Why Islam is Not a Religion of Peace

• 30,000+ terror attacks (with 187,000+ people killed, and 265,000+ people injured) committed explicitly in the name of Islam since September 11, 2001 (the past 15 years).
• Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, had people killed for insulting him or for criticizing his religion. This included women. Muslims are told to emulate the example of Muhammad.
• Muhammad said in many places that he has been "ordered by Allah to fight men until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger." In the last nine years of his life, he ordered no less than 65 military campaigns to do exactly that.
• Muhammad directed Muslims to wage war on other religions and bring them under submission to Islam. Within the first few decades following his death, his Arabian companions invaded and conquered Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and Zoroastrian lands. A mere 25 years after Muhammad's death, Muslim armies had captured land and people within the borders of over 28 modern countries outside of Saudi Arabia.
• Muslims continued their Jihad against other religions for 1400 years, checked only by the ability of non-Muslims to defend themselves. To this day, not a week goes by that Islamic fundamentalists do not attempt to kill Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists explicitly in the name of Allah. None of these other religions are at war with each other.
• Islam is the only religion that has to retain its membership by formally threatening to kill anyone who leaves. This is according to the example set by Muhammad.
• The Quran never once speaks of Allah's love for non-Muslims, but it speaks of Allah's cruelty toward and hatred of non-Muslims more than 500 times.
•  For example: Koran or Quran sura 2:64,191-193,216,244; 3:56,151; 4:47,52,56,74,76,89,95,104; 5:33,59-60; 8:12,15,39,55,57,59-60,65,67; 9:5,14,20,29,30,73; 17:16; 22:19-21; 25:52; 40:71-72; 47:3-4; 56:92-94; 66:9. 

"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them." 
-- Allah (Quran 8:12)

"Fight everyone in the way of Allah and kill those who disbelieve in Allah." 
-- Muhammad (Ibn Ishaq 992)

"Love your neighbor and pray for those who persecute you."
-- Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:44)
