I have no doubt there are mosques out there who teach these types of things, although what OP is reporting sounds very scripted and I don't know what to make of that. On the other hand, I also have no doubt some members here could offers some anecdotes about mosques that teach hate.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'll go out on a limb and believe OP and ask what's your point? There's still millions of Muslims that support terrorism. Most people I know are only afraid of them, not all Muslims. None of us need to be convinced that there's peace-loving Muslims. And I lived in North Carolina and Alaska, so it's not just because I live in a liberal state. That view is common throughout the US.
Islam means peace and tells muslims to love ALL human beings regardless of race and religion because all humans came from the same Creator .
That is the message of Islam at it's most basic level.
That is the truth of Allah .
Do not be deceived by claims that Islam means peace. It means submission. Islam has always been a religion of violence.
We have been hearing that Islam is a religion of peace, and in fact that Islam means peace. Both of these assertions are in error. Islam means submission. Check with any good Muslim dictionary and "submission" will be the definition of Islam. Redefining the word Islam is an attempt to deceive people about the real nature of Islam.
The argument is made based upon the idea that the Arabic word salaam means peace. The word "Islam" shares a common root with salaam, therefore Islam means peace also. It is true that Islam and salaam share a common root, but according to the dictionaries, they do not mean the same thing.
According to A Basic Dictionary of Islamic Words by M Zakiuddin Sharfi, Islam means, "Submission or resignation to the will of Allah, completely. He does not define salaam, but does note that one of the ninety-nine attributes of Allah is as-Salam, meaning "The Peaceful One'
A common greeting is Arabic is "as-Salam-u'Alaikum." This means "Peace be upon you." It is easy to see that it is not Islam, but Salam

That is what they teach upstairs near the doorways for the unbelievers to hear, down in the basements and back rooms they are training others for Jihad.
Prove it. Dress like a Muslim and go to different mosques with hidden camera.

The Arabic term "Islam" itself is usually translated as "submission"; submission of desires to the will of God. It comes from the term "aslama", which means "to surrender" or "resign oneself".
The Arabic word salaam (سلام) ("Peace") has the same root as the word Islam. One Islamic interpretation is that individual personal peace is attained by utterly submitting to God.
As in other Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Judaism, etc.), peace is a basic concept in Islamic thought.
The greeting "Salaam alaykum", favored by Muslims, has the literal meaning "Peace be upon you". Muhammad is reported to have said once: "Not one of you believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself." (Great Muslim scholars have said that the words ‘his brother’ mean any person irrespective of faith.)

I already googled that. I saw the first video. It's about the women.
The second video? That's in London.
The OP is about teaching the children about peace and not to judge people.
Try again.
I am serious about telling you to do it. I want to know if what you said is true. Change my mind. I am willing to see the truth.

Islam means peace and that really is the unbiased truth.
In what language? Because in Arabic it means "submission" or "surrender".
Islam is a Religion of Love and Peace
The definition of Islam The root of the word Islam, silm, refers to "making peace, being in a mutually peaceful environment, greetings, rescue, safety, being secure, finding peace, reaching salvation and well being or being far from danger, attaining goodness, comfort and favor, keeping away from troubles and disasters, submitting the self and obeying, respect, being far from wrong.
" The "submitting the self and obeying" here means "submitting to justice and righteousness in order to reach peace and safety and being in a peaceful environment by one's free will."
In fact, salaam and salaamat, mean "to reach salvation," and their rubai form (with four radical letters) aslama means "submitted, became Muslim, and made peace." "Islam" as either a noun or a verb with these meanings is mentioned in many verses in the Qur'an.1 From this perspective, Islam is "submission to God, accepting His authority as well as obeying His orders"; "one's total submission to God and serving only Him"; "embracing the messages of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and abiding by them.
" In this sense, a Muslim is one who is under the peaceful and safe shade of Islam. God wants a Muslim to live in a safe and peaceful environment and to make efforts for the spread and continuity of peace.
Since Islam means living in a peaceful environment that emerges as a result of submission to God, the Qur'an asks that all humanity should embrace silm, that is, peace, and reminds us to avoid following Satan.
As stated in the verse, O you who believe! Come in full submission to God, all of you, (without allowing any discord among you due to worldly reasons), and do not follow in the footsteps of Satan, for indeed he is a manifest enemy to you (seeking to seduce you to rebel against God, with glittering promises) (Qur'an, 2:208), Satan is the enemy of peace.
This verse is followed by a reminder of God's All-Glorious with irresistible might if believers "stumble and fall back" from following God's way to realize peace and agreement.

More Islam apologists just like after every attack the left proceed at defending Islam by comparing it to Christianity.
Lets break down the difference between Christianity and Islam.
Lets compare the founder of Christianity to the founder of Islam. Christianity has civilized its part of the world while Islam is stuck in the 7th century when it was founded. Christ gave humanity the example of a man who would care for the sick and the poor and who would give up his own life for the sake of humanity.
Even if it is all BS it is still the founding story of Christianity and over the ages as Christians work out how to live with each other the result has been an ever improving society.
Islam was founded by a man who was the exact opposite. In fact when Mohammed was ready to be arrested by the civil authorities Mohamed did not surrender and forgive his captors and so to be killers like Christ did. No Mohamed fled the city with his followers and raised an army that spent the next 10 years sacking towns and putting those who would not convert to the sword! See the difference there?
The religion of peace act is wearing thin.
To many of us know the truth and every day we get bigger while the ranks of the ignorant shrink.
PS here is a billboard of facts about the nice founder of islam.

If you have ever lived or been in the Middle East, not on a “Granny Bus Tour” or in the Military you would have learned this. ALL Islamic true believers hate ALL of Western civilization. It does not matter if they are Shia or Sunni.
WE are all considered infidels by both groups, and are doomed to death. If, we continue to buy the disinformation. We are always being manipulated from multiple sources. You will be held “Responsible for your Actions”. Remember: Taqiyya (taqiya, taqiyah, taqiyyah) is a form of Islamic deception. The Quran (16:106 and 3:28) allows Muslims to lie in order to protect themselves or to protect the Muslim community.
Muhammad was a successful cult leader, like a Jim Jones type of person. Everything screams cult with Muhammad, from the women having to wear a headscarf to show they belong to the cult, to having a BORG type of hive-mind when it comes to "non believers". Oh and of course Muhammad was the perfect man who had as many women as he wanted and killed people for making fun of him.
He was a total cult leader who became successful unfortunately.
Sorry you cant handle the facts.

It's still a violent religion as was Judaism and the old testament of the Christian bible.
Two things bring peace to a religion. Time and a "new testament" or savior. Christianity has the new testament and Jesus to save it from the violence of the old testament. You'll notice that historically it was still violent for quite a few centuries and that time has tamed it.
Judaism had Christianity to tame it and make it peaceful and of course time. It is the oldest of these three Abrahamic Religions.
