Islam is peace, says Obama envoy

Well, if you are a Muslim it is.  Otherwise the Qur'an calls for the death, subjugation or conversion(9-29) of you, the non-Muslim. 

The absolute folly of this line of thinking is almost beyond the ability to believe that such behavior exists in Washington DC.  Wait, did I just say that?  I mean, it is no surprise that the Obama WH believes that Islam is a religion of peace, after all he has been spouting this line ever since Jan 20, 2009.

It is clear we know nothing of Islamic doctrine of how Islam drives our enemies, we still want to see Islam as the same as all the other major religions, thus the continued rhetoric.

 Obama envoy claims Islam is answer to violence

Hussain to Afghans: Your faith 'one of the strongest tools' against terror 

A month before swarms of violent Afghans beheaded United Nations workers in the name of Islam, President Obama's top envoy to the Muslim world promoted Islam in a visit to Afghanistan, arguing it was one of the "strongest tools" against such violence.

In February, Rashad Hussain, U.S. special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference, gave a talk in the Afghan capital of Kabul in which he called on locals to recommit themselves to their religion:

"I am of the opinion that one of the strongest tools that you can use to counter radicalization and violent extremism is Islam itself, because Islam rejects violent extremism," Hussain told the gathering of Afghans, according to a transcript obtained by WND from the U.S. Embassy in Kabul.

He also said the Muslim faith is central to the administration's strategy to turn Muslims from jihadi violence:

"We see that as one of the key elements of a strategy to address this type of violence," added Hussain, a former White House aide appointed last year to represent the U.S. to the Organization of the Islamic Conference, a 57-nation Muslim bloc, which includes Afghanistan and other terror hotspots.

Islamic fundamentalism, however, appears to have led to the horrific violence against U.N. workers and other Westerners in Afghanistan. The killing spree followed Friday prayers at mosques in several Afghan cities, including Kabul.

To ignore what the Qur'an says with a wave of the hand is foolish and not in any way going to make a difference.  It is Islam as defined and practiced in it's purist form which makes it dangerous, and to say it is a religion of peace with no texts or tenets to back it up is to show ignorance.
