It is not a religion of peace. Right now Moslems are using mass immigration to conquer the West.

Islam is literally a religion of terror. Quran filled with fear and threat messages.

I don't really know why anyone who is trying to follow the teachings of allah/Yahweh would ever consider themselves a religion of peace. Christianity isn't a peaceful religion, and Jesus was considerably more peaceful than his dad.

Actually I've heard that the qur'an kind of did the reverse of the bible. It starts off good, but eventually goes violent. The bible starts off violent, then becomes better towards the end. Aside from the invention of hell.

I really tried to read the Koran, and I will continue to try, but the first 10 pages are already filled with such brutal bullshit - especially about nonbelievers. Chastise the nonbelievers!

Not to mention that the first 40 pages are about Moses sacrificing a cow.

They're conquering it non-militarily from within mainly through reproduction so that's the peaceful way of doing it and they're probably going to succeed. There still a few Jihadists but I'm sure if they're deviants to the faith or kind harking back to how the faith began to start with.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
