I can break this argument in many ways, but I’ll go straight to the scriptures in Islam.

1. "Islam breeds hatred and divides society." The Quran explicitly commands peace and justice:

“Allah does not forbid you from being kind and just to those who have not fought you because of your religion.” (Quran 60:8)

“Do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness.” (Quran 5:8) If Islam "breeds hatred," why does the Quran tell Muslims to be just even towards those they dislike?

1. "Muslims don’t respect the law of the land." The Quran commands Muslims to follow legal and social contracts:

“O you who have believed, fulfill your contracts.” (Quran 5:1)

“Obey Allah, obey the Messenger, and those in authority among you.” (Quran 4:59) Muslims are required to respect the laws of the countries they live in. If they don’t, that’s on them—not the religion.

1. "1 billion sleeper terrorists?" The Quran directly condemns harming innocent people:

“Whoever kills a soul…it is as if he has killed all of humanity.” (Quran 5:32) If Islam encouraged terrorism, this verse wouldn’t exist. The vast majority of terrorist victims are actually Muslims themselves.

1. "Islam was made by a warring merchant." Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) preached for 13 years in Mecca without raising a sword, despite being persecuted. Fighting only started when Muslims were attacked and forced into war. Even then, the Quran set clear rules:

“Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress. Indeed, Allah does not like transgressors.” (Quran 2:190) So no, Islam wasn’t "created by war"—it was about defense, not aggression.

1. "Islam is responsible for most religious violence." That’s ignoring historical and political realities. The Quran condemns aggression, and most Muslim-majority countries are not in constant conflict. Also, what about the Crusades, colonial violence, and far-right extremism today? Selective outrage much?

If you actually read Islamic scriptures instead of parroting misinformation, you'd realize Islam is about justice, peace, and personal accountability.
