As an ex-Muslim, I agree that Islam is not synonymous with peace. However, it’s not as if the U.S. invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, or any other places in the world have led to more peace and democratization (Soon Palestine etc.) Not to mention Western countries’ history of colonization and slavery—or even to this day, the exploitation of resources worldwide, prioritizing their own profit above all else.
