This question have been resounding in my mind for quite some time locally here i hear that Islam is a religion of peace but looking into details this doesnt reflect the statement,from history islam was propaganded through ''JIHAD'' which is a violent way of making other cultures and tribes accept the so called religion of peace through a warlike approach. few years back i lost 3 cousins of mine to the Kaduna riot the reason for the attack was because they are christians , with no hard feelings i think lights should be shed on this is [b]Islam really a religion of peace [/b] ?

Why do you need to worry people when you have provided answers to the questions you asked
I'm so sorry for your lost, but come to think of it, if some set of people practicing a religion is bad, does it mean the religion is bad itself? Are you telling me Christianity doesn't have its dark side, or white side?
The fact is, you should search for knowledge before making such conclusions like this('cos you have concluded already). The North issue you sited wasn't religious, it was political. I lost relatives that were Muslims there too, why did i not blame christianity for it, or are you telling me it's only Muslims that reside in North
Please, our fore-sight has to go beyond thinking like this, they won't do us any good, it will only result in continuous hatred, and this will always limit our horizon of thinking to what people on our side says. . .
Peace

Islam is the greatest peaceful warmongering and hatemongering satanic cult in this world that has produced the greatest militants the world have ever seen. That has even produced a Nigerian Suicide bomber.



The moment Islam begin to face facts the better. Denying facts and veracity will never help.

Any religion with followers like the above poster (i.e. the_truth) is not worth following. Or at least needs to be appraised thoroughly.
