Why is it politically incorrect to question the Muslim claim that Islam is a religion of peace?

Because when people speak about their religion they always speak about it from their personal point of view of what it means and represents, not what others, especially those outside their community and experience, are doing with it. There are Muslims who are peaceful and believe their religion teaches peace and tolerance, Christians believe the same in Christianity. Obviously, this isn't or hasn't always been true however... Islam today is much more violent than it used to be, while Christianity is much more peaceful than it used to be.

The world is in a constant state of flux.

Oh dear God.... Christianity has not "caused" wars. It's one of those things that people say, and is simply not true. The Crusades were largely a response to Muslim aggression.

And for the *brief* period and the *isolated* cases where people who claimed to be Christians dealt violently and unprovoked with people over conversion, this has been solidly, unequivocally *denounced* by every major Christian leader you or I could name. --These so-called "Christians" had *horrible* theology. --That they were excreted and extinguished from the faith, is a testament to the Christian faith itself.

Compare this with the OCEANS of blood that Islam sheds to this day. Their warring tribes kill one another as well as "infidels" (read, "non-Muslims"); they can't even get along with each other! Islam is not a peaceful religion that has been 'hijacked by a teeny, tiny, minuscule minority of bad apples--a number so small it's hardly worth mentioning'.

It's completely, the opposite. Islam is a dangerous, ugly, evil religion founded in bloodshed, that has never stopped, and is now poised to literally *end* the civilized world, East and West. Most muslims, if they're honest, secretly agree with muslim aggression and the enactment of sharia law in the western world whether they admit it publicly or not.

It's actually a minority of well-meaning though seriously misguided muslims who expend all this time and energy trying to arm-wrestle this unwilling religion into one of "peace".

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
