The Religion of Peace

Shortly after 9/11, President Bush said that “#Islam is the religion of peace.” While history will likely be kind to him for such an unfortunate statement, given that he courageously took the war against militant Islam to the heart of the Middle East. But can there be any doubt that Islam is the religion of war? Since 9/11 there have been worldwide 20,000 attacks by Muslims. And tellingly, most of the casualties have been suffered by fellow Muslims. In Syria alone, it is estimated now that there have been 70,000 deaths.
