... Islam does not mean peace and it has never meant peace. Islam means this: "Submit to Islam and then you will find peace. If you do not submit to Islam you will never have peace."

The above is what Islam means. It does not inherently mean peace! And I now quote Sir Winston Churchill:

"Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step." -- Sir Winston Churchill - circa 1899
