The Very Big Lie About "Islam"

“Islam is a religion of peace”-----Is one of the all time, big, lies. Even Joseph Paul Goebbels, Hitler's Minister of Propaganda, or many of the deluded voices who supported Stalin's Soviet Union could appreciate the magnitude of this, very critical, lie.

What? You do not agree with me? Let me dissect this “two lies in one” on as rational a basis as I can. My only question is do you have the intellectual honesty to continue?

First, is Islam “peaceful”? To know the truth about this you must, as I did, read both the basic texts (The Koran, the Hadith, being the sayings of Mohammed, and the Sharia, the codes of Islamic law), or as much of them were available to me and as are available to you. You must also read some basic, honest, history of Islam, especially one which addresses both its foundation, later development, expansion and interactions with other cultures and religions. (I specially recommend: The Sword Of The Prophet: Islam---history, theology, impact on the world; by Serge Trifkovic; Regina Orthodox Press; Boston, MA, USA; 2002.) If you are fortunate, you will have access to people of Armenian decent or those who recently lived in the South of The Sudan with whom to discuss this subject as they are likely to have such personal insights, as no book can provide, as to the real nature of Islam in practice.
