Yes it is. Islam teaches a person to be cool and quite. It teaches a person to not to talk anything wrong about any religion. Yes it tells that kill the non believers, but only if they attack you. So that killing is for your own safety and i think that any religion would say that. Show me one religion that does not say that. And regarding the current scenario in which Islam is linked with terrorism, let me tell you, its the people and not the religion which is doing terrorism, so please try and study Islam first before coming to any conclusions

Peaceful and quite easily each religion has extremists. I believe Christians have the KKK and various groups against homosexual behaviour, each have taken to violence.

I've read some of the responses in here and quite frankly, no wonder the world is having such a problem with understanding what the heck is going on. A person being from any country or religion does not make them a war monger or person who hates others. I think ALL sides should quit putting people in overall profile boxes and should start looking at each other as individuals. There is no war on Muslims, there is a war on terrorists, who terrorize BOTH sides. So, why not stand together against evil regardless of the religion of your choice? If we bicker and fight among ourselves, those of us who want peaceful lives and follow our own religion happily, then we have to find a unity and get rid of the trouble makes on all sides.

Islam is a religion of peace in my own opinion. The problem is the people misinterprete most of Mohammed's intention. As it is in Christianity, majority misinterprete the true meaning of most things spoken in unclear meaning and make to suit their individual desires. Who is a Moslem. I will say he is a human being with blood in his vain. He feels pains and recognize dangers. But he has a believe, which has become a part of him since infancy.

Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. It's just a handful that of muslims around the world that depict a picture of intolerance and violence.

I think true Islam is a peaceful religion and, if you study the crusades and how Muslims treated their Christian prisoners, you'll see proof of that. Unfortunately, there are a lot of fanatics out there that have turned it into a violent religion and those are the only ones you hear about.

every religion teaches to be peaceful,i never read the kuran but iam sure i says that, some selfish people in order to satisty their needs are trying to shield them selfs with the name of religion, basically iam a hindu, it doesnt really matter what matters is what u do, these religions are just the pathway, they are just there to show u the way, the rest is in your hands. i never consider an religion to violent cause if it was it whould never have been called a religion. so no questions asked islam or for that matter any religion stands for peace and other good stuff

Oh! I did not know about this great qualities of this religion. All preachers are not followers. In Fact every religion boasts that they preach peace and tolerance. Where the hell these terrorists come from influenced by which bloody f....ing religion? These terrorists should be sent into gas chambers.

Islam is a religion of worshippers.......who follow the ideals of islam......their rules r very stringent and these sectarians do follow the rules . Each and evry religion conveys one common message to the world and that is spread humanity and maintain an aura of tranquility.Whether the religion is of peace or tolerance depend upon the attribute and mentality of the members.It varies from person 2 person .Since im not of this religion i ve got only a vague idea abt the principles of the religion and from the niche of my knowledge i would say the religion stands 4 peace and the promotion of the very idea rely on the religious leaders.........

I do believe that and I don't even know any Muslims. I believe it because there are always going to be extremists and fundamentalists that make any religion look bad. Just because the Inquisition took place doesn't make me think all Catholics are horrible people. I went to a Catholic school and 98% of the people I met were good people. It is the people in the news that give religions bad names.
