Turns out, Islam means "submission" not "peace."

    I wonder how this kind of apparent misconception could last for so long? According to many sources, Islam is based off of the root word for "submission" and not the root word for "peace."

    Wikipedia:
    From The Federalist:
    I'm not sure what to make of these sources but they certainly do present a thorough argument. Have we been hoodwinked by this "Islam means peace" thing this whole time?

    After reading the headlines for the last 10 years I'm PRETTY SURE that Islam means "violence". Makes sense to me.

    Well, I somehow had the impression it meant peace this whole time. Awkward.

    Well consider the Christian prayer that we all know... when we pray "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven"......

    Many people have, at one time or another, since 9/11. Mostly we have Bush 43 to thank for that.

    It means peace in the same way being opaque means transparent to Obama.

    On the bright side, submission is a term the French understand.

    There are no Hindus and Jews in heaven, so if it should be done on earth as it is in heaven will there also be no Hindus and Jews on earth, ideally?

    They took on Mohammad's minions in Africa recently, and beat them. They are fighting Mohammad's minions in ISIS areas. They've been a relatively decent partner in this endless war against Mohammad.
