Islam is for peace...

Assalamualaikum....

Do you know what does it mean? It means 'peace be on you'. This is how we greet each other and you still say that Islam doesn't stand for peace. Either you are too ignorant about our religion or you are influenced by sites like this where people bash Islam for no reason. They just put a few so called Muslims and start shooting at them thinking that this is what Islam is. They never bother to have a look at the source from where Islam originates. A person who truely believes in Allah would never go on killing His creation, but sometimes in order to establish peace one has to fight. That's what Muhammed(peace be upon him) did. Have you forgot what Qur'an says....' if you kill any innocent humanbeing it's as thought you've killed the whole of humanity". Wake up from your sleep and try to know the true meaning of Islam. I wonder if you are a Muslim..........?
