Islam Means Peace: Understanding the Muslim Principle of Nonviol

"Islam" Means Peace: Understanding the Muslim Principle of Nonviolence Today "Islam" Means Peace: Understanding the Muslim Principle of Nonviolence Today provides a rebuttal to general misperceptions about the religion by documenting its rich tradition of nonviolence. To that end, the book examines the sources of Islam—the Qur'an, the main religious text of Islam, and the Hadith, the deeds and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad. It contests the prevalent notion that Islam is built on violence in part by illuminating the role of the tolerant, mystical tradition of Sufism in Islam, while at the same time examining the misunderstood place of jihad in the religion. The book is not, however, a historical or theological treatise. Rather, it focuses on the tradition of nonviolence in modern Muslim societies. By spotlighting recent peaceful protest movements in Muslim communities, the book underscores the truly global and multicultural nature of the Islamic tradition of nonviolence. The findings here will be invaluable for Muslims and non-Muslims alike, revealing an alternative tradition both can embrace. Praeger 2011

Islam means submission, not peace. In order to reject violent jihad, you would have to reject Muhammed and rejecting Muhammed would also reject him as prophet. And then you are no longer a muslim.

Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny attacks narcissism Vatican paedophile priests cover-up

Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny denounced what he called 'the dysfunction, disconnection, elitism - and the narcissism - that dominate the culture of the Vatican to this day'.
The astonishing attack was the first time that Ireland's Parliament has publicly castigated the Vatican instead of local church leaders during the country's 17 years of paedophile-priest scandals.
The controversial revelations have eroded Catholic authority in a nation where the church still owns most schools and several hospitals, and state-run broadcasters still toll a twice-daily call to Catholic prayer.
A confidential 1997 Vatican letter instructed Irish bishops to handle child-abuse cases strictly under terms of canon law.
It warned bishops that their 1996 child-protection policy, particularly its emphasis on the need to start reporting all suspected crimes to police, violated canon law.

@emmemmess
Nice so the Catholic church is screwed up so please feel free to post links showing where the Catholic church is raping enslaving and killing muslims and other non-Catholic and that they think their religion gives them the right to do it.I'll be waiting for the posts

@bodthe dog the catholic church is not forcing people to not use contaception that is their choice that Catholic church does not kill people for leaving the church.Yes centuries ago the catholic church ravaged central america and lets not forget the spanish inquistion either but those horrors were centuries ago,Muslims today right now are raping enslaving and killing because there religion says it is o.k.
yes there were many horrors in the centuries past when mankind was more primitive however we are not in the Dark ages anymore and I would still like to hear some one try and defend Muslims raping enslaving and killing.

To all those guys with so much hate to moslims, all I ask is why? what have a moslim person done to you. I mean as moslims we do not agree with a terrorist act or support it. I have one advise before you attack I suggest you have a read of the basic fundamentals of Islam and what it stands for.
Lets not keep riding on the media waves of attacks because its like it is socially acceptable now to be racist against a moslim and hate them and wish death upon them. Not fair guys.
