PS3: Islam never claims to be “the religion of peace;” this phrase was created by Westerners for a variety of reasons, so like what?
As a westerner, I could buy that this is just a piece of propaganda I’ve just heard too many times, but it seems like I’ve heard immigrants from Muslim majority countries say this as well.
Probably a stretch to ask (so no worries if you can’t provide) but can you point to any resources agreeing with your claim on this?
Ok apparently I was wrong. The name was adopted by Western politicians in the wake of 9/11, heavily contributing to its present day (completely undeserved IMO) popularity, but apparently before that it originated and continues to be used for Islamic preaching.
