Is Islam a "Peaceful Religion?"

Not according to the Koran: "After examining a number of scriptures which warn of the dangers of having Christian and Jewish friends, the lesson concludes: 'It is compulsory for the Muslims to be loyal to each other and to consider infidels their enemy.' This comes straight from the Quran. 'O believers,' the Quran says (Sura 5, Verse 50), 'do not hold Jews and Christians as your allies. They are the allies of one another; and anyone who makes them his friends is surely one of them.' As historian Paul Johnson noted in National Review, such 'canonical commands' -- along with 'slay the idolaters wheresoever you find them' (Sura 9, Verse 5) -- 'cannot be explained away or softened by modern theological exegesis, because there is no such science in Islam.' Johnson goes on to explain that contrary to the evolving nature of both Christianity and Judaism, Islam has never undergone any update, reformation or enlightenment since its inception in the seventh century. 'Islam,' he wrote, 'remains a religion of the Dark Ages. The seventh-century Quran is still taught as the immutable word of God, any teaching of which is literally true. In other words, mainstream Islam is essentially akin to the most extreme form of Biblical fundamentalism.' " In other words, they're trying to foist upon us a seventh-century ideology, disguised as a religion. (Just common sense)
