Lie #8: Islam is a "Religion of Peace".
This is not true according to their conduct and the mandates of their own Koran (Qur'an)! [Check it out for yourself here: The Case Against Islam and much more at Islam Versus Christianity.]
Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Ad-Darda' said, "We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them."
- Those who practice war have no peace.
- Clearly Islam is the one religion that seeks the end of freedom for all other religions.
- These texts from the Holy Bible are in strong contrast to the Islamic position.
- God speaks against practicing hatred.
• Killing disbelievers is a small matter to us. Al-Tabari, Vol. 9, p. 69
• Abdallah Rawahah encouraged the men, saying, "By Allah, what you loathe is the very thing you came out to seek - martyrdom. We are not fighting the enemy with number, strength, or multitude, but we are fighting them with this religion with which Allah has honored us. So come on! Both prospects are fine: victory or martyrdom." Al-Tabari, Vol. 8, p. 153, See also Ishaq 533.
• Qur'an 2: 216 War is decreed to you, and it is hated by you. And perhaps you may hate something and it is good for you, and perhaps you love something and it is evil for you. And Allah knows, and you do not know.
• Qur'an 9: 5 So when the forbidden months are passed, so kill the polytheists (that includes Christians) wherever you find them, and take them [as captives], and besiege them, and lay wait for them with every kind of ambush, so if they repent (become Muslims) and perform the prayer and give the legal alms, so leave their way free. Surely Allah is forgiving, merciful.
• Qur'an 8:65 O you prophet, provoke the believers to engage in war. If there will be twenty patient ones of you, they will have victory over two hundred.
• Qur'an 9:73 O you prophet, perform jihad against the infidels and the hypocrites, and be harsh with them. And their abode will be hell, and evil is the destination. (No MMs.)
Islam teaches that all others must surrender to Islam: Christians, Jews, and everyone else.
• Qur'an 8:39 And engage in war with them until there will not be sedition and the Religion (meaning Islam) will be completely to Allah.
• Qur'an 2:65-66 - Christians and Jews must believe what Allah has revealed to Muhammad or Allah will disfigure their faces or turn them into apes, as he did the Sabbath-breakers.
• Qur'an 2:191-2 - Kill disbelievers wherever you find them. If they attack you, then kill them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.
• Qur'an 3:85 - "And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers."
• Qur'an 4:48, 4:116 - Those who ascribe a partner to Allah (like Christians do with Jesus and the Holy Spirit) will not be forgiven. They have "invented a tremendous sin."
• Qur'an 4:51 - (Jews and Christians believe in idols and false deities, yet they claim to be more rightly guided than Muslims. They are those whom Allah has cursed.)
• Qur'an 4:91 - If the unbelievers do not offer you peace, kill them wherever you find them. Against such you are given clear warrant.
• Qur'an 5:51 - "O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Nasara (Christians) for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people."
• Qur'an 5:53 - Jews and Christians works are in vain. They are losers.
• Qur'an 5:59 - People of the book (Jews and Christians) ... are evil-livers.
• Qur'an 5:63 - Evil is the handiwork of the rabbis and priests.
• Qur'an 5:72 - Christians who believe in Jesus Christ born of Mary ... will be burned in the Fire.

• Qur'an 5:80 - "You will see many of them befriending those who disbelieve; certainly evil is that which their souls have sent before for them, that Allah became displeased with them and in chastisement shall they abide." Those Muslims who befriend unbelievers will abide in hell.

• Qur'an 9:6 - Those who submit and convert to Islam will be treated well. (Those who don't submit will be killed. See previous verse.)

• Qur'an 9:30 - Christians and Jews are perverse. Allah himself fights against them.
• Qur'an 9:34 - Give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom to the rich and greedy Christian monks and Jewish rabbis.
• Qur'an 19:35-37 - "Woe unto the disbelievers from the meeting of an awful Day." Jesus was not the Son of God. Those who say he was (Christians) are going to hell.

• Qur'an 40:73-76 - Allah will taunt the Christians in hell, saying: Where are all my partners that you used to believe in?
• Ishaq:364 - "Muslims, take not Jews and Christians as friends. Whoever protects them becomes one of them, they become diseased, and will earn a similar fate."
