Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

It's not really a peaceful majority... according to research done between university students in UK who claim to be Muslim.40% wants to live under Sharia law - which is extremely brutal theocratic system.36% wants death penalty for leaving Islam32% backs killing for Islam21% feels sympathy with 9/11 and 7/7 bombers-this number are likely to be higher because the questioning has been done in public places like university libraries and parks so there is a good chance that not all freaks told the truth.These people are educated people studying university, so we can imagine how is it in the mostly illiterate majority.This research has been done in 2009 by "Center for Social Cohesion". Later it was classified as a secret and not published.It gets out because of Wiki-leaks and later published by Daily Mail.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

I will look this up when I get home but your argument is already failing considering you are basing it on the Daily Mail a notorious racist rag which has always had problems telling the truth, I'd sooner believe what they print in the sport
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

You may check the original on wiki-leaks, the did not change a word. .
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

I have checked what Wiki-leaks had on line and the reason it is the same on there as it was in the Mail is because it was from an old Daily Mail article from 2008 and it's another piece of dodgy reporting.The questions were very vague like "how supportive if at all would you be of official Sharia law into British law for Muslims in Britain?" The answers very supportive 21%, fairly supportive 19%, the headline missed out the for Muslims bit though.The other bit which is a misrepresentation of the facts said one third of British Muslim Students says it is acceptable to kill for Islam a distortion of the facts when the question was, "is it ever justifiable to kill in the name of Religion?". The answers yes in order to preserve and promote that religion 4% and yes but only if that Religion is under attack 28%. 32% said that it was acceptable to kill in the name of A Religion not Islam, ANY Religion, of that 87.5% said only in self defense.They also ignored positive aspects like 89% of those polled said Women should be treated equally and only 25% had a problem with Homosexuality. As I said The Mail is'nt big on letting the truth get in the way of a good story especially when it can stir up a bit of Race/Religious hatred
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

I've expected crank like you with "racist paper". It has been doneby UK pooling report. Daily Mail did not change a single fucking stats...
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Have we met? The reason I called the Mail a racist paper that prints lies and the reason it has been said before is because it is true, it is not famous for printing balanced news
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

These people are educated people studying university, so we can imagine how is it in the mostly illiterate majority.This research has been done in 2009 by "Center for Social Cohesion". Later it was classified as a secret and not published.It gets out because of Wiki-leaks and later published by Daily Mail.No. It's time to do a bit of fact checking.Center for Social Cohesion is funded by Civitas). Civitas itself was founded by David George Green. David George Green writes for the Daily Mail. So the Daily Mail didn't just discover anything on wikileaks, their own writer was a part of the group that wrote the document. What is of note is that Green writes for notoriously right-wing media outlets.Let me familiarize you with the concept of Selection Bias.Part of the problem with this mock survey is that its results don't really match with that people on the ground actually report. Why is that? Because if you only survey a bunch of guys that look like Osama bin Laden, chances are you'll get results that confirm the stereotype. If they'd asked other Muslims that don't enjoy dressing like its 10 A.D; I would anticipate very different results.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Thank you someone who understands what the daily mail is all about when I researched it it I discovered it was a survey done for a Mail story in 2008, it amazes me that people still credit the Mail as being a reputable source
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

To borrow an example I just used, America is well known for being one of the most obese countries in the world. Yet the vast majority of our population isn't obese. This doesn't mean that our country doesn't suffer from an obesity epidemic; just because the majority isn't obese, we still have a disproportionately high percentage of obese people compared to other countries, and that's a problem. Similarly, I would never make the claim that most Muslims are violent fanatics, but there does seem to be an unusual amount of violent fanaticism in the Muslim world when compared to other cultures. And that's cause for concern. My point is the majority doesn't need to be involved in order for me to be worried and see something as a problem. Also you only really addressed Muslims, not Islam. In my experience watching the actions of a religious follower does little to tell me what his religion is like, so regardless of how Muslims act that can say very little about Islam. And I think when you examine Islam (read the book and the post-prophet dogmas and such) you will find it is not a religion that is intrinsically peaceful. It takes no effort whatsoever to justify religious violence using the Quaran. So when we're asked the question "Is Islam Peaceful?," we can't answer with how Muslims act, and I think based on the scripture we're examining we can conclude no, Islam is not peaceful. It may not force it's followers into violence, but neither does it force them to peace because that's not the philosophy of Islam.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

I'm not saying that all Muslims are psycho. It's about 40% which is not technically majority but it's still a huge number.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

I was a little sketched out by the Daily Mail statistics, too, especially when they're the only ones of their kind I was able to dig up.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Islam is love and kindness. Read the Koran and stop being afraid of what you do not understand. People need to realize that not everyone acts the way the extremists do. Pornography was found in Osama Bin Laden's house, Islam considers pornography a sin, so this MAY indicate that Osama was not a true Muslim.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

The standard for being a Christian or a Jew or a Muslim has never been 100% adherence to all of the tenants of that religion. In fact all three of these faiths admit that is impossible to do. When you sin it doesn't make you a "false" Christian or Muslim, it just makes you a Christian or a Muslim who, like all other Christians and Muslims, sins. So Osama could have been running several porno production companies and still have been a true Muslim.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

You are 100% correct. But I was saying that because Osama had some porn, he may not care as much about Islam as hurting the West. Remember, he is Al-Queda's former spiritual leader.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Or he cared about wanking his cock more than he cared about Islam or hurting the West. =p
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

Obviously according to research (and there more of them) done between Muslims you are wrong. .
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

What research? You are completely wrong and are not supporting your argument properly!
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

read my first post, you may found original on wikileaks  .
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Flawed research misrepresented by the Daily Mail and repeated by Wikileaks, try again this time using a trustworthy source
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

How "flawed" it was? ...or it just does not fit in your beliefs?
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

I think the poll was flawed because the people polled were asked leading questions and given a choice of vague answers the Mail then misrepresented the results originally in 2008 and again in I think it was 2009 might have been 2010, making it sound like they were reporting something new from Wikileaks, when all Wikileaks did was repeat the what the Daily Mail had printed about the original poll results.Read my original response where I went into more detail.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Sure..., except for the honor killings and stoning adulterers to death and caning women who have been raped and chopping a thieve's hand off..., yeah..., very peaceful. Why do you ask ;)
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Don't go around speaking of what you do not know, "honor killings and stoning adulterers to death and caning women who have been raped" are all misconceptions, in Islam, none of those are applied. Islam is a religion of peace and justice, you just chose to see nothing more than what the media enforces on you.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

OK..., so chopping off the hands of thieves..., that's still on the table, right? ;)
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Generally, I think so. People of any race, religion, or creed all have a dark side and a good side.I think that Islam has been mis represented by mainstream media, and while I don't think any religious group is without their faults, I don't think that people of the Islamic faith are any more violent then (for example) Christians. From my experience, Christians tend to be more radical in thought then other mainstream religions... This is only a personal observation, however.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

I am amazed at how little people know about Islam. So many are judging every Muslim by what a small majority do. The evidence is obvious. There are millions of Muslims, if the majority were violent the world would be a lot more corrupt. It isn't though. There are Muslims who have done terrible crimes. They don't to them because Islam is their religion. They do them because they're messed up and evil. It's like saying Christianity is not peaceful because many murderers are Christians. It's completely ridiculous. People who have not known Muslims can't see how peaceful we really are. You need to have personal experience with people before you judge.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Agreed completely. Added to that, the crime rates in western countries such as America are extremely higher. The majority there are Christians, does that mean that Christians are not peaceful? No, obviously. Same applies to Islam. Simple logic.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Yes Islam is a religion of peace....There is no doubt about it....
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

and suiciders are peace messengers :D :D  .
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

I'm assuming you're being sarcastic unless you're a violent creep. Many people stereotype Muslims as suicide bombers but that's where people are always wrong. The majority of Muslims are peaceful. Most Muslims think that what the suicide bombers are doing is wrong.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Lol, the ignorance and arrogance. These people actually belief Islam isn't peaceful! Meanwhile we got christian parents who have their kids kidnapped and indoctrinated by force because they think they might not believe god. Meanwhile these Christians wish hate upon a whole other group because of the actions of a VERY VERY few. Same Christians who support Israel who bomb and kill KIDS. Israel forced sterilization upon Ethiopian refugees, don't see that on mainstream propaganda, I mean media. Same Christians who want to force their beliefs on others through school. Same group who believe everything the TV tells them too!
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

I think all of you are mad;what is the speciality of islam ???They are humans..There are alot of terrorists in all religions..First of all the bloody medias shows the islamis in the terror role that is why all of you belive that islam is not peace
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

It's violent and oppressive, strictly against advance. Look at Somalia this is how countries under Islam looks like, whole middle east looked like huge Somalia before westerners start utilizing that area.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

I've replied to you before and I will reply again and again until you finally get some education about Islam and the world. You obviously don't know much at all. I don't like to be rude unless I have to but you seem really, really stupid. Islam isn't against advancing at all. In fact, Islam encourages advancing and learning (something you should consider doing.) Many of the Muslim countries have advanced a lot. UAE has the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa. The countries that have not yet advanced haven't because they are poor. In fact, they could really use your charity instead of your insults. Please do more research. This world needs educated people. Not people who assume that Somalia is poor because of Islam.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

I agree with you completely, the view people have about the middle east is extremely mistaken, I live in Saudi Arabia, and guess what? We don't ride on camels nor do we live in tents.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

All the tall buildings in UAE were build by German companies, Everything except of sand and camels that is in UAE had been imported. There are no schools or research for about 1000 years.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?

Do you know what is the meaning of the word ''islam'' ???1st all of you go and study what it is then come here to mess with me
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

What. I was very shocked when I saw the winning position of this.. no? What kind of stereotypes are you walking around with? "All muslims are terrorist!" ?There are so many different interpretations of the Koran! Some muslims are terrorist, yes. Some are. Some christians are too. Some humans are terrorist. Actually the meaning of "jihad" is not "holy war" it's "exerted effort". It is indeed a shame to accuse a religion of being harmful, or having some sort of hidden agenda, just because some (again,SOME) are ruining it for others..
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

I agree with you completely, you took the words right out of my mouth.!
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

i think they are peaceful every religion believes in what they have been taught as i know that Muslims do not bomb areas and all the things people have been going on about. what i mean is everyone believes in what they believe you can not change that
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Of course it is. However, the Quran can be interpritated differently.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

The majority of Muslims are peaceful. I wouldn't even consider the terrorists to be Muslims because they break huge rules of Islam. Both killing innocent people and suicide are strictly forbidden in Islam. Many Muslims agree with me that they are not proper Muslims. I live and come from a Muslim country. I have always been told that the people there are kind and respectful (the people who say this are American Christians.) Many famous protesters for peace are Muslim. An example is Malcolm X. There is evil everywhere but it's not because of the religion.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

I agree with you completely, those who kill innocent people are definitely not muslims.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

The world Islam itself means peace. We great each other with 'Peace to all'
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

In theory it is a somewhat peaceful religion, but in practice; it creates fanatics and zealots who are often times violent. If u look at the religion alone, it is mostly peaceful, but by comparison, it is violent. Killing infidels in exchange for virgins? C'mon, that's pretty crude and violent.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Islam is peaceful, the word Islam even orginatis from the word "salam" which means Peace. You should have a wider preview of Islam than that you see on the media. Just as there is Christians who are criminals, there are Muslims who are too, except if one does such in Islam, then they are not counted as Muslims. We are all humans, we all make mistakes.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Islam is a religion of peace, in and of itself. It prohibits any killing of innocents, and states clearly that only God may give and take lives. It is only permitted for people to kill if it is in self defense, as were the Prophet's ghazawat (for the kufar were killing and torturing Muslims), or if the subject has agreed to live under the Muslim shari'a. For example, Islam never, ever states that we must kill those of another religion. In fact, we have a chapter (sura) that says:"Say (to them), O you who reject faith, I worship not that which you worship, nor will you worship that which I worship, and I shall not worship that which you worship, nor will you worship that which I worship, to you your own religion, and to me my own religion." This sura is all about religious tolerance, especially where it says, "to you your own religion, and to me my own religion". This clearly states that everyone has the freedom to follow whatever religion they please.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

and states clearly that only God may give and take lives.This is not true.Quran:And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.If they fight you slay them? Is that God it is talking about doing the slaying?
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

It appears you may have only skimmed through what I said, instead of actually reading through it. I stated clearly that killing may be used in self defense, for the Muslims were being killed and tortured in their homeland. In all honesty, I must thank you, for you brought one of the ayat that state this very thing. First, it is taken out of context, but if one reads on they will find the true meaning. It states, "for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter", and this refers to the time when the kufar were killing, torturing, and oppressing the Muslims. God is saying that it is in their right to kill those oppressors. "But fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them" This is also another portrayal of my meaning. God states that fighting in the Mosque is forbidden, for it is a place of prayer. And again, he goes over how if they fight first, then you fight back. I don't see where you were disputing my point.

Most islamic people are peaceful. There are just a few who commit acts of terror under the name of their religion. Most islamic people detest what they do, and those terrorists acts make the majority of islamic people look bad when they aren't.

Islam is the second name of god. God never allowed voilence. But few separatist misuse the name of islam for political or personal benifit , they divert the direction of action of unmatured or soft minded person into corrupt planing.

Yeah, it's peaceful, as long as you agree with them. If not, they want to jihad your ass into oblivion. That was easy.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

Islam is just a tool. It can only be as violent as the person practicing it. I'm on this side because I don't think Islam is intrinsically a religion of non-violence. Violence can be easily justified in the Quaran, therefore if you're a violent Muslim you are by no stretch of the imagination accurately following Islam. Islam doesn't preach peace in all circumstances; it preaches violence sometimes. Compared to Jainism, for example, Islam is not itself peaceful.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

Honestly, Id say that it isnt. When they do bombings and attacks, they say.. "In the name of allah".. I dont think that it is peaceful, but then they do believe in their god, so I have nothing against that.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

Durka durka muhammad JIHAD!!! BOOM!. No. It says that it is the "religion of peace". Thats a load of bullshit. Its clearly the most violent religion in existence, trumped only by christianity (only based on its bloody past), especially from a modern day perspective. In sanscrit the word islam means "submit". Its a religion that controls the population by brutal force, submitance, and repression of natural rights. The doctrines it preaches are nothing but evil. The muslims are a sick and twisted race of bronze age criminals out of place in a modern world. The middle east is a vile cesspool of evil. They murder, rape, and torture all who dont follow their ways. They have a bloody past, present, and future. They should be cleansed from this earth.

it's all about the likeliness that some event happens Muslim surgeon or gypsy cardiologist both are possible but because of the general lifestyle of both groups and the little thing that they aren't really a hardworking/studying people...
