Global Peace – An Islamic Perspective ACET– Global Peace Project
Despite this common call for compassion and kindness, conflicts stemming from religion and
religious ideology are growing in various areas of the world today.
In the next section, we focus on Islam, the religion that has been most often associated with
conflict in our world today. The fundamental teachings of Islam will be outlined, before the
religion’s messages about living in peace and harmony are explored in more depth. Through
these explanations, we hope to demonstrate that true Islam is equally as peaceful and
harmonious as other religions, and that the use of this religion as a claimed justification for
violence is at odds with its core teachings.
