The Idea Emporium
islam a religion of peace? - only if confirmed by the behavior of Muslims * Islam religion of peace? - not much evidence of that *
central beliefs of Islam, Islam teachings - these are not the issue here - the issue here is action - what is done
islam and peace, Islam religion of peace - there are many cries of this, often enraged cries - but actions speak louder than words

Elsa looking with ideas cooking

"It is a fact readily acknowledged,
that for humans, an idea is much more
powerful than a fact."

Muslims proclaim the idea of Islam a religion of peace.
Islam and peace? One sees much more of Islam and terror.
Needed: for facts to align with ideas,
for ideas to be grounded in facts.

Open Letter to All Muslims -
Give Peace A Chance

Many Muslims have protested against a Danish cartoon depicting their prophet with his turban turned into a bomb.

Many Muslims say: the Danish cartoon of the prophet is an outrage. One must make no image of the prophet. It defiles the religion. Islam is a religion of peace. These are central beliefs of Islam.

I say: No image of the prophet? All the world can easily see one very powerful Muslim image of the prophet – in the words and deeds of those Muslims who call for rage, hatred, violence. Islam a religion of peace? Where?

Islam and peace? We see Islam and terror. You slaughter fellow Muslims. You murder aid workers. You have created the very image portrayed in the Danish cartoon. You prefer to try to kill the messenger, instead of heeding the message and doing what is required: to change.

Islam and peace

   
An assassination plot
was uncovered against the man
who drew a cartoon
of the Muslim prophet.

Islam a religion of peace?


Peace and Islam - Islam and peace.
The words do not fit well together,
at present anyway.

Is Islam a religion of peace? I hear rage at a cartoon.

I say: change needed to give peace a chance.

The Idea Emporium - on Islam a Religion of Peace

One of my lifelong concerns has been trying to make sense of reality. What is happening? Why is this happening? And with that I come to ideas - ideas about reality, ideas that need to be checked against reality, not just believed in like the tooth fairy is accepted by a child.

Right now the thinking that grip me is about Islam and a little Danish cartoon.

Islam and peace - I wish there was a clear evident connection, so that everyone could easily accept the reality of Islam religion of peace - instead of fearing speaking out about the realities we see.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY: ISLAM A RELIGION OF PEACE DOES NOT SEEM TO COME FROM MUCH THOUGHT*
PERCEPTION: ISLAM AND PEACE FIT LESS WELL TOGETHER THAN ISLAM AND WAR, ISLAM AND TERROR
LOGICAL THINKING, CRITICAL THOUGHT LEADS US TO CONCLUDE: SOMETHING DOES NOT FIT HERE *

IT IS LIKELY THATTHE CRIES OF ISLAM RELIGON OF PEACE
ARE MEANT TO MAKE IT HARDER TO SEE WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING
