✗Opposing Perspectives

To speak specifically of our problem with the Muslim world, we are meandering into a genuine clash of civilizations, and we're deluding ourselves with euphemisms. We're talking about Islam being a religion of peace that's been hijacked by extremists. If ever there were a religion that's not a religion of peace, it is Islam.

— Sam Harris

Islam is not a religion of peace. Islam is a religion of submission. Islam means submit.
