Islam Can Be A Religion Of Peace Or A Religion Of Violence And Intolerance, Saudi,Iran,Qatar Choose The Latter

There are verses in the Quran that, if followed, are the path to a peaceful, tolerant life full of compassion and goodwill. There are also verses in the Quran that, if followed, are the path to a life of the opposite. Islam can be one or it can be the other, as the world is now witnessing. Islam can be a religion of peace and tolerance. But it can also be a religion of intolerance, bigotry and violence. It is too easy, too expedient, to dismiss those that act violently and cruelly in the name of Islam as being not true Muslims. The violent, out of control jihadists level the same charges against Muslims that reject their interpretations and choose the path of peace and tolerance. Simply put, there is in the Quran the verses that support peace and tolerance, and there is in the Quran the verses that support war, violence, intolerance, and the superiority of Islam and the justification for the oppression and demeaning of other religions and beliefs. What makes matters terrible are that the wealthiest oil rich Islamic nations are promoting the harshest interpretations of the Quran and of Islam. The violent, psychopathic worldwide jihadist movements that are destroying this world did not come out of a vacuum. They have long been funded, nurtured, and sponsored by oil rich nations such as Iran on the Shia side, and by so called American allied Sunni Islamic nations such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia. This support comes either directly from the governments of these countries, or from their private citizens, or both. Children all over the world right now are being indoctrinated in Saudi funded schools and mosques that guarantee the next generation of jihadists. Peaceful movements in Islam that practice peace, tolerance, diversity, are being crushed. We have to stop making the misleading arguments that the violent jihadist groups are not Islamic. Instead, we need to recognize the duality that exists in Islam, including that which is written in the Quran itself, and stop closing our eyes to those countries and organizations that promote intolerance and violence. People do not need some so called scholar or apologist to explain away what anyone can plainly read for themselves in the Quran. If people, if governments, if religious leaders, promote violence and intolerance, then the world will stay washed in blood and misery, and it will only get worse. If people, if religious leaders,if governments, promote the message of peace and tolerance that can also be found in the Quran, then the world will be a far better place. Pretending both messages do not exist in Islam and in the Quran is simply delusional and wishing away reality. Imagine if the oil rich Islamic nations of the world used their wealth to spread peace, nonviolence, compassion and tolerance, instead of the harshest, most violent and intolerant interpretations of Islam. Imagine how different and better the world would be.
