Islam is NOT a religion of peace

Time to face the facts: there is none to blame but yourselves. Islam was spread by violence for over 1,400 years, so why the surprise and denial of reality? The two FOX News journalists kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists forced them to convert to your "religion of peace" at gunpoint. Forced conversions have been going on for more than a millenia and continue unabated today throughout most of the world.

By refusing to recognize that reality and changing it, Islam will never become the peaceful religion it was supposed to be.
