Islam is hardly the religion of peace, yet this is exactly what its followers want the rest of the world to believe. But if it were the incredibly peaceful religion it proclaims to be, then Islamic terrorist group Hamas would not tell its Gazan constituents that the road to paradise is paved with Jewish skulls. Fatah, the reigning terrorist “political party” in power for the Palestinian Authority, would not display photos of armed children on its website, and neither group would encourage “martyrdom,” or rather, suicide bombing against innocent civilians. If it were a religion of peace, then what is the point of the Islamic Al Gharqad hadith, which states: “Judgment Day will come only when the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them, until the Jew hides behind the tree and the stone, and the tree and the stone say: ‘Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah , there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him’ – except for the Gharqad tree.” This hadith is part of the Hamas charter and is often preached to Palestinians on both Hamas and Fatah run television channels. But killing does not equal peace. Going berserk with violent protests over the Muhammad cartoons (which resulted in over 200 deaths, flag and embassy burnings and signs threatening to behead those who insult Islam), is not peaceful. And again, violent protests over some poorly made movie, resulting in over 75 deaths, were not exactly peaceful. Protests and parades which call for “death to America” and “death to Israel” are not what I would label “peaceful.” Popular Arab television network Al Jazeera celebrating terrorists’ birthdays and Palestinians commemorating suicide bombers by naming streets and schools after them is not promoting peace but instead, celebrating this violence. Raising children to be terrorists and teaching them that terrorists who murder innocent civilians, including women, pregnant or not; children; the elderly; the handicapped, etc., are martyrs who are rewarded in Paradise and using the religion of Islam to convince them, can hardly be called an act of peace. There are even terror training schools where children learn the art of terrorism. Some examples of this “peace” are the 4731 rock hurling incidents, 642 firebombs, and 15 shooting incidents aimed at Israelis in 2012 in Judea and Samaria. In addition, the 1435 rockets fired from Gaza that hit Israel in 2012 and the Tel Aviv bus incident which wounded 28 Israelis were all evidently “peaceful.” These incidents were all examples of Muslim terrorism directed at Jews. For the Hamas 20th Anniversary celebration, nearly the entire population of Gaza was in attendance. The popular slogan chanted there was, “Jews, we have already dug the graves for you.” This past December, in 2012, Hamas celebrated 25 years. They celebrated the 2001 Sbarro incident, in which 15 civilians were killed, including seven children and a pregnant woman, and 130 more were wounded. And they spread the lie that “the Jews are behind each and every catastrophe on the face of the earth,” and the usual, “death to the Jews and to America.” “Kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases G-d, history and religion.” - Haj Amin al-Husseini, Mufti of Jerusalem (Radio Berlin, March 1, 1944; quoted in Robert Wistrich, Muslim Anti-Semitism: A Clear and Present Danger [American Jewish Committee, 2002], p47) “Allah will kill the Jews in the hell of the world to come, just like they killed the believers in the hell of this world.” -Hamas Not exactly the epitome of peace. While these examples involve Israel, Jews are not the only target of Islam’s wrath. Christians are also in their path. In fact, all infidels, nonbelievers, are unsafe. Of course everyone is aware of 9/11, the UK’s 7/7, and the 2004 Madrid train bombings as well as the more recent Boston Marathon bombings and the Lee Rigby savage murder by Muslim terrorists. However, there are actually countless examples of Muslim terrorism around the world, many specifically against Christians in Egypt and Nigeria, for example, against other Muslims of different denominations, and first and foremost, against the West. The final question is if Islam truly is the religion of peace, how can it be that 30 out of 32 people on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist List are Islamic terrorists? These people aren’t terrorists who “just happen to be Muslim”- they are committing their acts of terror in the name of Allah and in the name of their religion. Calling Islam the religion of peace is nothing more than propaganda.
