Islam is a religion of peace

First I will show my rebuttal then start my arguments.R1:Alot of assertions coming out here, which are(mostly) false, like:"raped a 9 year old girl. He has also made the law of cutting off the hands and feet for committing the crime of stealing. Now, I'm not saying that stealing is a good thing, but cutting of a body part for it seems unnecessary. And yet these people worship this man."These are obviously false, Prophet Muhammad never raped, he never sinned but did make mistakes, rape is not a mistake therefore he did not do it, actually rape is forbidden in the Qur'an:24:33 "And do not compel your slave girls to prostitution, if they desire chastity, to seek [thereby] the temporary interests of worldly life."Clearly it is not allowed.Submission:Islam means:"The Arabic word Islam simply means 'submission', and derives from a word meaning 'peace'. In a religious context it means complete submission to the will of God."[1]Which also means 'Peace acquired by submitting your will to God'Submission means: "The action of accepting or yielding to a superior force or to the will or authority of another person:"[2]We submit to God and accept him which means Muslim should stay obedient and try his best not to sin and ask forgiveness.We acquire peace from God after submitting to him.Con further elaborates: "This forming of slavery and bullying is what causes most muslims to commit violent acts."I think stastics disagree with you, with only a minorty of about 6% Muslim exteremists: 'Terrorist Attacks on U.S. Soil by Group, From 1980 to 2005, According to FBI Database' [3]Clearly the FBI disagrees with Con."Dhimmitude":The whole point of Con's argument is that Islam treats Non-Muslims badly in a Muslim state, let us replay to his false claims:"If you are a Christian or if you are Jewish, in the Islam culture you are classified as a "dhimmis" and you would have to pay a special tax called the jiyza,"Yes correct."to the Islamic government in the return of not being murdered or tortured my Muslims."Actually no, If non Muslims pay Jizya they get "In return, non-Muslim subjects were permitted to practice their faith, to enjoy a measure of communal autonomy, to be entitled to the Muslim state's protection from outside aggression, and to be exempted from military service and from the zakat tax levied upon Muslim citizens." [4]Even the Caliph Umar(RA) was stabbed by a 'dhimmi' and this is what he said:"'Umar's concern for the well-being of dhimmis on his deathbed (after he was stabbed by a dhimmi). 'Umar commanded his would-be successor to "abide by the rules and regulations concerning the dhimmis (protectees) of Allah and His Apostle, to fulfill their contracts completely and fight for them and not to tax (overburden) them beyond their capabilities" (Bukhari 2:23:475)Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever killed a Mu'ahid (a person who is granted the pledge of protection by the Muslims) shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise though its fragrance can be smelt at a distance of forty years (of traveling)"(Bukhari 9:83:49)Also further 'In early periods of Islam, jizya was applied to every free adult male non-Muslim. Slaves, women, children, the old, the sick, monks, hermits and the poor were all exempt from the tax'[4]Jizya tax ranges from 1-48 dirham depending on the person.([4])"The Muslim culture condones: -If a person is not Jewish, Chrsitian, or Muslin; rape, murder rob, and enslave them as you please. -If a person is Athiest, kill him/her. -If a person was a muslim but converted to another religon, kill him/her. These options are, be a slave, be a muslim, or be killed."Obviously falsehood, as I have shown that Islam was very protective of a persons life including the non-Muslims.(Apostates who commit treason art to be killed, but if an apostate leaves Islam in peace and does not spread corruption there is no penalty for him)Woman:" but that can be the cause of Stockholm syndrome."I did not think you were that foolish."(Women) have rights similar to those (of men) over them in kindness, and men are a degree above them." Sura 2:228 Implying men are better than women."Clearly the verse shows that Male and Female are not identical but equal.Does not imply what Con said, but mine, because that is what the verse is saying."Marry of the women, who seem good to you, two or three or four." Sura 4:3 Stating a man can have more than 1 wife."What is wrong with polygamy? and please quote the full verse: 4:3 "but if you fear that you will not do justice (between them), then (marry) only one or what your right hands possess; this is more proper, that you may not deviate from the right course." "To the male the equivalent of the portion of two females, and if there be women more than two, then theirs is two-thirds of the inheritance, and if there be one (only) then the half." Sura 4:11 "Unto the male is the equivalent of the share of two females." Sura 4:11 "Unto the male is the equivalent of the share of two females." Sura 4:176 Saying that women are less than men. Literally."Does not quote the full verse, again cherry picking:4:11 "Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females. But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of one's estate. And if there is only one, for her is half. And for one's parents, to each one of them is a sixth of his estate if he left children..."Clearly cherry picked same with 4:176(http://quran.com...)"As for those of your women who are guilty of lewdness, call to witness four of you against them. And if they testify (to the truth of the allegation) then confine them to the houses until death take them." Sura 4:15 A womans sexuality is wrong."How is a womans sexuality wrong? the next verse mentions also males.(http://quran.com...)"And if ye wish to exchange one wife for another and ye have given unto one of them a sum of money (however great), take nothing from it." Sura 40:20 Selling your wife is okay."Actually the verse is this "And Allah judges with the truth; and those whom they call upon besides Him cannot judge aught; surely Allah is the Hearing, the Seeing." (http://quran.com...)(Viewers consider voting reliable sources for me as Con stated a verse that does not exist in the Qur'an)Salaat:Actually Alah does not need our prayers, he only created us to worship him:"And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me." 51:56"They have to tell Allah how he is such an aweomse, mighty, strong, powerful person he is. "Actually we do not do that, we thank God and read the Qur'an and ask blessings from him, Allah does not need to be praised we(Muslims) need it.Violence in Islam:Actually he does not provide sources for claims like :"Islamic terrorist attacks have killed more than 150,000 people since the World Tade Center attack."I will go straight into my argument to show that innocent killings are forbidden and one should not do that, If a Muslim does that, It means he is not following the Qur'an.A1:The Qur'an is full of verses of peace which I will demonstrate later on, but I have showed the stastics and proved the minorty are only a minorty who interpret the Qur'an according to their wishful thinking, now into the Qur'an:2:256 “Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth has been made clear from error. Whoever rejects false worship and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that never breaks. And Allah hears and knows all things.” 16:82 "But if they turn away from you, (O Prophet remember that) your only duty is a clear delivery of the Message (entrusted to you)." 6:107 "Yet if God had so willed, they would not have ascribed Divinity to aught besides him; hence, We have not made you their keeper, nor are you (of your own choice) a guardian over them." 4:79-80 "(Say to everyone of them,) 'Whatever good betides you is from God and whatever evil betides you is from your own self and that We have (O Prophet) sent you to mankind only as a messenger and all sufficing is God as witness. Whoso obeys the Messenger, he indeed obeys God. And for those who turn away, We have not sent you as a keeper." 11:28 "(He said, "O my people have you considered: if I should be upon clear evidence from my Lord while He has given me mercy from Himself but it has been made unapparent to you, should we force it upon you while you are averse to it?" 17:53-54 "And tell my servants that they should speak in a most kindly manner (unto those who do not share their beliefs). Verily, Satan is always ready to stir up discord between men; for verily; Satan is mans foe .... Hence, We have not sent you (Unto men O Prophet) with power to determine their Faith." 21:107-109 "(O Prophet?) 'We have not sent you except to be a mercy to all mankind:" Declare, "Verily, what is revealed to me is this, your God is the only One God, so is it not up to you to bow down to Him?' But if they turn away then say, "I have delivered the Truth in a manner clear to one and all, and I know not whether the promised hour (of Judgment) is near or far." 64:12 "Obey God then and obey the Messenger, but if you turn away (no blame shall attach to our Messenger), for the duty of Our Messenger is just to deliver the message." 60:8 "Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loveth those who are just."Qur'an further permits Self-Defence ONLY:2:190 "Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors."Islam is the religion of peace which not only covers religion but politics, economics, war ethics, social envoirment, etc. [1]http://www.islamicfinder.org...[2]http://www.oxforddictionaries.com...[3]http://www.loonwatch.com...[4]http://en.wikipedia.org...
