Daily Mail: ISIS leader declares ‘Islam was never a religion of peace. Islam is the religion of fighting’ as he calls on Muslims to ‘fight for the Caliphate’ in new audio message
* Message purportedly from Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, not heard from in months
* Says: 'Islam was never a religion of peace. Islam is the religion of fighting'
* Ancient city of Palmyra, a world heritage site, under threat of destruction given ISIS vandalised treasures of Nimrud and Hatra in Iraq
* Extremists now barely a mile from gates of ancient world cultural centre
The leader of Islamic State has declared 'Islam is the religion of fighting' in a rare audio message which called on all Muslims to 'fight for the caliphate'.
Islamic State released the message yesterday claiming it was from its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as the extremist group executed 26 civilians before reaching the gates of an ancient Syrian city amid fears they could destroy it.
The audio message posted on militant websites features a voice that sounds like al-Baghdadi's exhorting all Muslims to take up arms and fight on behalf of the group's self-styled caliphate.
In it the leader, who had not been seen or heard from in months, said: 'Islam was never a religion of peace. Islam is the religion of fighting. No one should believe that the war that we are waging is the war of the Islamic State.'

You can add politicians like David Cameron and pretty much any PC politician currently serving, along with the media, to that list that proclaim Islam as a 'peaceful' religion.
Although I hold firm that there is no such thing as a peaceful religion.
