Simple answer to Omar

I believe that your way of debating is civilized but lack lots of logic and lacks the basics of understanding Islam. I also came from the arab world and I know Quran in its original language, for some reason muslims like you are trying hard to make a peaceful religion out of Islam. Islam is only peaceful to Muslims to the people who believe in it, Muslims are taught to be good with their fellow Muslims, but Islam since its origin never was peaceful with non-Muslims unless you consider humiliating other nations, and occupying their lands is peaceful. Muhammad justified the unjustifiable to make Islam spread, his followers occupied most of the middle east and Europe until they were defeated by the french army. for GOD sake what is peacful about such a religeon. stop lying to yourself and stop spreading what so called "peacful message that has nothing to do with peace". When you said that islam forbids killing women and children in wars unlike the concept "eye for eye". who told you that? Christianity came 600 years before Islam and Jesus reversed all of the violence acts of humanity, islam corrupted the message of the real peace preached and lived by the Christ. Please don't insult the intelligence of the readers and stop making a hero of Muhammad and claiming peace in his message. It is exactly what Muhammad wrote to the kings around Mecca "salem taslam" I.e. become a muslim and then you will be safe, when the kings refused his followers invaded them and ruled by the Sharia law, read Omar's dhimmi laws, I am sure you know them but it is either you are deceiving your self and trying to deceive others

The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you
