What Islam is not
Did a search, and didn't find a thread containing this video.
A study on Islam and its effect on countries.

See, now with the title, the first thing that occured to me Islam was not was " the religion of peace".

I have on diifferent threads recommended that all SF soldiers should read "The Haj" by Leon Uriss, it is a great read to understand the Arab. Blitzzz

I'm going to take you up on this, and would love to read it.
I do want to make the distinction between Arabs (350 million) and Muslims (1.2 billion). Not all Arabs are Muslim. Most Muslims are not Arabs.
Oh, and that was a very eye-opening video. I wish all of our fellow citizens could see it.

Thanks for posting this video. For the past few months, I have been reading up on different cultures around the world, and this is one that I am getting into more in depth. If you have not seen the movie "Fitna" (the one that Muslim leaders issued a Fatwah on the director/producer over) I suggest watching it. The movie goes in detail exposing what Islam really is. There are rare occasions when I hear people say "Islam is a religion of peace" and I quietly chuckle.

You need to do a little more searching before posting.
