Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

I know what the Quran says because in one of the verse in their it says you should kill infidels or non belivers if they don't believe in allah and I know a lot about Islam that must muslims don't even look in their Quran.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Really? It says that? Then show me where it does? Because I'm pretty sure it doesn't, in fact it says "For you is your religion, and for me is my religion." http://quran.com/109 . Which clearly shows that Islam respects all other religions, it does not call for killing on any degree.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

I will show you it when I find it in the future. If Islam respects all other religions then why in other arab countries are muslims killing Christians and persecuting them? If they were peaceful they wouldn't kill any Christians at all but they do so they aren't peaceful.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Where did you get your absolute incorrect information? Where in the Arab world has that happened? Enlighten me, will you? I live here you know.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

I got this information off of a TV show that has news about Islam. Like the muslims want the muslim flag to be flying above the White House and you want guys want it to be the number 1 religion.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

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.I don't combat evil with more evil, so I could never get behind this. Also the Middle East isn't quite as thoroughly evil as you make it out to be. America, for example, has a high number of obese people (one of the highest in the world) but that doesn't mean everyone here is a fatass. Similarly, there might be a disproportionate percentage of fanatics in the Muslim world, but that doesn't mean all Muslims are terrorists.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

We can clearly see in what condition are societies based on Islam, there is no doubt that women are not equal to men. Also things like capital punishment for adultery or leaving Islam are commonly applied. Public hate speeches against democracy, freedom of speech, Jews done by Imams around whole world on daily bases.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Islam upholds women to the highest and most respected position. Where do you get your information from, Islam haters? or the social media that enforces such stupid ideas on ignorant people? When Islam was first known to mankind, women had no importance, they did not exist in the eyes of society, they had no rights. Islam gave them rights at a time were being a woman equaled nothing. Do better research, here's a link with proper information. http://www.alahazrat.net/islam/equality-of-man-and-woman.php May Allah guide you out of your ignorance about Islam :) Much peace, Dana S.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

I mean, I have nothing against Islam, I have many Muslims friends (Sunni and Shitte), I've been to mosques, prayed with Muslims, to their god (I have no preference, not a follower of any major religion, all the same god to me) and have eaten with their families.... It's just a really violent (and sometime graphically violent) religion and it doesn't phase them, it's just in their culture; violence.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

Just about as peaceful as 1500's christianity.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

HA! I get it. You funny chap you! This amusement calls for a Tea party of hilarious talks, yes. You funny chap you!
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

WTF ?
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

They are even violent amongst themselves, their own branches and sects cannot even refrain from killing and warring with one another. Throughout Islam's short history and from the time that the religion emerged, they have caused more chaos and destruction than any other major religion.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

So are most Religions just look at the troubles in Northern Ireland just because Protestants and Catholics could'nt get on and you think that Islam had caused more destruction than say Christianity, you better re-check your history books, what about the Crusades, Witch Trials and burnings and Northern Ireland to name three off the top of my head
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

Yes, even more so than those examples, as well. My history is fine, you're the one who forgets that the Muslims were also part of the crusades. How many people died in the witch trials? Compare the numbers, I'll wait.... There is no comparison.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

All religions have blood on their hands but it seems fashionable to single out Islam to be the boogeyman at the moment, I know the Muslims were involved in the Crusades but the Crusades were not their idea the Christians invaded Muslim lands to convert them, butchering people who stood in their way. I dont know who would come out with the higher death count between Christianity and Islam in the atrocity stakes but it would probably be close
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

Your argument is invalid and unsound. Lets pretend that you were accurate, though; it is not currently happening, so what you are saying is irrelevant..... Mr. Red Herring.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

"IS Islam violent?" Like, present tense.........................
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

The Inquisition--ooops. Forgot about that one.Forget it Ashman--you are dealing with deeply ignorant people who get their info from wingnut websites and Faux News.Violence within Muslim cultures has to do with culture, not Islam. What if Muslims concluded that Christians shoot up elementary schools as part of their religion.And whoever posted this question was just trying to provoke the same kind of stupid bullshit rants you see on right-wing crazies' websites.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Only just saw this cheers for the support, I know most of these idiots dont want to find anything out for themselves other than what they've been spoonfed by dodgy media but it is quite good fun using stuff they have used to support their arguments in other debates against them and pointing out the errors in what their "research"
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

The Qur'an directly calls for the killing of infidels, chopping off fingers and heads. Have you ever read the Hadith? (Kinda humorous, actually) it is an Islamic Holy book and the basis of a lot of Islamic law. “Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him.” (Hadith Al Buhkari vol. 9:57), how is this not violent!? Lol, seriously.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

1. What EXACTLY does the verse about killing infidels say?2. Who EXACTLY are the "infidels" in the Qur'an?
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

1. What EXACTLY does the verse about killing infidels say?[9.123] O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil).[9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.2. Who EXACTLY are the "infidels" in the Qur'an?[9.5] So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.2.191] And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

That first quote does not mention killing, it talks about fighting the unbeliever which could cover everything from killing to debating.The second quote does mention killing yes but as has been pointed out the Bible talks frequently about killing people but also talks about drive them out from whence they drove you out and do not fight them in the sacred mosque until they fight you. Taking this literally I read this as self defense and reclaiming your land something which i'm sure a lot of religions support look at Israel. It would also be interesting to read the quotes in context, taking a couple of quotes out of context will make them look bad but if these quotes when read in context meant fight people who invade your lands why would that make Islam a religion of violence. If an American Christian wants a gun to defend himself that is his right does that make him a violent person?
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

So?The Bible says if you find out your bride wasn't a virgin you should stone her to death and leave her corpse on her fathers doorstep. How many Christians do you know who have followed that nugget of ancient wisdom?Most religious dogmas can be used to justify horrible atrocities, if the reader is so inclined; they can also be used to justify peace and charity and the like, if the reader is so inclined. So really it matters a whole lot more who is reading the book than what the book says.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

I await your rebuttal.................................................................
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

The Hadith is a collection of writings from a long line of Islamic scholars. Hadith are separate from the Koran, and have been added to over the centuries by many, many people.Tell me the Old Testament is peaceful.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

I mean, the religion itself was emerged from a extremely violent people, the ideologies reflect this. Maybe 90% of Muslims are not terrorist, but 90% of active terrorist are Muslims.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

All religions come from violent people due to their age, back when Christianity first came about there were Jewish terrorists fighting against Roman occupation but Christianity is now most of the time a peaceful religion but for hundreds if not thousands of years it wasn't. I find it hard to believe that 90% of terrorists worldwide are Muslim, also if 90% of Muslims are not terrorists does this not defeat your own argument
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

No it does not, this was more of a stupid joke, but nice try on the straw man, thought. Caught me off guard at first, lol.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

Nothings is peaceful these days, everything is screwed up and distorted. Yes Islam is a threat to the U.S., maybe other places in the world, but acts of violence through human beings sometimes have reasons behind them.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

"Yes, Islam is a threat to the U.S., maybe other places in the world." This shows how uneducated some people are. Islam is not a threat. A religion is not an object or person. It can't threaten anything. You can't even say that Muslims are a threat because they aren't. Al-Qaeda are a threat. They do not represent the rest of us Muslims though. The majority of Muslims are peaceful. Many live in the US and are respectful and peaceful there. Maybe you should do some research before claiming that a religion isn't peaceful or a threat.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

I didn't mean all of Islam were extremist, Religon CAN threaten someone, many theist attack atheist for not being believers. On opinion a larger majority of a factor rules over the other,maybe you should do some research on common sense my friend, a majority pentecostal-Chirstians attack homosexuality, many Muslims hate "culture" in general. How would you generalize The First Crusade? As I said All religons can be threats or be threathen.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

I wasn't saying all of Islam are extremist, and religon can threaten someone. Many Pentecostal-Christians threaten homosexuality, many Muslims depise Western culture, many theist attack atheist for not being a believer, maybe you should do some research on common sense my friend. How would you classify the Crusades of the Knights Templars? And you said a majority of muslims aren't Al-Qaeda, you said that as if the Al-Qaeda was small, Al-Qaeda is a rather large organization. A larger Majority of a factor will rule over the other half or sides. As I said before, no one is innocent.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

[9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away![2:216] Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. [8:39] Make war on them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

Islam? Peaceful? These are contradicting terms; never before has the world seen a larger cesspool of despair, hunger, corruption, war, and genocide under a particular Muslim rule. The Muslim religion allows for said corruption to not only survive, but to thrive. There is no doubt in my mind that there are peaceful Muslims out there, but, to be entirely honest, they're few and far between.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

You should do some better research we are not "few" nor "far between" we are as common as oxygen in air. You chose to let the media guide you blindlessly. You obviously know nothing about Islam.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

I don't think so. If a religion is truly peaceful, the more extreme a person follows it, the more peaceful they should become.With religions like Islam, the opposite seems to be true. Something like Jainism, I would say, is a religion of peace. The more fundamentalist or extremist a Jain becomes, the less likely they are inclined towards violence (accidentally stepping on an insect would be like committing a mortal sin to them).
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

You're absolutely right on this, of course. If anything, if their religion truly is peaceful, then the 'peaceful' muslims should be called the extremists, not the ones going around committing violent acts, etc.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

Here is a simple equation that justifies the NO answer side: Religion=Violence
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

Most individual Muslims are nice people but the extremely devote ones are the trouble makers. But that can be said for most religions. I believe that religion as a whole is anything but peaceful and should eventually be eliminated all together.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

Islam is peaceful ...behead those who do not agree :D
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

No, is anything but peaceful. They have no religious tolerence. That is why they are usually at war. Look at the Middle East, and most parts of africa, are they usually at peace? No, they are almost never at peace. Ill give you a challange go to any middle east country and say Muhammad was a liar and a phony. And lets see if you live to tell the story.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

It's peaceful as Satanism is... the only what you have to do is join and be quiet.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

The Quoran is no different from the bible, its just the fanatism of the followers that made it look bad
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

Yes I know not everybody is capable, but try to look what happens in the world and then think again whether islam is really peaceful. It's funny how muslims fail every single time to show how peaceful islam is when they need to.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Except they don't, you just don't bother to pay attention, then make outlandish, factually baseless claims like this predicted upon deeply rooted prejudice.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

Except they factually do, and you factually are ignorant of factual correlation of the Koran and factual islamic violence all over the world.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Then prove it. Prove that the Muslims have never been able to demonstrate peacefully or behave peacefully. And note that you do have to prove that they have never been able to, as the words you used were "every single time".The fact that I have multiple recent examples means I already know that "factually" you are wrong, but I'll wait to see your response before proving it to you.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

Well, then maybe it's time you start to list your examples."Every single time" does not say "ever". It just means every time in a given time span. And I did not mention one.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Every single time means there can't be one possible example of them doing so.The concept of marriage is a union of one man and one woman.Boom, quick google search is all it took.And you did not say "in a given time span", you just said "every single time". Trying to change what you said now is dishonest.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

Exactly!Since I didn't specify a time span you had to ask if it mattered to you. You can't fill in anything if you need specifics.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

Again, "every single time" specifies the entirety of time.You provided specifics, and I responded accordingly.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

Again, "every single time" specifies the entirety of time.Wrong again. "Every single time" asks for a condition, because otherwise it would be eternity which doesn't make sense to someone with a sane mind.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

No condition is implied. If you do not provide a context for said statement, it can apply on its own. People often make references to an eternity or an entirety, such as "That always happens", or "Everyone does that". As the sender of the message, it is your responsibility to make sure that you convey it properly, otherwise receivers of said message only have the words that you have used to go by.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

As the sender of the message, it is your responsibility to make sure that you convey it properly, otherwise receivers of said message only have the words that you have used to go by.Yeah, I should have thought about the different mental capabilities, since you seem not to be the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

I will ask you again: Why are you here? You clearly do not seem as though you wish to debate, seeing as how you either become defensive or insulting to those who disagree with you.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

I am here do have a debate with honest people, not to quibble with far left-wing trolls who are hardly able to keep coherence between sentences.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

First, I am quite clearly not a troll, if you actually understand what a troll is.Second, you do not know what my political ideology is, at all.Third, I have not been dishonest in any way.What you seem to be saying, and correct me if I am wrong, is that you will "debate" with people that share your opinions, and you will insult those that don't. If so (and your posts seem to indicate that) then this is not the website for you.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

First, I am quite clearly not a troll, if you actually understand what a troll is.Third, I have not been dishonest in any way.You deny just everything like a five-year-old. That's certainly very grown-up.Second, you do not know what my political ideology is, at all.You are perpetually revealing it. It's plain to see.What you seem to be saying, and correct me if I am wrong, is that you will "debate" with people that share your opinions, and you will insult those that don't.Wrong again. There is really no point in going further. You live on another planet.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

You deny just everything like a five-year-old. That's certainly very grown-up.So denial makes me a child? That accusation is rather ironic.http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=troll http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll Please feel free to indicate how I have demonstrated "trolling".You are perpetually revealing it. It's plain to see.Then tell me specifically what my ideology is and how I have demonstrated it. It will be fun to see what you say (and please, I am talking about actual ideology, not "left wing radical" shtick).Wrong again. There is really no point in going further. You live on another planet.Then please, tell me how I am wrong.Out of curiosity, I do have a legitimate question (I am specifying that since it seems you will otherwise assume it is a straw-man or a rhetorical question): I have noticed that multiple people from SodaHead seem to behave as you do. Not particularly inclined to debating, quick to dismiss others, and generally right-wing. Was SodaHead not a forum for debates, and if not, why come here now that the comments section was shut down?
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

So denial makes me a child? That accusation is rather ironic.http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=troll http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll Please feel free to indicate how I have demonstrated "trolling".The definitions you cited define exactly your behavior. It's exactly what you do. You are not interested in a debate, you just target people who are not in the Church of Progressivism and try to "sow[s] discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion." (from your Wikipedia citation).So back off already and troll someone else.
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: Yes

This entire thread was caused by me asking you about which form of Christianity you believed had real "Christian values". Your responded by attacking me over and over. I most certainly want to debate, and I would love for you to stop attacking me and instead just answer the question I have asked almost half a dozen times so we can get back to debating. You, on the other hand, have insisted upon insulting me in lieu of debating, which would ironically indicate that it is you, not I, that most closely resembles a troll. That said, I don't actually think you are a troll, I just don't think you have come here to debate those with differing opinions. I would be glad to be proven wrong if you want to simply answer the question I initially asked: Which form of Christianity do you believe holds the real "Christian values"?
Debate: Is Islam peaceful?
Side: No

I told you before there isn't more than one form of Christianity. Because there is only one Bible and 2 + 2 is always 4 (except for progressives in which case the answer is 5). So your question isn't valid in the first place.You asked a cynical rhetorical question equating to "and what do you pick from Christianity". You did that with the intent of upsetting me. So don't indulge in projection, it's still you who is the troll.
