The meaning of the term "Islam"..

Submitted by J.S. (Canada), Jul 13, 2006 at 15:33

Dr. Pipes has written articles on the meaning of the term "Islam." The term "Islam" does not mean, Literally, or otherwise, "peace" -- the term, Islam, means "submission." This, of course, does not prevent the pathological liars from *claiming" that "Islam means peace!!" When, of course, they know full well that Islam does NOT mean peace. I find "Islam means peace" more a slogan to bring about a guffaw or a laugh -- like a punch line to a bad joke...Did you include a category for the psychopathic / murderous / criminal liars and all their supporters -- such as the BBC, the CBC, the Guardian (the Guardians of what? I wonder -- murderous butchers?), the Toronto Star, etc. etc.
