The comments above ar cry
That's why they're trillions of miles away from us, i doubt if we're going to meet or overtake them.

They're risk takers, they put their lives on the line when it comes to discovery and searching for knowledge.

10. Turkey is poised to be the first predominantly Muslim country to be a member of the European Union and this is partly because of the fact that it is a relatively peaceful country.

However, there are bouts of violence especially between the government and P.K.K. separatists which as turned up a notch recently with the suicide attack that saw a 100 killed in a bomb blast.

It has a 98.5% Muslim population with a secular democratic government.

9. Algeria.



Although Algeria experienced one of the bloodiest anti-colonial struggles against the French in its past, Algeria remains relatively peaceful.

It has a 98% Muslim population.

IslamRe: Why Are These Muslim Countries So Peaceful? by Explorers(op): 11:57am On Apr 09, 2017
8. Bangladesh.




Bangladesh also makes our list.

Considering that it is neighbors with Pakistan which is riddled with insurgent activity, one would think that there would be spillover effects of the violence in Pakistan; however, Bangladesh remains one of the most peaceful Muslim countries with a 98% Muslim population.

IslamRe: Why Are These Muslim Countries So Peaceful? by Explorers(op): 11:54am On Apr 09, 2017
7. Saudi Arabi.



The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia not only has to accommodate a million pilgrims seeking to perform the Hajj every year but it does this rather peacefully.

The country itself is also peaceful and has been with a 97% Sunni Muslim population.

IslamRe: Why Are These Muslim Countries So Peaceful? by Explorers(op): 11:51am On Apr 09, 2017
6. Maldives.



A country with a 98% Sunni Muslim population, in the Maldives, to be a citizen you have to accept Islam.

There was an attempt to overthrow the Government in 1988 but this was thwarted with the intervention of the Indian army but has since lived in relative peace.

IslamRe: Why Are These Muslim Countries So Peaceful? by Explorers(op): 11:48am On Apr 09, 2017
5. Mayotte.



A French island off the coast of southern Africa, Mayotte has a 97% Muslim population.

Members of other religions Christians mostly, live here in peace.

IslamRe: Why Are These Muslim Countries So Peaceful? by Explorers(op): 11:47am On Apr 09, 2017
4. Morocco.



Morocco is another peaceful Muslim country.

It’s population is 99% Sunni Muslim.

Although Morocco has been involved in some conflict such as the first gulf war as part of US led international coalition in response to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, it is comparatively a peaceful country in the Muslim world with no civil violent conflict history.

IslamRe: Why Are These Muslim Countries So Peaceful? by Explorers(op): 11:45am On Apr 09, 2017
3. Jordan.



With a 95% Muslim population mainly of the Sunni sect, however, they have a constitutional monarchial system that grants freedom of religion and generally has a good human rights record and few reports of conflict.

IslamRe: Why Are These Muslim Countries So Peaceful? by Explorers(op): 11:42am On Apr 09, 2017
2. Indonesia.



With a 90% Muslim population Indonesia is the most populous Muslim country in the world.

About 13% of all the Muslims in the world live here and surprisingly, it is a constitutionally secular nation and has had less religious conflicts than any other country in the Muslim world.

IslamRe: Why Are These Muslim Countries So Peaceful? by Explorers(op): 11:40am On Apr 09, 2017
1. Kuwait.




Considering that Kuwait has a sizable tourist population every year.

Kuwait makes our list as one of the most peaceful predominantly Muslim countries.

Another fact that testifies to the peacefulness of Kuwait is that there has never been civil conflict in its history.

IslamWhy Are These Muslim Countries So Peaceful? by Explorers(op):
In the world today, Muslims are seen as terrorists.

They've been linked to about 90% of the bombings, massacre/shootings, kidnapping ever carried out.

But why dont we have suicide bombing or shooting in Quatar or United Arab Emirates.

Turn on the television and pictures of a Muslim country in turmoil and civil strife is likely to flood your screen at some point.



Images of unstable Muslim countries has done much to portray the Islam Community as prone to violence even though the underlying problems in these regions are more or less economic and issues of identity.

In a time when it seems like much of the Muslim world is embroiled in conflict from the Arab Spring to the ISIS agenda, it is perhaps a good time to consider the peaceful Muslim societies.


People believe where there are Muslims, there must be violence.

But here is a list of 10 peaceful Muslim countries in the world.

Science/TechnologyRe: Japanese Scientists Plan To Drill Through Earth's Crust To The Molten Mantle. by Explorers(op): 6:33am On Apr 09, 2017
JAMSTEC researcher Natsue Abe told CNN: 'We don't know the exact (composition) of the mantle yet.

We have only seen some mantle materials.'The rock is very beautiful, it's kind of a yellowish green.

'Researchers hope drilling will start by 2030 and Ms Abe said she is convinced the project will work.

Drilling could take place off Hawaii, Costa Rica or Mexico.

The drilling will be carried out on JAMSTEC's ship Chikyu, which can bore down three times deeper than similar vessels.

The Japanese government also hope the study will help them understand more about earthquakes, as the country is prone to the natural disasters.

In 2016, there were three earthquakes in Japan, measuring between 6.2 and7 in magnitude.

The preliminary surveys will be carried out on JAMSTEC's deep sea research ship Kairei.

The vessel can send out sonic waves to analyse the ocean floor and the structure of the Earth's crust.

Japanese scientists are planning to drill through the Earth's crust to the molten mantle six miles beneath the ocean floor.

Researchers at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology will start their preliminary studies in September off the coast of Hawaii.

It is hoped that scientists will be able to find out more about how the planet was formed and what the mantle is made of.

since the purposed chemical weapon was allegedly used by the white helmets to bring the west into the war..I think POTUS is wrong to have ordered the airstrikes against Syria at this critical moment.. the war is now in 3 fronts.. Russia/Syria, ISIS/rebels and the USA/UK et al..
if this escalate into further actions..its gonna raised many allies for the three parties...which I'm sure will bring massive casualties..let America be neutral in this fight...the Islamic world will turn the tide against them and it'll make American citizens soft targets for terrorist attack...
We just pray this won't get out of hand.

Vladimir Putin has today diverted a warship to protect the Syrian coast and vowed to bolster Bashar al-Assad's missile defences against further US strikes as fears grew the crisis could topple into war between Russia and the West.

The Russian President has immediately sent his Admiral Grigorovich frigate armed with cruise missiles and a self-defence system from the Black Sea to dock in Syria later.

It will pass through the east Mediterranean waters where the USS Ross and USS Porter fired the 59 Tomahawk missiles that pounded Assad'sal-Shayrat military airfield near Homs in the early hours of Friday.

Put intoday called it an 'illegal act of aggression' and also ripped up an agreement to avoid mid-airclashes between Russian and US fighter jets over Syria.





Russian warship the Admiral Grigorovich (pictured on recent deployment) armed with cruise missiles and a self-defence system is docking in Syria today after it was immediately diverted from the Black Sea following Donald Trump's airstrike on al-Shayrat military airfield near Homs, which killed six and destroyed nine Syrian jets.

The cannabis sold in pharmacies will be grown by producers licensed by the state.

'This is not to promote it, but to compete with the informal market,' he said.

The law requires buyers to be aged at least 18-years-of-age and to sign up to a national registry, which Mr Roballo said would be up and running by May 2.

The price will be £1.00 per gram.

Registrants who must be Uruguayan citizens or permanent residents can purchase up to a maximum of 40 grams (1.4 ounces) per month though 10-gram containers are expected to be introduced later.

The country has stockpiled a total of 400 kilograms (882 lb) to be dispensed by pharmacies, an amount that could increase depending on demand, Mr Roballo said.

Sixteen pharmacies have registered with the government of the tiny country, that shares a borders with Argentina and Brazil, to be able to sell marijuana for recreational purposes.

Foreign AffairsUruguay Becomes The First Country In The World To Sell Cannabis In Pharmacies. by Explorers(op): 6:01pm On Apr 07, 2017
Uruguay is set to become the first country in the world to legally sell cannabis for recreational use after the final stages of the three-year processof legalizing the drug was reached.

The new law will authorize pharmacies across the South American nation tobegin selling the substance as of July, presidential aide Juan Andres Roballo told a press conference on Thursday.

The government hopes the formalization process will 'guarantee the quality and the purity of the product,' Mr Roballo added.
