Islam is a religion of peace

I recently saw an internet meme that gives the best answer to your claim that even less knowledgeable Muslims will tell that so-called "extremists" are not true Muslims. I will do my best to restate it here, but it won't be 100% what I saw... Extremists say moderates aren't real Muslims Moderates say extremists aren't real Muslims Sunnis say shi'ites aren't real Muslims Shi'ites say Sunnis aren't real Muslims Apparently nobody is a real Muslim, But say one negative thing against Islam And suddenly there are 1.2 Billion Muslims in the world. Actualky, this little saying is a perfect supportive evidence that shows exactly what I was going to say to answer the opponents notion that onebneeds to look at the Sunnah of Muhammad in order to interpret the true meaning of the Koran. For one thing, there are some "true" Muslims that believe that all hadith are valid, while other "true" Muslims believe some hadith were made up in order for people in the past (after Muhammad died, but around that same time) to support their own personal view of wuat Islam is. Which is why, according to these "true" Muslims you find conflicting reports, like the supposed command that children and non-combat women (those women who refrain from actively participating in the fighting) are not to be killed, and yet the hadith proclaim that Muhammad ordered the killing of every member of the last Jewosh tribe in Yathrib, including the children who he said were "of them (their parents)" eaning they deserved the same death punishment as their parents. Us "true" non-Muslims know that these conflicting hadith reports are because we know that Muhammad made things up as he went along, like declaring that believers are to only marry up to 4 women, but he was given special permission to "marry" homever he wanted - including sex slaves, err, I mean "war brides". The fact remains that no matter which brand of "real" Muslim you are in relation to the Hadith, no Muslim will say that the hadith are divine revelation! Which means, according to my opponent, the divine relies on the non divine in order to fully comprehend it. Put another way, the uncorruptible must have the corruptible, for full comprehension of it's knowledge! Again, this is not true for the Judeo-Christian Holy Scriptures. The truth of the matter is that Yahweh God revealed to Isaiah, in chapter 59 of the book of Isaiah, that His (God's) Holy Words shal not depart from the mouth of His people (the Jews) "from this day (the day this Holy Word was given to Isaiah) FOREVERMORE", in fact it clearly says "from the mouths of this generation, and it's children and it's children's children, FOREVERMORE". Meaning, there will never be a 600 year gap between what Jesus revealed to what Muhammad supposedly revealed, let along what Jesus revealed to what the prior prophets revealed, a gap where the Holy Word of God will be lost or corrupted, changed, modified, or anything! Therefore, my opponents notion that God has somehow "preserved" His revelations in the original form, but those are lost and what we have has been corrupted, violates what Yahweh God promised His people. Therefore, my opponent follows an al-ilah that either CAN NOT or WILL NOT keep the promises that Yahweh gives to His people. Of course, we also know from the Jewish Holy Scripture that Yahweh declares His promises are true, so if He says He will do something we must accept that He will do it. Also, Jesus testifies to the truth of the previous Holy Scriptures, and the truth of God keeping His promise to Isaiah, when He said "I have not come to destroy the Law, but fulfill it. Surely, I say unto you, not on jot or tittle shall pass away from the law, until all is fulfilled". Again, I reiterate my previous claim that Christianity is the only subsequent religion to the Jews that attests to the validity of the Jewish texts. Unlike Mormonism, Jehovas Witnesses, and Islam, which all claim the previous Holy Scriptures were either corrupted, deficient, or indlferior in some other way. The fact is that even the Koran tells Christians and Jews (of Muhammads timw) to follow "what is in their hands". If Jesus' Gospel (injel) and the Jewish Torah were in fact corrupted, why would al-ilah say to do this? It is because the Koran does not support the Muslim belief that the previous Holy Scriptures were corrupted. In fact, there is a hadith where Muhammad kisses the Toeah and declares that he "attests to the truthfulness of (it)". In fact, my opponents claim that the supposed corruption of the previous Holy Scripture is not al-ilahs fault, is not supported by the Koran either, for it says that "nobody can change Gods words". Therefore, we are once again forced to ask, was al-ilah UNABLE or UNWILLING to fulfill Yahwehs promise to Isaiah? I feel the need at this point to reiterate a statement I made before, concerning the fact that Yahweh God gives His followers clear and distinct directions, not only in the form of their ceremonies, but also in the exact design of His house of worship. These clear and distinct instructions were given in His divine revelation, not in sone supllimebtal adendum, or hadith type compilation. Yahweh God directly and divinely inspired, reveals His wishes and instructions about worship. Again, not so with al-ilah and the Koran. For a Muslim must look to the non divine, or corruptible, in order to fully understand the supposed uncorruptible. Speaking of house of worship, I neglected to mention that with the Lord God Yahweh, He revealed His house of worships name to be Tabernalce, and the meaning of this word is "dwelling place", which means that He actually dwells within the midst of His people! The Muslim performs their worship at "the cube" (Kabbah). Also, the Christian now believes that God indwells His believers. This is actually the ministry of the Holy Spirit (which shows that since dwelling in each and every believer is a function of omnipresence, that the Holy Spirit is NOT angel Gabriel, this is also supported by other Old Testament passages that reference the Holy Spirit).
