Trick question.
Islamic meaning of peace: As almost every account of Islam will explain, the word Islam (self-surrender) derives from the same root as salam (peace). In its self-definition Islam is primarily a "religion of peace." The problem consists not in the idea of peace as a good, but in the means deployed to achieve it. In the Quranic discourse, as in the legal formulations derived from the Quran and the Prophet's traditions, the very notion of peace is conditional on the acknowledgment of the Islamic idea of God.

In other words, Islamic "peace" means subjugation to Allah and the violent and barbaric laws of Islam and Sharia.
In contrast.....

Islamic "peace" includes rape, beastiality, pedophilia, murder and thievery.
Western "peaced" includes tranquility and quiet.
See the difference?
So... the word "peace" with two such far ranging and opposite meanings, results in this question being... impossible to interpret for ALL, much less answer accurately.

Sharia finance is being practiced in our own banks. Sharia finance siphons off some of the profits for 'cleansing' and sends it to Islamic charity which sends it to Hamas and other terrorist organizations. CAIR and unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trials and prosecution is welcomed into the FBI, CIA, State dept. Pentagon and White House to council our leaders and protectors in how to work with Muslims and Islam. CAIR has been the filter which approves what is in our grade-school kids text-books about Islam. Sheiks teach in their Madrases they will destroy America 'the GREAT SATAN' Islamic regimes run jihad programming on state run TV for kids as young as kindergarten complete with marching and military drills and drumming into their heads the virtue of dying for jihad. The liberals join Islamists on the street in protest against America and repeat the jihadi's call to arms "Allahu ackbar" being tra...

The liberals join Islamists on the street in protest against America and repeat the jihadi's call to arms "Allahu ackbar" being translated incorrectly on the news as Allah is great. What it actually translates into is "Allah is greatER" Their Qu'ran and the traditions of Mohammad called the Hadith, wreak of hate and death threats against the Kafir or unbelievers. This is not a misunderstanding of culture, this is a value system that lauds death and destruction and rule by the sword and intimidation over it's own people much less that of foreigners. Now, does that sound like a religion of peace?!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ask the women .. girls .. who are raped, tortured, acid attacked, murdered by their own family members too ..
Anyhow, from all I've seen of Islam..peace would be the last thing it is about.
I was addressing the larger issue namely the fact that Islam has been around since 632AD and in particular the theological questions within Islam. Yes I totally ignored the fact that the CIA wasn't founded until 1948 ( the same law also Established both the US Air Force and the National Security Agency, too) since Islam has been around longer than the CIA
As for your comment " There are a lot of things that have been around longer than the CIA, but that doesn't mean the CIA doesn't influence them in any way." it is exactly the same type of thinking the British and the French imperalist thinking they could CONTROL Islam. For example, T.E. Lawrence was sent into Arabia promising the Arabs a "homeland free of British influence" at the sametime they issued the Balfour Declaration promising the Jews a "homeland in Palestine". Controling and influencing a native religion by an outside government is much easier said than done.......just simply read your Bible/Torah how it worked for the ancient Romans in Judah against the Jews and Christians.
Speaking of the Bible. Zionists today control a large segment of what is called "Christianity." In this instance, I'm referring to the "fundamentalist Christians" or "Millenialists," who have been influenced by the Scofield "bible" and now seek the early kingdom sought by the Pharisees. Few of these "Christians" realize that the reason those priests and scribes of old rejected Jesus as the Messiah was because he said his was a spiritual kingdom. They wanted an earthly kingdom. Now, influenced by Scofield who himself was influenced by New York Zionists, these "Christians" are seeking the earthly kingdom of the Pharisees rather than the heavenly kingdom promised by Jesus. So religions most definitely can be influenced by outside sources.
