Peace loving muslims are heretics who have NOT read the Quran or the Hadiths. A muslim resisting war is like a Christian denying that Christ ever existed. Heretics.
Islam is not foremost a religion, it is a political system for ruling and conquering enemies.
You sure you're not talking about the god of the Old Testament now are you?
Hold it! Why is no one contesting the assertion that Islam is not a religion? Oh yah, that must only be appropriate when talking about Christianity.
Islam and Christianity are both religions. They involve the worship of a god and they have dogmas and rituals attached to them. They are not philosophies either it would seem, because they make claims and provide answers via these claims.
The starts of both of these religious ideas were both very political IMO and were in fact used for ruling and conquering. Now days they are used less for conquering enemies though.
But to address your complaint, it is not often we hear someone here saying that Islam is in fact not a religion. We hear it all the time when it comes to Christianity however. Christianity is not being singled out, it probably just seems that way to you because this website is called Debating Christianity and Religion and not Debating Islam and Religion.
If you can get more Muslims to post here, perhaps 'Islam is not a religion' may become a real thing we hear here that will then need to be addressed. It's just not at this time though.

I blame man for codifying those rules into a book which allowed superstitious people to perpetuate a barbaric practice. Rules that must be followed or face an invisible beings wrath. - KenRU
