The whole "religion of peace" thing is so lame. These are psychotic individuals. They don't speak for anyone, or change an entire religion.
Nope to worry. Now that Orangetweet has called them "losers", it's all over. Never another killing.
lol
What a clod.
I have no messiah, asswipe.
Did I hear Orangetweet refer to them in Saudi Arabia as he did in the campaigns? Nope. The Orange pussy did not. Now, they're "losers. lol That'll sure end them for sure!
So, he pusses out just like he did with the Mexican President on the wall.
Fucking coward and buffoon.
Actually it's from the Arabic.
The word "Islam" comes from the root word slm, same as shalom in Hebrew.. meaning peace of mind, or submission of your mind to peace.
The word Muslim comes from the same root.. the prefix mu plus slim... meaning one who follows Islam.
It was your hero, George Dumbya Bush, who called it a religion of peace. You know, they guy you voted for twice and whom you undoubtedly worshipped and defended for eight years?
I get the impression you have never actually met any Muslims. You don't strike me as somebody who is experienced, knowlegeable, or worldly.
Here is a tip for you: the world's one billion muslims are not represented by a small gang of criminal terrorists. You know who is shedding the most blood trying to kill these criminal terrorists?
That's right. Muslims are. Not you. Not Drumpf. Not rightwing keyboard warriors. The muslims of the middle east are fighting and dying to wipe out this criminal terrorist gang.

Oh, hi
Total and compete BS.
Islam does not that mean any more than Jihad means that.
If you're a woman, go live in a Muslim country and get back to me.
I guess you didn't bother reading the full 3 sentences I wrote that you quoted, LOL!!!
Real compassionate... She's had an epiphanic event and understands that her show isn't quite as important as the grief of those who lost loved ones at her concert.
I would live in Jordan and my niece and nephew love to dive in Indonesia, who happens to have a woman president.
Explain the linguistic roots of the word. Your hatred of Islam is noted.
I bet you criticize troops suffering from PTSD because of bombs also.

Oh, hi
It takes opinion of others to extrapolate peace, the base meaning is surrender or submission.
Your love of Islam is noted.
"Love" is too strong of a word. I respect it and the people who practice it. Just as I respect Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and all the rest.
Language Matters: Islam, a Definition
Language is to ideas what the body is to the soul. It is the physical manifestation of thought. It is the mortar with which we shape our understanding of the world. But what happens when words are transmuted from one language to another and subjected to preconceived notions or limitations prevalent in the new language? Do they lose some of their original meaning? If we are interested in gaining a better, more accurate understanding of Islam, its concepts, doctrine, and ideas, we must concede that there needs to be more robust scrutiny of the definitions that shape our discourse on Islam.
So with that in mind, I will be running a special series here at the Chicago Tribune’s The Seeker faith blog in which I will attempt to analyze definitions and translations of key Islamic terms to test them for authenticity. I am calling the series “language matters,” an intended pun on the importance of language in the understanding of faith constructs.
For this first installment, let us start at the root, the word “Islam” itself. Islam is commonly translated into English, by both Muslims and non-Muslims, as simply “submission” (or “surrender”).
This is a simplistic translation that fails to convey the full meaning of the Arabic word. There are namely two problems here.
First, “submission” and “surrender” in English contextualized usage imply a sense of coercion, a usurpation of one’s free will. When we say “surrender!” for example, it’s usually at gun point.
This contradicts a foundational criterion of Islam: freedom of will. In Arabic, "Istislam," not “Islam”, means "surrender" (noun). Like its English counterpart, “Istislam” implies coercion, and like its English counterpart it can be used to describe the act of one man vis-a-vis another. Conversely, “Islam” is used ONLY in the context of God, and ONLY in a state of free will (there is no single word in the English language that conveys this).
In other words, for a Muslim to be a Muslim, he or she must accept Islam free of force or coercion. God wishes for us to choose him because we want him, and for no other reason but that. This is a key point that is often misunderstood. Since faith is a matter of the heart, it can never be forced. It is technically impossible that Islam could ever be spread by the sword or by coercion, as some suggest, since even if at gun point (or at the sword blade), one could just as well proclaim to be a Muslim to avoid death, but reject Islam in their heart.
That is not to say that an “empire,” whether Islamic or otherwise, cannot be spread by the sword. But faith cannot. Just as no physical force can coerce you to love someone you do not love, none can coerce you to believe something you do not believe.
God understands this; in fact, he ordained that it be so. Since he is a judge of hearts first and foremost, it is logically necessary that he makes faith a matter of free choice, a matter of the heart and mind. Islam can only be spread by invitation (Da’wah) and persuasion (Hujjah), not coercion (Ikrah). The Qur’an explicitly states: “La Ikrah fel Deen” or “Let there be no compulsion in matters of faith.” (Ultimately, Muslims believe that faith is decreed by divine guidance.)
The second problem this translation poses is that there is no linguistically derived relationship between the English “submission” and the English “peace,” unlike the case in Arabic where “Islam” and “Salam” (peace) are derived from the same root word “slm” (to be in peace).

I would totally join a religion where I could wear cool ass hats like this one.

I bloody well do, she fucked off straight back to the US in her private jet rather than go see the injured in hospital. If the Queen can take time to go to the hospital, why can't she?

Hey snarky arsewipe, get your facts straight. There are 1. 6 billion million Muslims in the world and growing. I have met plenty, in fact there is a large Muslim community just two miles from me. I have also been to a few Muslim countries including Malaysia, Pakistan, Egypt, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Turkey.
