They have to keep repeating this, because it is so contrary to fact and to the evidence of the daily headlines.
If Islam is a religion of peace, tolerance, harmony and brotherhood, it has been misunderstood by mainstream Islamic authorities throughout the history of the religion. In my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, I trace the 1,400-year war of Islamic jihadis against the rest of the world, detailing the jihad against Europe, including the 700-year struggle to conquer Constantinople; the jihad in Spain, where non-Muslims fought for another 700 years to get the jihadi invaders out of the country; and the jihad against India, where Muslim warriors and conquerors wrought unparalleled and unfathomable devastation in the name of their religion.
Told in great part in the words of contemporary chroniclers themselves, both Muslim and non-Muslim, The History of Jihad shows that jihad warfare has been a constant of Islam from its very beginnings, and present-day jihad terrorism proceeds along exactly the same ideological and theological foundations as did the great Islamic warrior states and jihad commanders of the past.
The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS is the first one-volume history of jihad in the English language, and the first book to tell the whole truth about Islam’s bloody history in an age when Islamic jihadis are more assertive in Western countries than they have been for centuries. Order it here now.
“Islam a religion of peace, tolerance, harmony and brotherhood: Speakers,” The Nation (Pakistan), September 8, 2018:
Islamabad-Speakers at a seminar here on Friday stressed that Islam is the religion of peace as it teaches unity, harmony, brotherhood and tolerance in the society. The ‘Paigham-e-Pakistan’ seminar was organized by the Islamic Research Institute (IRI) of the International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) at the Faisal Mosque campus. Deputy Sheikh and Senior Advisor to Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Institute Egypt Dr Muhammad Mohanna was the chief guest on the occasion. A large number of students and faculty members from the IIUI participated in the ceremony.
Addressing the participants, Dr Mohanna said Paigham-e-Pakistan initiative of the government of Pakistan was the best tool to deal with growing extremism and intolerance in the society and to encourage the youth towards positive and constructive activities. “It is a beacon of hope for all segments of society,” he said, adding that the document is the best depiction of Quran, Sunnah and social principles of the Islamic Shariah. “This initiative can guarantee a safe and peaceful future for our next generations by ridding the society of hatred and prejudices,” he added.
Other speakers stressed that Paigham-e-Pakistan initiative was in fact a description of the Holy Quran and Sunnah. “Promotion of this initiative is the national and religious obligation of the ulema and mashaikh belonging to all sects and religious groups,” they said, and added that being Muslims it was their national and religious responsibility to strive for setting up a peaceful and exemplary society which was free of bigotry and racism. “Every individual of the Muslim Ummah will have to play his part to achieve this goal,” they added….

Al walaa wal baraa is an essential doctrine of Islam similar to APARTHEID.
Muslims are required to HATE KAFIRS ‘for the sake of Allah’.
Feel the tolerance in the words ‘HATE KAFIRS”.

Islam is NOT a religion of Truth. From start to finish as I read the Qur’an, I was shocked and horrified but at least then I understood WHY all this is happening concerning them. It was very clear and very incriminating. Politicians must read it and then Protect us and our country from the bigotry, SuperSupremacy, totalitarian, anti Human Rights, anti Constitution with Bill of rights. I guarantee, If you read the Qur’an & then Spencer’s book, you will Clearly without any doubt understand the whole problem. Its really quite simple.
I wrote quote from the Qur’an showing the intolerable bigotry to Jews since 600Ad and got censored by Yahoo. I’m on the left and not used to this refusal to print & to intelligently listen to a rational, True example of what they are.

Islam wouldn’t even be peaceful if the World was 100% Muslim. Violence and the threat of violence is fundamental to Islam. Without it Islam would have died off with Muhammad.
James Lincoln says
Muslims are only happy when they are able to make non-Muslims unhappy.
When the number of non-Muslims in a country diminishes, it causes a shortage of non-Muslims to make unhappy.
The Muslims then again become unhappy.

Exactly. They believe by repeating this BS over and over, that it will be the truth. It’s exactly if someone said that the colour GREEN was definitely RED and kept repeating it over and over but we all know that GREEN is not RED and RED is not GREEN.
Their tactic is to lie, so as to fool people in converting to their religion. Taqqiya in full blast.

David Grisez says
Islam as a religion of peace, tolerance, harmony and brotherhood is just one big lie that keeps getting repeated. Just look at what is happening and being done in the name of Islam through out the entire world, and just look at the death, destruction, pain, misery and suffering happening in the name of Islam. The country of Pakistan is one of the worst in the world when it comes to persecution of Christians, Hindus and other non-muslims. Also Pakistan persecutes Muslims that are not Sunni-Wahhabi Muslims.
mortimer says
Exactly, David, in Pakistan, you take all the sincerity, brotherhood and tolerance and stuff it into the navel of a gnat and still have room for a caraway seed.
Jaladhi says
I didn’t know these guys can lie through their teeth!! (sarc. off)
Jaladhi says
Ask this idiot liar if Islam is religion of peace and tolerance how come Hindus and Christians and Sikhs are are kidnapped, raped, killed, looted everyday in Pakistan. How come the population of Hindus in Pakistan has dwindled from about 23% at the time of independence in 1947 to about 2.3% at present? I bet he will say they all converted to this wonderful peaceful religion during this time! Liar!!
sidney penny says
“Islamabad-Speakers at a seminar here on Friday stressed that Islam is the religion of peace as it teaches unity, harmony, brotherhood and tolerance in the society. ”
The speakers are in Pakistan and listeners are all Muslim so why the need for saying this when everyone listening to this knows that is true. Why the need to say the obvious?
James Lincoln says
Because Muslims utilize Taqiyya, how is it possible to believe anything that they say? Or, more importantly, how do you know when they are actually telling the truth?
mortimer says
James, Muslims don’t even know that. They don’t trust the word of another Muslim because they all know about taqiyya.
We must assume that every Muslim is not telling the truth because of taqiyya.

The body count of Islam tells you a different story. Islam is far from friendly as its a criminal gang created by Muhammad that still operates to this very day. Islam will never stop killing non believers and telling lies to further its evil cause.
learning islam says
where did you learn your Islam?? what the “preacher” is saying pure Islam as taught by Muhammad. Go read Quran, hadiths and sira to learn the vile core of Islam, and you will forget the lies of “Islam is peace”, “Islam is all love,” etc garbage in a moment – Learn the real Islam – leave Islam and join the humanity
Muslims are only allowed to “act” friendly towards non-Muslims for Dawa, to convince people to convert to Islam, or to protect themselves( Taqiya). To be friends with a non-Muslim for any other reason is apostasy.
“O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as friends they are but friends of each other. And if any amongst you takes them friends, then surely, he is one of them.” Qur’an 5:51
Muslims are not even permitted to sit and eat or chat with non-Muslims unless it is absolutely necessary… much less to ally themselves with non-Muslims for military purposes against other Muslims.
“No believer shall kill any believer for any non-believer. Nor shall he help any non-believer against a believer.” -Ibn Kathir

• Muhammad is god’s apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another.” Qur’an 48:29

“Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are merciful to one another, ruthless to unbelievers.” (Qur’an 48:29)
• “Allah commanded His Messenger to strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh against them, their refuge is Hell.” 9:73
“You will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who resist Allah and His Messenger, even though they be their fathers, sons, brothers or kindred.” 58:22
• “Fight (q-t-l kil, slaughter, massacre) those who believe not in Allah nor the LAst Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth (Islam) even if they are People of the Book, until they pay the jizya (ransom) with willing submission and feel themselves subdued (i.e. humbled and humiliated).” 9:29
• … That they were lower https://quran.com/98/6-7 than Muslims.
• The obligation to “kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 9:5) doesn’t end if you’re incapacitated “
Steve Brown says
But they’re not lying actually. If the society that they are talking about is 100% Islamic (either purely Sunni or Shia) then Islam DOES mean “unity, harmony, brotherhood and tolerance in the society”. You throw ANY non-believers, apostates, LGBTQ2 individuals, people from other factions or anybody else who doesn’t believe as they do then it’s oppress, slaughter and reject all day long.
Steve Brown says
Or women…sorry…
Old Fat Bald Socially Inept Ron says
Nothing says “Religion of Peace” more than men waving swords in the air.
So far this takes the cake for the most embarrassing thing President Trump has done, and I’m his biggest fan.
Trump’s Abrahamic trilogy tour took him to Judaism’s holiest site, Christianity’s holiest site, but he was FORBIDDEN to visit Islam’s holiest site.
Such a tolerant, inclusive expression of COEXISTENCE the true nature of Islam really is.
TKF says
Islam is as Islam does, and anyone with two eyes can see what it does. It is not a religion, it is a scourge of the human race.
Walter Sieruk says
First ,it needs to be made clear that the claim that the”word’ means “peace ‘ is a complete falsehood and total lie. For 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.
Second, Islam has much violence in it’s very core the this religion even gave birth to that violent,vicious cruel and murderous jihad entity, ISIS. For those cruel ,malicious and murderous jihadists who compose ISIS are so very brutal and deadly that they even want to murder people. Those malicious jihadists of that jihad entity, ISIS, are actually putting in to the practice ,with all their ruthless actions, the violence and killing that is part of the teaching of the “holy book” of Islam ,the Koran. Which contain the doctrine of extreme violent force for the advancement of Islam. As seen in the Koran, for example, 2:191,4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. So in spite of the strong denials by many, ISIS is an actual Islamic organization. Likewise the malicious, bloodthirsty violence jihadists who make up ISIS are real Muslims. Nevertheless, there are some who might , understandably, wonder and then ask “Just how can those jihadists of ISIS ,being so very religious , also at the time also be so very malice-filled ,unfeeling and deadly ? “ The answer to that question is found in the Bible. For the Bible teaches that there are some people who are extremely heartless, cold, callous and dangerous because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [ K.J.V.] In this case of the members of ISIS this “hot iron” is Islam.
Walter Sieruk says
Its such a fiction as well as as a lie claim the Islam is , a “peaceful religion.” The reality is that Islam contains much deadly violence in its very essence. For Islam’s “holy book” the Qur ‘an [the Koran] instructs on the use of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As found in ,for example 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. Furthermore, it may be illustrated that if Islam is represented as a tree then the fruits then the fruits of that tree are the many brutal, violent and deadly jihad terror entities. Such as ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, al Shabaab , Hamas, Hezbollah, P.I.J. etc. With this statement, the Wisdom of the teachings of Jesus may, very much, apply to this subject. For Jesus taught “Ye do know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” After saying this Jesus told them what He told them when He said “By their fruit ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:16, 17, 18,.20. [K.J.V.] In conclusion, Islam is a corrupt tree and also a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13,20.
