"Islam was never a religion of peace." [View all]
NOTE: Posted in the Atheists/Agnostics Group, a safe haven where we do unto religion what religion has done unto us.Who said that? Pam Geller? Geert Wilders? Somebody on DU?
No, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi said that. He's the head of ISIS who has been MIA for many months. His rantings are on a just-released audiotape:
"Islam was never a religion of peace. Islam is the religion of fighting. No one should believe that the war that we are waging is the war of the Islamic State. It is the war of all Muslims, but the Islamic state is spearheading it. It is the war of Muslims against infidels.
O Muslims, go to war everywhere. It is the duty of every Muslim."
O Muslims, go to war everywhere. It is the duty of every Muslim."
The link below is the first one I found with the quote, which I just read from a Wire Report in the local paper.
