Questioning Whether Islam Is Religion of Peace

Submitted by Folan, Jul 10, 2007 08:44

Strange how when Israel commits all those crimes and massacres (which has been the case for the past sixty years) nobody says Judaism is a faith of crimes. Nor does anyone say Christianty (the religion embraced by the overwhelming majority of Americans) is a faith that does not believe in peace as all those horrible crimes are being committed by the successive US administrations.

Strange also is the fact that those Salfi takfiris (from which al-Qaeda is a mere branch) have killed Muslims more than they killed anyone else (examples in Iraq's mosques, etc) another strange fact is that those salfis were first nourished at the hands of the British (the Wahabis, who came into being in Saudi Arabia, were supported by the British occupation and mandate in Iraq then. Al-Qaeda itself was supported and nourished by the CIA, Pakistani intelligence and Saudi intelligence. I guess this says it all.
