What is the principle of ahimsa?
"Ahimsa" is a term meaning to do no harm (literally: the avoidance of violence - himsa). It is a Sankrit word. On a very superficial level (or for the lay-man), it is defined as a policy of not hurting anyone or anything in our environment.
However, going on a deeper level, the concept of Ahimsa is much more subtle in nature. Ahimsa is a concept that has to be understood at three levels, which are as follows:-
1. The first level is physical. That is, we should not hurt anyone or anything in our environment purposely. This includes not only humans, but animals & insect kingdom too. We are to ABSTAIN from harming or hurting anything.
2. The second level of Ahimsa is concerning our intention. We should abstain from intending anything harm. That is, our intention, (though not directly but even indirectly), should not be directed towards harming any person or thing. That is by way of rumors, backbiting, negative politics etc.
3. The third level is of thought. This is most subtle level. The philosophy says that even accidentally, we should not have a negative thought about any person or thing.
All the 3 levels are connected to each other.
This is because as per the Ahimsa philosophy, any action, initiates from firstly thought, then the thought becomes more concrete with intention & finally it leads to action, when opportunity arises.
Hence, Ahimsa is abstaining from doing harm to any person or thing in thought, form (intention) & action.
'Mahavir' who was the respective leader of Jainism sect (religion) made the concept of Ahimsa popular. Jainism is based on some principles, among which the most prominent (though others too are important) is Ahimsa.
To some extent, Buddhism too, followed this philosophy of Ahimsa, but they took the middle path. That is Buddhism did not go to the extent as Jainism, which forbade even the killing of harmful insects like mosquitoes.
Both the religions believed that only by following Ahimsa, could we have a pure mind leading to effective meditation & godly thoughts.
Well I know alot of people have second thoughts and doubts about marriage, but I think when you find the person you are meant for then there will be no doubt about whether or not to marry them. Some people take marriage too lighty, but when you marry someone you should be willing to give them everything and vice versa. Marriage is not 50/50 it should be 100/100. If both partners gave 100% percent of themselves to their marriage then I think there would be less divorce. So, if this isn't something that you and your partner are willing to do then you should think really hard before taking the next step.
Moslems believe that there is only 1 God and there is life after death and rightious people who believe these will go to Heaven. Here unity is the "oneness" of God, the most high. None equals him. He is the creator and sustainer of everything. He does not sleep, he does not get tired. He knows everything. And so on... If this concept helps Islam to grow it is probably because it is a simple, straightforward doctrine that is easy to understand and easily makes sense from a spiritual perspective.
How does the world seek peace compared to Christians?
Christians are part of the world, so when we say the world seeks peace, this must include many Christians.

It is impossible to provide a solution that will hold for all time in regards to any human situation, let alone one as complex as the Sunni-Shiite Conflict. The Divisions between Sunnis and Shiites have persisted for the same reason that the divisions between Catholics and Orthodox Christians have persisted. Once a religious sectarian division comes into existence it is impossible to theologically heal it unless at least one side concedes that its position on the theological issues that the two sects disagree on is wrong.
However, since Catholics and Orthodox Christians have stopped killing each other and cursing each other as heretics for the last 400 years or so, it begs the question as two why Sunnis and Shiites continue to do this. (Note that the majority of Sunnis and Shiites do not feel this way, but a large vocal minority in each camp still do.) There are several reasons for this animosity, all of which must be overcome for a genuine, peaceful relationship to form.
1) Historical Grievances: The primary reason this division persists is that there has never been an atonement by either side for the pain and persecution that it has suffered when the other was in power over a given territory. Although, Shiites endured more persecution at the hands of Sunnis than the reverse, this is not to say that Sunnis have not endured persecution at Shiite hands. Both groups remain defiant that since they have the moral high-ground as granted from their faith, their actions in repressing the other sect, torturing its adherents, and murdering its leaders was progress towards removing the heresy. Compare this to the Catholics, who have apologized for the Rape of Byzantium, which was huge historical grievance between them and the Orthodox.
2) Ethnic Identities: In many countries, especially Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon, people identify "ethnically" by their sect of religion. Therefore saying somebody is Shiite in Iraq is similar to how people view being Irish-American or Japanese-American in the United States. It marks you socially and it determines who your friends are, who you marry, what jobs you take, who you love, who you despise, etc. As a result, whenever conflict has broken out, each religious group comes together to defend its people's interests. This results in political and social hatred of the other religion in addition to any theological issues.
3) Rumors of the Other's Theology: Some Sunnis think that Shiites are deluded into believing that 'Ali was a second prophet, which would violate Muhammad being the final capstone of the Prophets, a huge theological issue. Some Shiites believe that Sunnis were paid off to accept the three Rightly-Guided Caliphs before 'Ali and that Sunni Islam was therefore corrupt and ineligible to continue the Islamic tradition. Both have alleged the other was deceived by Jews, which says more about how Muslims view Jews than each other. Of course, both of these are mis-characterizations of the actual theologies of these two sects, but the point remains that as long as these problematic rumors exist, the two sides cannot reconcile.
4) Approaches to Government: Ever since the abolition of the Caliphate in 1936, Sunni Islam has been leaderless and there has come to be an understanding that religion does not participate in actual governance. (This is not a separation of church and state since the two can cooperate closely, but this prevents direct theocracy.) Shiites, on the other hand, have religious leaders called Ayatollahs who do attempt to have terrestrial authority and in Iran have actually achieved it.
How do religious organisations campaign in a non-violent way for world peace?
Jehovah's Witnesses as a religious organization trains all its members to visit people in their homes. The focus of our house-to-house ministry is to help people learn Jehovah's ways of peace. People receive one-on-one help in learning Jehovah's righteous standards. This includes how to get along with other people; how to resolve problems between people. We teach others what 'love' is really all about, from a Bible's standpoint. In fact, Jehovah's Witnesses are known for having overcome racial, social, and economic prejudices. We teach people about 'learning war - no more'.
We've come so far, that when we meet people who've lost loved ones in war; we can assure them that it was none of Jehovah's Witnesses who dropped the bomb or fired the bullet. It could have been one of their own religious brothers who fired the bullet that killed their loved one. Because in the World Wars, Catholics killed Catholics, Lutherans killed Lutherans; Baptists killed Baptists; etc etc. In other conflicts, Buddhists killed Buddhists, etc. Only Jehovah's Witness as a religious group come off with a clean slate.
Unlike other religious governing bodies, we have a governing body that has accomplished the impossible in this war-infested world. We have already accomplished PEACE among ourselves, and towards other people. Of course we realize that it's only been with Jehovah's blessing.

What was the date that countries of the United Nations met to discuss a peace organization?
The UN was formed out of the Council of Foreign Affairs (CFR).
CFR and UN were both created with the single intention to enslave mankind, and are doing a very good job.
On 24 October 1945, the founding members of the UN signed the Charter, giving the organization its framework.
It is important to note The Rockafellar Family Trust donated all most all the funds and the multimillion dollar property that is to this day the organisation's New York Headquarters.

I Hear By Pledg My Eternal Allegiance to Good, Evil must be defeated, and we will succeed
Answer 1
Islam is never a violent religion. Islam calls for peace and justice and good morals. If Islam calls for defending your lands and properties (called military Jihad) it does not mean violence. If Islam calls Muslims to struggle within themselves to be in the right path of God and not to commit sins, it does not mean violence, Islam calls for peace and tolerance and forgiveness.
Western media and politicians propagate false ideas about Islam to have control over Muslim countries and to resist the Islam religion propagation through convert of non Muslims to Islam.
Answer 2
Let me make it clear that the overwhelming majority of Muslims and the majority of Islamic leaders do not promote violence. However, this question is not asking about those people, but for leaders and organizations who are devout Muslims and who do advocate for violence. Some examples include:
- Ayatollah Khamanei who advocated for violence against Iranian Mossavi Protesters across Iran and demands the mass slaughter of Jews in Israel.
- Ayatollah Khomeini who called the Iran-Iraq War a "holy mission" for Muslims to devote themselves. (Note: he could have easily justified his war on political grounds, but chose not to, appealing to his religious faith.)
- The Taliban repressed women and brutally tortured their opponents, believing that they had the right to implement the harshest forms of human indecency because of their religion.
- Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah, an Iraqi Ayatollah claimed that suicide bombers that kill civilians are blessed by God and therefore do not need an Imam to bless their errand.
- The Saudi chief of Islamic Affairs (Sheikh Saleh Al-Sheikh) also claimed that suicide bombers were martyrs for God's causes.
- Anjem Choudary, leader of the now-banned British Islamist organization Al-Muhajiroon, claimed it is an "obligation upon Muslims everywhere to support the Jihad against those who fight Muslims anywhere in the world or who occupy Muslim land".

What is the International Peace Garden?
The International Peace Garden is a 3.65 mile² (9.46 km²) park located on the border between Canada and the United States, in the state of North Dakota and the province of Manitoba. Established on July 14, 1932, the park plants over 150,000 flowers each year. Main features of the garden include an 18 foot (5.5 m) floral clock display, fountains, a chime, and twin 120 foot (37 m) concrete towers straddling the border with a peace chapel at their base. The chapel walls are inscribed with notable quotes about peace.
The International Peace Garden is part of an esoteric grid system that connects together geographic features of the Earth, the pyramids in Egypt, monuments in Washington DC, the Peace Pyramid of Astana Kazakhstan, 911 terrorist attacks, the Freemasons, and more. The garden is built on the top of the Turtle mountains and there is evidence that this spot has been valued by people long before the garden was built.

Answer 1
Islam is not a violent religion. Refer to related questions below.
- Islam is not a violent religion. Some think that because a faction of extremist terrorists act in the name of Islam that this religion is a violent one. In fact, it is actually a peaceful religion. Small numbers of violent extremists make the religion look bad. Terrorists don't have the right idea of Islam.
- No, Islam is not a violent religion as a whole. The Qur'an teaches that all human life is sacred and although you should try to bring peoplethe message of Islam, you should do it in a non-violent way. Islam is derived from the Arabic root "salema": peace, purity, submission and obedience.
- Islam may not be a violent religion per se; however it is breeding terrorist extremism through the teachings of some of its respected clerics. The frequent claims that it is "just a few" or that "these people do not represent true followers of Islam" does not lift responsibility from the religion. Islam has bred this serious and deadly misconception by one means or another and must take a strong role in ending terrorism in its teachings. It will happen in the end, but could happen a whole lot sooner with direct intervention from the Islamic community worldwide.[Hint on this paragraph: There are terrorists of other religion followers and even more than Islam followers. however, no one says that their relevant religions are responsible of their actions. Recall the massacres that happened to Muslims by Christians in Spain and Jerusalem in early history. Recall the massacres that happened to Muslims by Christians in Bosnia. Recall the Massacres that happened to Muslims in Chechen by Russians and in Gaza (Palestine territories) by Israelis and in other parts of the world. It is the media and politicians that exaggerating these issues against Islam to get control of Islamic countries and to execute their political Agendas. Is there any Muslim army in any non Muslim Country? compare with how many non Muslim armies in Islamic countries and judge honestly what they doing].

Of all things a person can find in this world Religion is the worst......
Answer 3
Islam is violent because it has verses calling for violence in the Qur'an. The peaceful verses are abrogated by the more violent verses in the Qur'an. Therefore if you are told that Islam is a peaceful religion it is false!. If you read the Qur'an, Hadiths, and Sunnah you will see that Mohammad called for all the Jews to be exterminated and non believers to be killed if they did not accept Islam. Apostasy is a deadly sin in Islam and carries that death penalty by stoning IAW hadiths. Read and you will understand. Some Qur'anic verses have been provided below for more context:
"And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers." -- 2:191
"O you who have believed, fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them find in you harshness. And know that Allah is with the righteous." -- 9:123
"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." -- 9:5
"Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable." Koran 3:85
"The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them."... Koran 9:30
"Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam" Koran 5:33
"Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies." Koran 22:19
"The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them." Koran 8:65
"Muslims must not take the infidels as friends." Koran 3:28
"Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur'an." Koran 8:12
"Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels." Koran 8:60
9:112 "The Believers fight in Allah's cause; they slay and are slain, kill and are killed."
8:39 "So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world)."
8:65 "O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there are a hundred then they will slaughter a thousand unbelievers, for the infidels are a people devoid of understanding."
9:38 "Believers, what is the matter with you, that when you are asked to go forth and fight in Allah's Cause you cling to the earth? Do you prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? Unless you go forth, He will afflict and punish you with a painful doom, and put others in your place."
47:4 "When you clash with the unbelieving Infidels in battle (fighting Jihad in Allah's Cause), smite their necks until you overpower them, killing and wounding many of them. At length, when you have thoroughly subdued them, bind them firmly, making (them) captives. Thereafter, either generosity or ransom (them based upon what benefits Islam) until the war lays down its burdens. Thus are you commanded by Allah to continue carrying out Jihad against the unbelieving infidels until they submit to Islam."
Answer 4
All closed religions have violent histories on the part of some followers (closed religions are those who lay proprietary claim to one God; open religions recognize and accept other religious beliefs as valid, so are perhaps less prone to proselytize by the sword. Hence, for example, Islam and Christianity are closed; Buddhism is open). Christians have had millenia of experience killing non-Christians, and even their own in the name of the Holy Trinity. No one religion has a monopoly on violence. Conversely, all such religions have followers who do not espouse violence, so the question is not phrased well. It's important to understand that neither side constitutes a complete definition of the religion. Are there violent elements in the followers of Islam? Yes. Are there peace-loving Muslims? Yes. The same is true of of Christianity and Christians. The fact of being "closed" is in itself an invitation to argument ("My god is bigger than your god, and no, they are not the same"), and the argument tends to be engaged by the most intense adherents, so violence from some quarter is an inevitable consequence of the marriage between that kind of religious dogma and our baser human nature.
Answer 5
No. Peace Love Islamic. In fact Islam is really a peaceful religion but those who accuse it of violence are either liars or ignorant of its beautiful truth.
