''Religion of Peace'' is a political neologism used as a description of Islam. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, some politicians described Islam as a "religion of peace" in an effort to differentiate between Islamic terrorists, Islamism, and non-violent Muslims.〔〔 (writing about a debate with Jalal Abualrub)〕〔 == History of the term == The Arabic term ''Islam'' (إسلام) is derived from ''aslama'', which means "to surrender" or "resign oneself". The Arabic word ''salaam'' (سلام) ("peace") shares the same consonantal root (s-l-m) with the words ''Islam'' and ''Muslim''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Online Etymology Dictionary )〕 Muslims who are keen to emphasise their rejection of violence have used the phrase "a religion of peace" as a description of Islam, like Dalil Boubakeur, ''mufti'' of the Paris Mosque, who said in 2006, "The prophet did not found a terrorist religion, but a religion of peace." After the 7/7 London bombings, some Muslims in the West increased their efforts to present Islam as a peaceful religion. Mahathir bin Mohamad, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia said in 2002, In September 2001, in the wake of the September 11 attacks, U.S. President George W. Bush publicly endorsed the view that that "Islam is peace": This prompted criticism from some quarters and a poll of United States Evangelical Protestant leaders taken in 2002 revealed that only 10% agreed with Bush that Islam was synonymous with peace. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Religion of Peace」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
