Islam is a religion of peace

Let me start this off by saying that I'm an atheist that has no ill feeling towards Islam or any other religion. I don't much believe that Islam is as "peaceful and tolerant" as you try to make it out to be. With that said, I will quote from the Quran, "Slay them wherever you come upon them, and expel them from where they expelled you; persecution is more grievous than slaying. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, slay them " such is the recompense of unbelievers, but if they give over, surely Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. Fight them, till there is no persecution and the religion is Allah"s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers." [1] "Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends, rather than the believers " for who so does that belongs not to Allah in anything " unless you have a fear of them. Allah warns you that You beware of Him, and unto Allah is the homecoming." [1] "Believers, take not Jews and Christians as friends; they are friends of each other. Whoso of you makes them his friends is one of them. Allah guides not the people of the evildoers." [1] "When thy Lord was revealing to the angels, "I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast into the unbelievers" hearts terror; so smite above the necks, and smite every finger of them!"" [1] "Fight them, till there is no persecution and the religion is Allah"s entirely; then if they give over, surely Allah sees the things they do." [1] "Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden " such men as practise not the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book " until they pay the tribute out of hand and have been humbled." [1] There are also plenty of quotes speaking of hateful things regarding Jews. [1] As you just stated in round one, Islam has a duel purpose, submission then peace. This sounds warlike, submit then you will have peace. Convert or die... You asked to not mention the wars being fought against Muslims right now, surely they would help me with my argument that Islam isn't a religion of peace. I will however, mention multiple incidents of the actions of Muslims from the past. The Charlie Hebdo shooting, Muslims murdered over 12 people over the comedic newspaper making fun of Islam. [2] Islamic law allows slavery but prohibits enslaving other Muslims. [3] This is by no means shows tolerance for others. In 1786, the United States sent Thomas Jefferson and John Adams to negotiate an end to the unprovoked attacks that the Muslims from the Barbary States. They asked, why war upon nations who had done them no injury? The reply they received is as follows. "It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy's ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once." [4] This response led America's first war against Islamic forces aimed at forcing the United States towards Islam. [1] http://worldmediamonitoring.com... [2] https://en.wikipedia.org...
