first of all I’m already reading it and my religion ain’t dangerous or nasty if you don’t wanna believe in it its your problem but don’t go around insulting it, how’d you like it if people insulted your religion?

And how can you say that its still kept in place by the sword? How could it be kept by the sword in our time? Did you see any muslim threathning other people and saying if you don’t believe in Islam I’ll kill you?

And may I ask you one question, did you read the whole Quran with its explanations included?

The part where it says ”Kill the infidel” well it’s in a CONTEXT of WAR when the Muslims were against the non-Muslims in combat and when they were being under attacked and oppressed. Plus the verse is not intended to imply a general meaning for just anyone to decide to go around combating non-Muslims. It’s specifically during war time or when you’re facing aggression, oppression or even terrorism (Islam forbids terrorism btw) and you’re not even supposed to kill innocent people whether they are Christians, Jews, or even from any other faith for that matter. Islam doesn’t allow it.

And also, Islam wasn’t made by the sword, kept by the sword or even spread by the sword. That is another misconception many people have. First of all, Islam has always given respect and freedom of religion to all faiths. Freedom of religion is even ordained by the Quran itself: “There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong.” (Quran 2:256)

Plus the Quran recommends us to invite people to Islam with wisdom, good instructions and to argue with them in the best manner possible. It doesn’t tell us to use violence or even the sword to force it upon people.

And you know, even during the time when Muslims ruled Spain (Andalusia) for about 800 years, Christians and Jews enjoyed freedom of practicing their respective religions, and this is a documented historical fact.

And also India, another country that was ruled by Muslims for about a thousand years, had the power to force each and every non-Muslim there to convert to Islam, but they did not, and so you can see that more than 80% of the Indian population still remains non-Muslim.

So Islam did not spread by the sword and it sure isn’t kept by it, clearly everyone has the right to choose their religion and despite that, Islam is the fastest growing religion both in America and Europe.

So please, if you have any other misconceptions about Islam learn and search about it carefully before making any statements because Islam is really one of the most misunderstand religion.
I hope that clears your thoughts about it being a violent religion because that is not the case.

(And sorry if my reply is so long it’s just that I have so much to say about it because I strongly believe that Islam doesn’t preach violence and I wish people would stop viewing it as such and start learning more about it to understand it better.)

I agree that evil comes from ignorance but not religion. The point of religion is to give us answers for our existence and to give us a guideline to follow in order to avoid EVIL. So you can’t put religion inside the definition of evil thats just…just being ingnorent.

Because Islam is truly a religion of peace which main message is just to worship Allah, the One and Only God who created both you and me.

So please learn about the religion first from the real sources and from good practicing Muslim instead of just blindly following what the media says because saying that is totally not nice on top of being false. At least back up you’re statements with proof if you can and if you can’t you’ll know you’re wrong and that goes for everyone who tries to bash this beautiful religion.
