This is the dividend of lslam to humanity. It is not a religion of peace but a religion of hate, intolerance, death and destruction. Those who strongly believe in this religion find themselves increasingly unable to coexist with other people’s religion, culture and belief. Make no mistake about it, the world would be a better place without lslam.
