"Islam: A religion of peace or war?"
A debate took place in Oxford University on whether Islam is a religion of peace or of war. This topic that has been controversial since a very long time still makes lots of people thirsty for a clear answer. The woman at the beginning totally believes that Islam is a peace of war even that there are lots of Muslims who are peaceful unlike terrorists. When the opponent side speaks, a Muslim young man presents facts that are true and logical.
Those who accuse Islam with terrorism always try to get statistics and information to support their opinions, but they always shift from the real topic trying to relate it somehow to say that Islam is a religion of war. This young man on the other hand regardless of the side he supports came with real evidence, logical statistics, persuasive attitude and enthusiasm that encouraged the audience to listen and to try to understand his perspective and beliefs even if they oppose him.
The audience was asked to vote at the end and the results were as following: 286 for Islam a religion of peace and 168 for Islam a religion of war.
It is worth watching, so here's the link for only part of the whole debate:

The real problem that Muslims are facing nowadays is their lack of knowledge about their religion, focusing on one part and neglecting the other, and the lack of flexible mentality.
Islam is a religion of war if focusing on some facts and quotations, it's also a religion of peace when focusing on other quotations from the Quoran.
The Quoran is a valuable book where each word, each line, and each part hold different meanings and can be explained in different ways.....Here is the real problem! Each group of Muslims are having their own explanations!
Unfortunately many people who claim to be Muslims are only there to mar the image of Islam. Their terrorist actions and lack of values represent nothing but backwardness. Islam is a religion of peace and acceptance of differences and not that of tyranny and despotism. The beauty of Islam lies in tolerating others instead of hurting them; as many hypocrites are doing nowadays unfortunately.
