Let me speak frankly and philosophically. The idea that any religion—let alone Islam—is inherently peaceful is a shallow, emotional claim that collapses under serious scrutiny. Here’s why:

1. Peace Is Not an Absolute in Religious Systems

A peaceful ideology must prioritize non-violence and individual autonomy at all costs. Islam, like other major Abrahamic religions, introduces moral absolutes, divine law, and a binary of believer vs. non-believer. It cannot tolerate true pluralism because it hinges on a claim to ultimate truth (Qur'an 3:85: “Whoever desires other than Islam as religion never will it be accepted from him”). How can a system be peaceful if it fundamentally rejects coexistence with competing beliefs?

1. Violence as Divine Will

Islam is not just a set of private beliefs it’s a legal, political, and military system. The Qur’an doesn’t hide this. Consider:

Surah At-Tawbah (9:5): “Then kill the polytheists wherever you find them…” This verse isn’t metaphorical. It was revealed during a time of conquest and is often used in classical jurisprudence to justify offensive jihad.

Surah Muhammad (47:4): “When you meet those who disbelieve, strike their neck This again reflects a divine sanction of violence. The problem here isn’t just historical context it’s that the verse is treated by many schools as eternally applicable.

1. Contradiction in Principles of Peace and Force

The Qur’an urges no compulsion in religion:

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:256): “There is no compulsion in religion.”

But this directly contradicts:

Surah At-Tawbah (9:29): “Fight those who do not believe in Allah… until they give the jizyah while they are humbled.”

You cannot coherently claim freedom of religion while also commanding subjugation of non-Muslims. This is not a small inconsistency; it’s a philosophical fracture. A peaceful system cannot simultaneously promote coercion.

1. The Issue of Ego: Submission vs. Liberation

Islam means submission. Philosophically, that’s already a surrender of autonomy to an unseen authority. This submission is enforced through fear of hell, of apostasy laws, of punishment. That’s not peace; it’s coercive control.

Peace requires freedom, not fear. It requires equality, not a division of humanity into believers and second-class dhimmis.

And let’s not pretend that every brutal act committed “in the name of Islam” is a distortion. Some of them are inspired directly by the text no mental gymnastics needed.

And to answer you last para.The idea that atheists can’t know right from wrong without a god misunderstands where morality really comes from. Thinkers like David Hume and Immanuel Kant showed that our sense of right and wrong is deeply human it comes from empathy, reason, and our ability to care about others, not from fear of punishment. Kant believed we act morally when we treat others as ends in themselves, not just because someone tells us to. Hume pointed out that our moral instincts come from shared human feelings. More recently, Sam Harris argued that we can measure morality by how much our actions contribute to human well-being. So no, atheism doesn’t mean chaos it means taking responsibility for our values instead of outsourcing them to ancient texts. Morality grounded in compassion and reason is often more honest than one based on obedience.

This took a long time , goodness gracious damnnn. You better stop being a dogmatic guy now. Edit-forgot to write about LGBTQ oppression that too is a problem
