和平宗教

和平宗教（英語：religion of peace），是一個在政治上用以解釋伊斯蘭教的新詞。在2001年九一一襲擊事件發生後，一些諸如馬來西亞第四任首相馬哈迪·穆罕默德在內的政治家為了將溫和的穆斯林與伊斯蘭恐怖分子區別開來而將伊斯蘭教描述為「和平宗教」。^[1]在阿拉伯語中，「伊斯蘭」一詞與意為「和平」的詞語「薩拉姆（英語：Salaam）」（音譯，另譯「色蘭」）在詞源學上有關聯。^[2]

使用

過去，「和平宗教」的表述適用於基督教。^[3]

2001年9月，在九一一襲擊事件發生後，美國總統喬治·W·布什談到：「恐怖的一面不是真正的伊斯蘭信仰。這不是伊斯蘭教所關心的。伊斯蘭教是和平的。這些恐怖分子並不代表和平。他們代表邪惡與戰爭。」^[4]該論點引起了一些人的批評^[5]，2002年美國福音派新教領袖的民意調查顯示只有10%的人同意布什將伊斯蘭視為和平代名詞的說法。^[6]

馬來西亞前首相馬哈迪·穆罕默德在2002年談到：「正如我所說的那樣，伊斯蘭教是一個和平的宗教。然而，幾個世紀以來，偏離伊斯蘭教真正教義的行為時有發生。因此，儘管他們的教義禁止殺戮特別是對無辜人民的殺戮，但（所謂的）穆斯林還是在進行着殺戮。 ^[7]

巴黎大清真寺穆夫提達利勒·博巴克爾（英語：Dalil Boubakeur）在2006年談到：「先知沒有創立一個恐怖主義的宗教，而是一個和平的宗教。」^[8]

批判

謝爾曼·傑克遜（英語：Sherman Jackson）認為，西方政客關於伊斯蘭教是和平宗教的評論是對政治正確性的嘗試。然而，傑克遜聲稱，這一表達並不意味着拒絕伊斯蘭的暴力行為（英語：Islam and violence），而是承認與非穆斯林和平共存（英語：peaceful coexistence）。^[9]

「和平宗教」這一術語也被伊斯蘭教批判者（英語：Criticism of Islam）使用，例如右翼評論家安·庫爾特。^[10]哲學家與新無神論作家山姆·哈里斯寫道：「穆斯林社區面對所有挑釁的立場幾乎都是：伊斯蘭教是和平的宗教，如果你說不是，我們就會殺了你。」^[11]

2005年，在被記者問及伊斯蘭教是否是和平宗教時，本篤十六世提到伊斯蘭教的一些因素可以促成和平，但也有其他的因素。 ^[12]

有影響力的伊斯蘭主義者賽義德·庫特布寫道，伊斯蘭教在所有人類順從於安拉的意義上是和平的宗教。^[13]

2015年5月13日，伊斯蘭國發佈了阿布·貝克爾·巴格達迪的談話錄音，他聲稱伊斯蘭教不是和平的宗教，而是鬥爭的宗教。 ^[14]
