hijabi showing head and torso with musical notes to assure us of moderate disposition. Mazo might try to claim that others beside Muslimas wear head scarfs but Google knows exactly what it is doing.

Google has become nothing more than a propaganda outlet.
It is analogous to Winston Smith’s speakwrite and memory hole.
I find this story about Hamid to be particularly Orwellian.

Jay Boo, this is not an image of a “peaceful faced hijabi”. This is for Yma Sumac’s 94th birthday. Yma Sumac is *not* wearing a Hijab, but a Peruvian scarf. It is not tied, and you can see her hair. This is not an Islamic headscarf.
Here she is singing “Creatures of the Forest”:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry7WgPZ_wok
She is singing, wearing a low-cut dress, with her hair loose. She could not be *less* Islamic.
Here’s El Cóndor Pasa, where she appears in pictures with bare arms, wearing sun symbols, and–yes–wearing that Peruvian scarf over a dress with a plunging neck-line.

John Boston says
Islam means “submission”. Submission necessarily requires domination, and domination, force. Therefore political Islam requires force, which would necessarily imply military action.
Let’s see if my logic aligns with just a few point of history.
614: First blood shed by Islam, by young convert Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas, who used a camel’s jawbone to strike a Meccan during a dispute over religion. Young Waqqas is considered a great hero by Muslims to this day.
632-4: “Ridda Wars” or Apostasy Wars: Abu Bakr, the first caliph, leads conquest of nominal Muslims in Arabia who had rejected him and took prophets of their own. A great slaughter of the apostates ensued, and those remaining reverted to Islam.
732: Massive Muslim army attacks at Tours, France, but is soundly beaten by smaller forces commanded by Charles (“the Hammer”) Martel.
1683: Ottoman Muslim army lays siege to Vienna, Austria, but is defeated, preventing Muslims from entering Europe.
The current events in the news confirm Islam’s intent to dominate the world. There is one difference, though: our leaders are not like Charles Martel. Instead, they keep repeating childish ditties that “Islam is a religion of peace”, and slandering anyone brave enough to speak the truth. Only a dramatic surge in patriotism can save western civilization.
Jack Diamond says
“Aslim Taslim” submit and you will have peace. That’s the only peace you get from Islam.
That was the “offer” Muhammad made to infidels. The proper reply, courtesy Oriana Fallaci,
is “Lan astaslem”, I will never submit.

This is not about Arabs. Bangladeshi Muslims are not Arabs, and they are as vicious as other Muslims.
Dennis says
It seems that Muslims have a blind spot when it comes to seeing facts. My Muslim friend in India just can’t understand why Isis and other organizations do what they do. But he knows very little of the Koran. He cannot read Arabic as he is a Kashmiri.
Mirren10 says
”He cannot read Arabic as he is a Kashmiri.”
Does he speak/understand English ? Tell him to get an English translation. Or there is probably a translation in whatever language they speak in Kashmir.
gravenimage says
Mirren is right. Also, Dennis, if your friend lives in Kashmir he must be familiar with the bloody Jihad there:

There are hundreds more such stories. I doubt he can be ignorant of all of them.

Non-dharmic religions create poverty, disease and destroy lineages and heritages and create colonial and neo-colonial criminal corporations.

He should go and have a lunch with pope Francis who is another one.
Islam is not a religion at all! The Great Pope Benedict XVI said perfectly well during his speech at Regensburg, Germany, quoting the Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Paleologus.

99 % of the world follower of islam are local converts. (99% are fools and poor can’t read quran even. Most are guided by Local Mulla on Saudi payroll or Iran payroll .Not honest and corrupt and fools local to bow and works for arabs and making them die for nothing.( life is precious Love for native nation and its roots is important Its time converts should be encouraged to know their past.

The idea that most Muslims don’t know the Qur’an and are not practicing Islam is false–and we have the mounting body count to prove it.

To better understand what real meaning most key words in such a novella as the Holy, the Noble, the Glorious Koran really mean, words such as “holy”, “noble”, “glorious”, “worthy”, “wisdom”, “mercy”, “beneficence”, “exalted”, “trust”, “love” — and, above all, “peace” — it invariably helps to consult a dictionary and go straight to a list of that words antonyms.

Yes–Islam uses words differently from the way we do.

The Islamic State literally laughs on these comments. Islam does not mean peace. It means submission.
When I told my family that I was no longer Muslim. They said, ‘You are dead for us.’
But it is no surprise.
