Well, great. Now what are they doing to convince the Muslims who do not believe that Islam is a religion of peace, and believe that Islam commands warfare against and subjugation of unbelievers, that they’re misunderstanding the true, peaceful teachings of their religion?
“Hundreds gather in Times Square to mark beginning of Ramadan,” by Leah Mishkin, CBS New York, April 2, 2022:
NEW YORK — Hundreds of people gathered in Times Square on Saturday to mark the beginning of Ramadan….
“For Muslims, it’s not just about fasting so that we understand how those who are food insecure feel. We actually are doing this so that we can become closer and more [conscious] of our creator, our lord, Allah,” said SQ, one of the organizers of the gathering….
SQ told CBS2’s Leah Mishkin he wanted this special prayer recited in the heart of the city for a reason.
“We’re here to explain our religion to all those that don’t know what Islam is all about,” he said. “Islam is a religion of peace.”
Unity and preaching non-violence, a message shared by all the people who spoke to CBS2.
“There’s a lot of misconceptions about Islam,” one man said. “There’s crazy people throughout all cultures, all religions, and those small groups of people do not represent the majority … We’re encouraged to pray, fast, do good deeds, give charity.”
“The Quran is a divine revelation. It’s the final revelation that was given to the prophet Muhammad, who was a messenger in a series of messengers, just like Jesus, just like Moses,” SQ said. “We are all united and connected together. People need to stop trying to disunite the Christians and the Muslims and the Jews and everyone. That needs to stop.”…

“People need to stop disunite the Christians , and the Moslems and the Jews and everyone.” When your “Prophet” calls for the killing or converting or enslaving all people that are not Moslem I cannot be united or call Islam a “religion of peace ” to people who actively call for my death ,or enslavement ,or for calling for the women in my life to be forced into sexual slavery .By pointing out the truth that Islam is a master religion that must subjugate all other religions ,all other laws of the land under of sharia according to all forms of Islam..

She could have asked about all the many times that people have been slaughtered for blaspheming …. for example the three girls this week who slaughtered their own school teacher for blasphemy when in fact, one of the girls only dreamed the teacher did so… She could have asked why this happens worldwide, wherever muslim exist and how this attack against any and all reasonable discussion about ‘religion’ yields homicides and tortures in their ‘religion’.
Devasur says
Non Violence? where the doctrine of non-violence originates from India (Hinduism and Buddhism). Where does Islam have anything called non-violence?
Unity? LOL, then why do Muslims divide people based on belief.
Deception in full force.

Whenever I hear about this crap that islam is a religious ideology of peace, I am certain that what this means is that, once all of us non-Muslims have surrendered and joined islam, then, and only then, there will be peace. Until then, islam will continue to be the most murderously violent religious ideology that pollutes this world. islam is fundamentally violent and intolerant and a terrible ideology, which has caused endless suffering for the human race. Calling islam peaceful is unmitigated bullshit and Muslims are the world champions at lying.

Don’t let them fool you, the many apologists for Islam is will endeavor to set up a smokescreen to hide the reality of the truth about the violence and deadly essence of Islam by making the bogus claim that the al Qaeda operatives mass murderer on 9/11 were not real Muslims and that they were breaking the laws of the Qu ‘ran by their violence and deadly actions.” The apologists for Islam will further make the totally false claim that “Those terrorists on 9/11 were only criminals who hijacked the peaceful religion of Islam for Politics.”
Those outrageously false claims are weak attempt of damage control for the image of Islam to the West.
For the “holy book” of Islam the Qu ‘ran. For the Qu ‘ran instruct in Sura 9:111. Muslims who are engaging the jihad that “The believer’s fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain ,they kill and are killed “ That’s just what happened on September 11, 2001 the jihadists of al Qaeda “killed and were killed” in those 9/11 jihad attacks against both humankind and America. The Quran also teaches in Sura 9:123 to that jihad –minded Muslims behavior towards non-Muslims “let them find harshness in you…”
Those Islamic attacks on 9/11 were indeed very “harsh.” As Sura 2:191 instructs “kill the disbeliever wherever you find them.” That’s a very strange kind of “peaceful religion” if there ever was one. Just to site one more out on many from the Qu ‘ran about the instruction of deadly violence is Sura 47:4. Which instructs “Whenever you encounter unbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them …” Let’s face it, using jet planes a missiles as those jihadist/ Muslims did of September 11, sure made a greater “slaughter among them” then sword can.
The West needs to wake up to the actual nature of Islam before it’s too late.
Walter Sieruk says
It’s a good idea not to take at face value the claim that the word Islam means “peace.” For example, the ENCARTA WORLD ENGLISH DICTIONARY copyright 1999 defines Islam as “submission” based on the word “aslama” meaning “he surrendered.” Given the definition it’s an odd phenomenon that after about fourteen hundred years starting on September 12, 2001 the meaning changed from “submission” to “peace.” It’s very well known that if the police are questioning someone and he changes his story something is wrong. Nevertheless, when it comes to Islam no one gets suspicious of the change. The jihadists brag that they will win the war against the West by using the Western ignorance and naive gullible mindset on the subject of Islam against us. It seems that they do have some basis in that claim since so many Westerners are beguiled by the Muslim disinformation campaign.
BTeboe says
Peaceful my ass. Islam is a political system with its own laws and religion. They don’t respect life in any way shape or form and will kill their own family members for their ‘honor’. You cannot believe in science and Islam at the same time. The only reason it still exists on the planet is because if you try and leave Islam you’ve got a Fatwah placed on your head and you’re a dead man. Women are second class citizens and goats have more rights. They hate homosexuality, but pedophilia is just fine declaring that it is okay to marry a 3yr old. Islam does not assimilate. Ever.

Disunited? So nonbelivers atomized by a detonation, of a a truck bomb, say, are participating in group disunification?
Sort of like group therapy without those bothersome follow-up meetings.

Death to islam.

NYC: Muslims mark beginning of Ramadan in Times Square, proclaim ‘Islam is a religion of peace’
………..
Bald-faced Taqiyya.
Michael Copeland says
The duping of Cameron,
Likewise of Clegg,
And before them of Brown and Blair,
They all trace back
In a dead straight track
To the duping of Bush by CAIR.
