Lebanon, once thought of as among the most liberal parts of the Middle East, is poised to ban global hit movie “Barbie.” More conservative Kuwait said Wednesday that it had gone ahead with a ban due to its promotion of homosexuality.

Um, islam and peace in Arabic both come from the Arabic root س ل م, so to say that they aren’t related is just wrong.
Most religions have/had a very strong violent aspect directly related to them. (Crusades, Israel’s Torah “backed” colonization, India creating a hindu state, etc.).
Everyone is free to believe what they want but imposing something on others is not cool :/
True enough, but it also means “surrender”, and that’s the intended meaning: surrendering your will to Allah.
I don’t like centralized religions either, and I think I agree with your points. But I’m just saying the line “The X of peace” is either so generic that it is a bland description of any ideology. All ideology hides it’s violence behind self defense, and are therefore “peaceful”. Or it implies that they are particularly peaceful, so it’s a description of non-violent. But few ideologies would identify as non violent, and so they would not use that term to describe themselves.
