Over the weekend I read several stories the war in Afghanistan and in other areas and I am still shocked how some people still defend Islam as being a religion of peace. There may be Muslims who are peaceful people, but the religion itself is all about violence. A medical mission group comprised of several nationalities was ambushed and killed in Afghanistan because the Taliban said they were preaching Christianity. A religion of peace would not condone the cowardly slaughter of people who were trying to bring medical care to less fortunate people.
Next, a Pakistani couple were killed by the husbands brother and some of his friends for refusing to allow their daughters to marry his sons. Form where I come from marrying your first cousin is a form of incest. And even then the rejection does not deserve death of your brother. Until Islamic leaders begin to speak out and condemn these acts of violence, I for one will never view their religion as anything other than a bunch of bullies getting together to try and force people to do what they want and using religion to justify it.
