Islam. A Religion of Peace or Violence?

[<SMILE>]

---

The old saying that there are no atheists in foxholes is not really true. Before, during and after combat, we can find atheists who consistently hold to their orientation. It is true, though, that people often do turn to their faith as a source of solace and support in their most stressful moments. In fact, some groups such as the elderly and minority groups may be more likely to look to their faith for help than to family, friends and the health care system.

Empirical studies of many groups dealing with major life stressors such as natural disaster, illness, loss of loved ones, divorce and serious mental illness show that religion and spirituality are generally helpful to people in coping, especially people with the fewest resources facing the most uncontrollable of problems. However, there are many forms of religious coping, and some are more helpful than others. People can draw on many religious and spiritual resources that have been tied to better adjustment in times of crisis. These positive religious coping methods include spiritual support from God or a higher power, rituals to facilitate life transitions, spiritual forgiveness, support from a religious institution or clergy and reframing a stressful situation into a larger, more benevolent system of meaning.

On the other hand, some forms of religious and spiritual coping can be more problematic. Life events can shake and shatter people spiritually as well as psychologically, socially and physically. People may struggle spiritually with their understanding of God, with inner conflicts or with other people. A growing body of research has linked these spiritual struggles to higher levels of psychological distress, declines in physical health and even greater risk of mortality. Thus, it is important for psychologists and other health care providers to be aware of the dual nature of religion and spirituality; they can be vital resources for health and well-being, but they can also be sources of distress.
What Role Do Religion and Spirituality Play In Mental Health?

Quite true,
the bottom line is the entire fiasco is caused by characters not with beliefs.

Political Islam is not a peaceful religion. It is a violent totalitarian ideology worse than communism. Those apologists who keep saying "Islam is a peaceful religion" every time a bomb goes off after the typical "Allahu Akbars" are usually ignorant of Islam and its foundational texts.

nindot na unta imong storya. pero naa man kay INTAWN PUN NIMO.

cenxia, pero dapat na e-widen pa nimu imong nahibal-an about sa mga pari sa christianity na naay asawa.

akong classmate sa una - iyang papa pari. ACTIVE na pari. nindot kaayo ug tripping. every year bago na mitsubishi lancer. ang church kay kabalo na naa cyay pamilya but walay action na gibuhat.


suggest pa ka ug mag basa mi ug news, murag ikaw man dapat mag buhat sa imong own suggestion. pag try ug search ug religious murders didto sa india. diha nimu makita na perting daghana gipatay tungod lang sa religion.

i have a lot of indian co-workers, and the stories they tell about the murders in india in the name of religion is like a horror movie.

one example : India Condemns Religious Violence After Killing of Muslim Man - WSJ

wa mn kahay gi patay ang pari?? sayop ang pari but atleast wa siya'y gipatay pra sa iya relihiyon.. bali pa gali ang nahitabo naa pa gali siya'y gibuhi noun imo amigo. lol suggest npud ko ug basa-basa sa title sa thread.

paita aning mga tao na mangita gyud ug lusut.

nalimot ka na prohibited na sa inyong church ( RC ) ang pari na naay pamilya pero para sa imo ok ra. mao niy problem sa mga tao gyud. biased towards their beliefs.

naa nay daghan link diha na nagpakita na dili ra ang islam ang mupatay, pati ang christians. basaha sad na diha. but since you're biased to your religion, im sure you wont read them.

paita aning mga tao nga d kamao mu basa ug sabot oi, sayop gali ang pari ingon diay kog dle... dapat ma tangtang to siya sa pagka pari pero naa ba siyay gi patay sa iyang sayop?

boko hara, Isis, al qaeda, abu sayyaff, MILF, MNLF, hezbollah, taliban, hamas and many to mention. ikaw na lng search unsay common ana nila bai.. starring kaayo na sila sa news mapa local or international. of course i.defend npud na nmo sila as expected.
