Myths pushed by Islamic Apologists
Islam Means "Peace"
Islamic apologists sometimes claim that the root word of Islam is "Al-Salaam", which is "peace" in Arabic.
Rebuttal
Arabic words have only one root. The root word in Arabic for Islam is "Al-Silm", which translates to "submission" or "surrender". There is no disagreement among Islamic scholars regarding this.
In Islam, "Peace" can only exist once all non-Muslims have been conquered and subdued. As the modern day Islamic scholar Ibrahim Sulaiman, puts it, "Jihad is not inhumane, despite its necessary violence and bloodshed, its ultimate desire is peace which is protected and enhanced by the rule of law."
Islam Respects Women as "Equals"
Islamic apologists will claim that "The Koran places men and women on equal foundation before Allah and each other. Women have equal rights under Islamic law."
Rebuttal
There are four Koranic verses in which "Allah" says that an Islamic master full sexual access to their female slaves, but there is no verse that prohibits rape.
The Koran gives Islamic men permission to beat their wives for disobeying them, but nowhere does it order that there should be love in a marriage. The verses bluntly state that husbands are a "degree above" their wives. Additionally the Hadith claims that women are "intellectually inferior, and that they comprise the majority of Hell's occupants.
