Oxford Union Website @ www.oxford-union.org/
Peter Atkins, former Professor of Chemistry at Oxford, concludes the debate by describing Islam along with all other religions as a "supermarket of ideas and instructions" from which good and bad men can select what they want "according to their taste."
However, he claims that Islam "does in practice inspire more violence than the other Abrahamic religions".
Taking on Adam Deen's metaphor of a 'golden thread', he argues that "the opposite of peace is woven into the fabric of the Qur'an."
Atkins declares that "all the seas incarnadine cannot wash the blood from a religion's hands", because "when evils destroy a human life, as they did yesterday, that life cannot be restored". He calls on the audience to oppose the motion "for the sake of humanity."
MOTION: THIS HOUSE BELIEVES ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE.

    Questions: 1- Qur'an teaches peace and freedom of opinion. I agree. But why do some Islamic countries have the "death for apostasy" law? 2- If those Islamic countries have made up the "death for apostasy" law on their own and are misrepresenting Qur'an, then isn't it the responsibility of Muslims to persuade them to stop misrepresenting Qur'an by abolishing the "death for apostasy" law? 3- Wouldn't be easier to promote Islam in non-Islamic countries when no "death for apostasy" law exists in the currently Islamic countries? 4- What guarantees that promoting a peaceful Islam in a non-Islamic country will not eventually lead to "death for apostasy" law after it becomes an Islamic country?

    They misinterpreted a statement of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). The "death for apostasy" was made because in the early days of Islam it was a war on the state and the "apostates" apostatized because they did not want to follow the law and become the leaders of the Caliphate unjustly.

    Islam has death penalty for apostasy and it's procedure is if one muslim converts to some other religion. Then scholars of islam will say to that man to come back to islam if you will not come back then argue with us and let's have a discussion to find which religion is true, I mean that which religion is valid to be followed. If he can prove that the new religion is better then the new religion is valid to be followed but if can't then the scholars of islam will prove to him that islam is the only valid true religion which is must to be followed to go to paradise in the Hereafter. Islam is the only religion which can answer all the questions which can come in your mind. The scholars will convince him for three days to take him back to islam. And if he doesn't come he will be sentenced to death penalty. All those are bullying on Islam are those who don't know about islam and whoever gain the true knowledge of islam converts to islam. Just search and listen to those who converted to islam are the highly educated intelligent men in Europe and America and those converted to some other religion from islam they are those who are uneducated and those who don't have the knowledge of Islam. So my friend feel the difference.

    Hello, I really appreciate you for asking questions rather than badmouthing like some others on here. Personally, I would recommend that you actually do some more research on this yourself as it might help you come up with an idea of why it exists. However, I will try to answer your question and if it makes sense to you great! if not, well no one can change that. First let me start off by explaining what this law really is and why it is in place in Islamic states. The "death for apostasy" law came into use when atheists and polytheists at the time of the holy prophet(pbuh) used to seemingly convert to Islam and then leave Islam just to spread hate and denounce it amongst the masses. “And a section of the people of Book says, ‘believe at day-break in what has been sent down to those who believe and deny at the day-end; perhaps they may turn away.’” (Qur’an 3:72). They did this because they had extreme animosity towards the prophet(pbuh) they did not like that the Holy Prophet(pbuh) was changing their wild ways and showing them decency, gratefulness etc. Another important thing that I want to mention is that this law only comes into affect when the apostasy becomes public. This is where your freedom of thinking and freedom of opinion/expression separate. You have no limits freedom of thought, however when you start taking action on it it becomes your deed and hence if you become apostate and keep to yourself this law does not apply, if you go out in the public denouncing Islam; spreading lies, hate and encouraging others around you to leave the religion, it results in this law being applied. 1)You are absolutely correct, Islam does teach peace and freedom of opinion, however, freedom of opinion/expression has to remain within the confines of the state in which you reside. For instance, if you are in a proper Islamic state you have to go by their laws, if you are in a western state, you have to follow their laws. The Islamic countries have to keep this law since it is told by the Holy Quran. 2)No these Islamic countries have not made up this law, hence no Muslim denies it because they themselves know it exists. 3)Im not sure I understand this question.. please do reply to me with a clearer explanation. 4)Who says non-Islamic countries will become Islamic countries so soon? or ever? It is not like Islam is being spread and Muslims are trying to take over each and every country..... Come on. Just to answer your question though.. if a country does "decide" to become an Islamic country it will definitely have the "death for apostasy" law. No guarantee that it will not. I know to an outsider it might seem very opressive and destructive of the freedom of a person, but when you get to know of the reasoning and conditions of this law it becomes very clear. Remember that Islam is a very "just" religion so every action is counted for. Also, don't just get stuck looking at Islam through this law... It is a very small detail compared to what the whole of Islam actually is.

    True humans have long believed in gods. All were invented. Thor, Amon Ra, Zeus, El, Tlaloc + many thousands of Earth, Rain Fire gods etc. As for the grave, ask yourself before you were born was it any amount of time? did you suffer? NO. When we die we return to this same eternal state. Eternity has nothing to do with time. It is outside to time.Hell, like heaven, is another human concept usually used to install fear. There is not literal place called hell. You can test this by looking for it on google maps. You know there is no Allah. Allah can literally do nothing. Test this by asking this most merciful and passionate god to stop others killing in his name. Surely the greatest insult! Or to heal the sick. It won't literally happen since Allah is no more than a made up ideal like all of mankind gods. I do actually study the Quran / Bible and other religious texts. I agree with you on one point. What we have in common is our humanity. Live now - we are NO TIME dead. As-salamu alaykum

    ***** the way you study is different, there is where the problem arises. Allah leaves murderers to live for reasons incomprehensible to humans, but I can tell you some, Among his 99 names is the forbearer, so He will wait. Number two is that He waits for them to repent. If He were to destroy people immediately after the commit a sin, there would be no one left on earth. That why, among his 99 names is ''The most Merciful''. He makes people sick so that he tests the people who have the financial power to help heal the sick . The way i studied Islam and the way you studied it is way different. We studied the rationales behind every single verse and found its flawless wisdom. That I think is where your problems arise. By the way, I couldn't help but notice you contradicting yourself again. And I quote you, '' You know there is no Allah. Allah can literally do nothing''. The first sentence disprove His existence, the second one approves it but states his incapability.

    I see in the 'About' section that 286 voted that Islam is a religion of peace and 168 voted that Islam is NOT a religion of peace. My understanding is also that this event is one held by the prestigious Oxford University. I see this as evidence that leftists have truly destroyed some if not all of the great educational institutions. Because this 'issue' is not actually a truly debatable one. To be of the opinion that Islam is peaceful is to be completely ignorant of Islam. From it's founding 'prophet' in the 7th century to the current year of 2014, Islam has been and is a religion of violence, murder, rape, oppression, conquest, intolerance, deception, and destruction. There is so much evidence of this that a 'post' is nowhere close to sufficient as a medium to carry this knowledge. Because there are mountains of material evidence that can be brought to bear. I believe the confusion occurs when we hear the cliché that it is just a tiny fringe group of extremists that make Islam look bad. This is the great lie that is allowing Islam to flourish. As I said I don't have near enough space for all the proofs, but ask yourself this question; how often do you see this question debated with the subject being atheism, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, or any other belief system? There is a reason for that........ Want more on the vile filth of Islam? post me back.

Do you know the story of your "prophet" when Aisha showed him the woman who had been beaten so badly by her husband that "her skin is as green as her dress"? Would you like to be the one to share the response of Muhammad in your next post? Do you deny that the Islamic caliphate was built on wars of conquest against the infidel in accordance with the teachings of your "prophet"? Do you deny your religion has the death penalty for apostasy? How do you feel about all the lives lost due to the worldwide riots over cartoons? If you like I can send you some lovely links to Imam describes the proper beating of wives, Qur'an quotes that call for violence, or perhaps you'd like to tell me the penalty in the Islamic state of Iran for "acts of homosexuality? Pedal your disgusting filth elsewhere. Oh and by the way when I set up the links here don't bother telling me that western scholars cannot properly translate the Qur'an. I know it's just another lie the Qur'an tells you to use with infidels.

    Islam is a relgion of good values and peace; the main concept of Islam based on :mercy, peace and forgiveness. As regarding, that there are 100 verses or references In Quran Indicate that Islam is not peaceful religion, that really misconception and totally untrue T have read Quran multiple time with analytical way throughout ten years, I have found out that any mention of using violence was only as a defense "a defensive war " when aggression against Muslims happened at the time of the messenger Mohammad, or else Islam was obliterated at its cradle. As for the narrative saying :"Mohammed commanded to fight people till they Believe", that saying Contradict with Quran verses so that keep to Quran verses and not be confused by the narrative of the extremists who take the Quranic Verses out of the context distorting the message of the peaceful and merciful religion ;Islam. God says : O Mohammad, l have sent you only to be mercy for mankind and other creatures " verse no. 21, Chapter no. 107. Verse no 256 chapter no. 1- says : " No coercion in accepting religion, it is" now the truth (Islam) has been distinguished from false relgion ". Chapter 109 verse no. 6 Say (Muhammad) to disbelievers : " you have your religion and I have my religion " As for women right according to Islam religion they more powerful in Islam than other religions and they accept Islam much more than men, The first person accepted Islam was "his boss" a powerful woman ( Muhammad 's wife ;khadiga) As for chopping hand, flogging This punishment was made difficult To put in force and no longer relevant according to Islam concept. As for stoning, stoning not mentioned in Quran. Quran revealed in Arabic language The words of Quran in itself miracle ;unmatched and unrivaled so that its difficult to translate ; each one word packed with meanings Please read it carefully, more and more!!!!!!!!!

    Peter Singer (one of the world’s leading atheist ideologues) shows that determining sex to be licit on the basis of “consent” also justifies bestiality. Around the year 2000, Singer was criticized for his positive review of a book by Midas Dekkers called Dearest Pet. Dekkers is a popular Dutch intellectual public figure who was initially a biologist. He is known for his particular affection towards animals. Singer was accused of advocating for bestiality as well, because he said that the issue with sex with animals is not so much related to morality but rather cruelty. He argues that if there is no cruelty, a person can take part in “mutually satisfying activities” with their animal.

    ​@@westsideslasha Dude that's like saying "OMG they killed people during war times! How horrible!" These are, as @Dragon_Gaming said, meant for war times. If someone is attacking you you fight back so you don't, uhh, die? Quran 8:12, in its entirety, is "[Remember] when your Lord inspired to the angels, "I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip." We wish to be strong in the face of opposition. Words of encouragement are not signs of a war-mongering religion. "And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." I simply can't believe that you left that last part out. IF THEY REPENT YOU FORGIVE. Such a horrible religion, how could they forgive and release prisoners that apologize? A non-peaceful religion would not have 4 whole months where you are not allowed to be non-peaceful (sacred months). Don' just point at things you have to look at context as well. "Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled." Fight against the non-Muslims in war times, how unexpected. Of course YOU SHOULD FIGHT YOUR ENEMY. If they attack you attack back. "It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion, although they who associate others with Allah dislike it." What kind of religion says it ISN'T the true religion. Christians believe that they are "the" faith. Jews believe THEY are "the" faith. Hindus believe they are "the" faith. Muslims believe they are "the" faith. What's non-peaceful about that? " O Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh upon them. And their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination." Be harsh upon your enemies in wartime, we are not pacifist, we use violence is certain contexts like Mehdi Hasan said. Please, show me more.

The verse is: "That is why We ordained for the Children of Israel that whoever takes a life-unless as a punishment for murder or mischief in the land-it will be as if they killed all of humanity; and whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of humanity". - Muslims love quoting this verse without understanding it. It DOES NOT APPLY TO MUSLIMS. It applies to the 'CHILDREN OF ISRAEL'. The children of Israel are NOT MUSLIMS, they are jews. If you had bothered to read the very next verse (5:33), you'd have seen this peaceful gem: "Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and spread mischief in the land is death, crucifixion, cutting off their hands and feet on opposite sides, or exile from the land." One might ask: 'What does spreading mischief mean?' Well thankfully, the Quran elaborates, in surah 4:89 it says: "They wish you would disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so you may all be alike. So do not take them as allies unless they emigrate in the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them" - so the quran orders the execution of apostates who leave islam and try to convince others to do the same. (2) You same some rubbish about chopping off hands depending on the society we live in. The Quran is supposed to be perfect is it not? So don't tell me following the quran depends on what society you live in. The society you live in does not change the inherent immorality of the quran's commandments.

    The Armenian genocide was not based on religious beliefs, it was a conspiracy by the famously incompetent Enver Pasha to blame the Armenians for his poor military skills. There was a whole propaganda campaign in the Ottoman Empire, accusing the Armenians of conspiring with the Russians to sabotage the Ottomans. That was obviously not true and I would not expect anything else from current and future politicians who follow a Nationalist ideology.

    In Bolivia, a Suez company (Aguas de Illimani) left 200,000 people without access to water and caused a revolt when it tried to charge between $335 and $445 to connect a private home to the water supply. Countless people were unable to afford this charge in a country whose yearly per capita GDP is $915. Unfortunately, the IMF and World Bank are playing a key role in pushing water privatization all over the world. Many countries have been required to open up their water supply to private companies as a condition for receiving IMF loans, and the World Bank has approved millions of dollars in loans for the privatization of water systems.

    You see what you want to see. In our times, it is easier to be fooled by the kind of information that comes to us. It's easier for someone to believe that sikhism is a peaceful religion, because of the acts of the believers. But I am sure that there could be loopholes and some faulty believers too. History speaks for itself. When it comes to religion, all of them are the same: they talk about the same principles and the way of life. Almost all start with the most basic axiom: God is one. So it boils down to how people interpret the teachings and more than that, how well are those interpretations broadcasted.

    Muhammed- The Islamic prophet was a violent warlord. "The Prophet had suddenly attacked Bani Mustaliq without warning while they were heedless and their cattle were being watered at the places of water. Their fighting men were killed and their women and children were taken as captives" (Bukhari 46:717) Although there are many reliable accounts from the Hadith and Sira that mention the Mustaliq grazing cattle, not one mentions Muhammad making any effort at peacemaking. In this case, Muhammad's men raped the women (with his approval) after slaughtering the men (Sahih Muslim 3371). What does raping a female captive have to do with self-defense? In many situations, Muhammad waged war for the purpose of revenge, such as the attack on the Lihyan, in which the people were clearly not prepared for war and saved themselves only by fleeing into the hills (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 718). Muhammad also attacked the people of Taif as soon as he had the opportunity to avenge their rejection of him (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 280 & 872). Also disproving the myth that Muhammad only fought in self-defense is the account of his first attack on the Christians. There was no compelling reason for him to send an army to Muta (in Syria, where they met with disaster at the hands of the Byzantines). Had this been a matter of self-defense, then the enemy would surely have followed the routed army back to Arabia, but this was not the case (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 791). Near the end of his life, the prophet of Islam directed military campaigns for the mere purpose of spreading Islamic rule. He knew that some cities would resist and others would not. He left instructions to his people for dealing with each case: "The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: If you come to a township (which has surrendered without a formal war) and stay therein, you have a share (that will be in the form of an award) in (the properties obtained from) it. If a township disobeys Allah and His Messenger (and actually fights against the Muslims) one-fifth of the booty seized therefrom is for Allah and His Apostle and the rest is for you." (Sahih Muslim 4346) As can be seen, those who were not at war with the Muslims are to be subjugated anyway, and their property seized. The only distinguishing factor is the extent of Muslim entitlement following the victory.

    These are ahadith that you are quoting....they're not even authentic...I don't care if they are considered "sahih". Mohammad even said himself that "no one is to write anything down except the Qur'an." The Qur'an itself warns people to not follow any other narrations (ahadith) except what is in the Qur'an. Of course hadiths displays bloodshed and so forth. Hadiths are fabrications invented by the method of the chinese whisper style. They were created to give power and political stance by using religion as a tool. I'm aware that you didn't use a single Qur'an verse...since of course no one can truly find anything that established the fact that it is teachings of evil. Especially when the Qur'an gives justification why certain tribes had to be destroyed, due to their tyranny and oppression over their own people. Only the righteous and pious people were spared..those that instill good and forbid evil.

    "A good man can select according to their appetite, trouble is that bad man can select accoding to their appetite too" that's just proves free consciousness in Islam. you've killed your whole argument at the beginning 1:25

    No, it proves that Islam isn't a religion of peace, but also a religion of violence. Decent people will reject the worst doctrines of Islam, while awful people will indulge and accept them.

    Point is Islam has no home nor place in a civilized world. It is a book that was made for barbaric tribes of the middles east in the Middle Ages and only applies for that era and time and never in our time.

    I believe that the true essence of a debate is to answer questions where there are doubts, besides the objective of laying down our own point. I disagree with how the opposition is misrepresenting Islam, but that isn't my sole reason behind disliking it. The major reason is their refusal to answer questions, despite the fact that I noticed the woman, as well as Daniel interrupting the first speaker, as well as Mehdi Hassan, to which they both politely and wisely responded. If you cannot back up your arguments with proofs and if you cannot answer questions, due to your 'lack of points' or 'lack of knowledge' in the field, then one should stay away from arguing for or against the point of debate. This is what I believe.
