Does the word Islam mean peace ?'
An Arabic word only has one root. The root word for Islam is “al-Silm,” which means “submission” or “surrender.” There is no disagreement about this among Islamic scholars. al-Silm (submission) does not mean the same thing as al-Salaam (peace), otherwise they would be the same word.
Submission and peace can be very different concepts, even if a form of peace is often brought about through forcing others into submission. As the modern-day Islamic scholar, Ibrahim Sulaiman, puts it, "Jihad is not inhumane, despite its necessary violence and bloodshed, its ultimate desire is peace which is protected and enhanced by the rule of law."
In truth, the Quran not only calls Muslims to submit to Allah, it also commands them to subdue people of other religions until they are in a full state of submission to Islamic rule. This has inspired the aggressive history of Islam and its success in conquering other cultures.

After a 3 hour statement Boris Johnson finally left the House of Commons. Remoaners thought they could humiliate him but they have utterly underestimated his determination to get Brexit done.

John Sweeney is an absolute embarrassing imbecile of a journalist, using clips of Tommy Robinson that are already in the public domain and editing them together in an inane attempt to discredit him, how the BBC, which is supposed to be a respected worldwide cooperation hired him for so long shows how your t.v. licence money is being wasted.

Today is Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year in Judaism, when Jews fast for more than 24 hours, seeking atonement, yet in the supposed liberal Western nation of Germany, gunmen have opened fire on worshippers, killing at least 2 at the time of typing this, before heading to a Jewish cemetery and throwing grenades, is this progressive?
