Hatred Against Islam
Pope Benedict XVI quoted Emperor Manuel II Paleologos of the Byzantine Empire, the Orthodox Christian:
“Show
me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find
things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword
the faith he preached.“*
Samuel P Huntington: Islam is Number 1 Enemy
Since
Pre-Crusades until now many prominent Christians often describe Islam
as evil and terrorist. Islam is their enemy that should be destroyed.

“Those
of them with whom thou madest a treaty, and, then at every opportunity
they break their treaty, and they keep not duty (to Allah)” [Quran 8:56]
Make
ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered,
that thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others
beside them whom ye know not. Allah knoweth them. Whatsoever ye spend
in the way of Allah it will be repaid to you in full, and ye will not be
wronged” [Quran 8:60]
“And if they incline to peace, incline thou also to it, and trust in Allah. Lo! He is the Hearer, the Knower” [Quran 8:61]

“Those who disbelieve and turn (men) from the way of Allah, He rendereth their actions vain” [Quran 47:1]
“Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransomtill the war lay down its burdens.
That (is the ordinance). And if Allah willed He could have punished
them (without you) but (thus it is ordained) that He may try some of you
by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He
rendereth not their actions vain” [Quran 47:4]

“They
long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be
upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they
forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them,” [Quran 4:89]
“Except
those who seek refuge with a people between whom and you there is a
covenant, or (those who) come unto you because their hearts forbid them
to make war on you or make war on their own folk. Had Allah willed He could have given them power over you so that assuredly they would have fought you. So, if they hold aloof from you and wage not war against you and offer you peace, Allah alloweth you no way against them” [Quran 4:90]

fatally, or to kill thee or to drive thee forth; they plot, but Allah
(also) plotteth; and Allah is the best of plotters” [Quran 8:30]
Tell
those who disbelieve that if they cease (from persecution of believers)
that which is past will be forgiven them; but if they return (thereto)
then the example of the men of old hath already gone (before them, for a
warning)” [Quran 8:38]
“And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is all for Allah. But if they cease, then lo! Allah is Seer of what they do” [Quran 8:39]

Islam Gives Freedom
Islam freed the people from Byzantines and Sassanids occupation and heavy taxes.
“During the first years of the Umayyad caliphate the jizyah was significantly less than the heavy taxes
that had been exacted by the Byzantines and the Sassanids. Therefore,
it probably did not seem particularly onerous to most of the Caliph’s
subjects.
In fact, compared with conditions under the Byzantines and Sassanids, the
period of the Arab Umayyad dynasty (661-751) was one of extraordinary
religious and cultural tolerance for the non-Muslim subject populations

Muslims as War Victims
Million Muslims killed by Christians during Crusades war
Million Muslims killed during 15th-20th centuries colonialism
Thousands Muslims slaughtered and raped in Bosnia Herzegovina
Million Muslims killed in invasion in Afghanistan and Iraq by US and its Allies.
Muslims slaughtered and treated as second class citizen by Israel
Many Muslim women and children in Palestine killed by Israel.
It is a war against terrorists, they said….
Epilogue
Peace is all we want!
I
have seen many articles or prominent figures saying bad things about
Islam such as Islam is terrorist, Islam is killer, Islam is the most
violent religion in the world, etc.
As
a result, many Muslims become victims from the Crusades era until US
invasion in Afghanistan and Iraq. Muslims are terrorists that should be
killed! That is what the warmonger had in mind.
By
this presentation I hope other people could see that violent happens
everywhere in every religion. Introspection is all we need.
Please download the Religion War Body Count here:
The body count include the War, date, the Religion of Warriors, and the number of victims from 0 to 2008 AD.
Source:
From
the statistics above, the number 1 killer is the Christians with
177,941,750 victims (World War I kill 17 million people and World War II
kill 55 million) people followed by the Atheists who killed 125,285,007
people. The wars between Germany, British, France, US, etc). It
outnumbers the Muslims which only kill 31,943,500 victims. Actually
Islam is below the Buddhist because Sinic (China) with Buddhism as the
majority religion is separated from Buddhist.
Mark Levin in his blog counting the body count between the victims that the Judaeo-Christians kill compared to Muslims:
In 20th century Judaeo
Christians killed 200 million people in Stalin’s era, WW1, WW2, and
others while in 1950 population in Northern America and Europe only 720
million. They killed more than 50% of “its own”. While Muslims killed
less than 1% of the Judaeo-Christians killing.
Islam vs the West Since 2000:
Western killed more than 100,000 Muslims (mostly from aerial bombardment) in Iraq, Afghanistan, and also in Palestine.
While Muslim only killed 10,000 which is already included the Western soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
