Introduction Apologists for Islam (the word translates as submission or surrender) claim that their religion is one of peace.

Freedom of speech comes with responsibility of what is said and whether or not it is true. Because of a biased movie (Innocence of Muslims), the world of Islam broke into flames, fanned by a Florida preacher and a former movie producer–neither gifted with languages nor knowledge of texts.
