the thing i find the most annoying is that most people who talk about islam , from the perspective that they are muslims and believers in its principles and ethics , is they say its a religion of peace . now from the perspective of results ( in the last century or so ) if we were to put forward religions where its believers are examples of generally peaceful behaviour I would suggest that very few wars in the last century , were started because someone was a catholic , jew , Buddhist or even atheist . however when you include muslim in the equation , i can only think of 1 current flashpoint in the world where at least one side is not predominantly muslim . that one of course is ukraine . from memory the others are nigeria sudan , iraq , afghanistan , isreal , libya , syria . but from the point of view of going its a religion of peace , well maybe , if you think from the hardline point of view of "when we have killed all the infidels , and only the true believers remain , then we will have peace" . otherwise naaaah
