Does Islam mean peace

[El Kabong]

But finding hypocrisy and a lunatic fringe in all religions has proven as common as the sun rising.

Yeah but at the present moment Islam is kinda having a pandemic of this stuff....being a Christian, I'd LOVE to help, and I like people celebrating whatever deity they choose to worship.....I just have issues with HOW they practice such religions is all. Going to the Mosque singing the prayers, helping the less fortunate, that's brilliant, God bless them....blowing up random people, stabbing, cutting off heads not so much and it ain't Christians doing that at the moment....oh believe you me, we have had our days where that was totally our bag, but not recently

It is a shame the evil and distortion that is done in name of so many religions that may on their own bring so many actual peace and awareness. Maybe I'm off but have always thought the true benefit and worth of religion begins with the individual, core in practice and living it rather than just reading a script or words on a page. It can be cheapened beyond belief.
