TheReligionofPeace.com, commonly known as TROP, is a website dedicated to documenting terrorist attacks carried out in the name of Islam. Launched in the early 2000s, it positions itself as a “non-political, fact-based site” that examines what it describes as the ideological threat Islam poses to human dignity and freedom.
thereligionofpeace.comMission and ContentThe site’s core feature is an extensive, regularly updated list of jihadist attacks worldwide. It tracks incidents since 9/11, breaking them down by year, with summaries of recent “Jihad Reports” showing attack numbers, fatalities, injuries, and countries affected. For example, in late June 2026, it reported 22 attacks killing 79 people across seven countries in a one-week period.
thereligionofpeace.comBeyond the attack database, TROP includes sections on:
- Quranic verses related to violence, women’s rights, apostasy, and other topics.
- Analyses of the life of Muhammad.
- Opinion polls on Muslim attitudes toward Sharia, terrorism, and related issues.
- Articles addressing common arguments, such as “10 Reasons Why Islam is Not a Religion of Peace.”
The site explicitly states its goal is not to target Muslims as individuals but to highlight patterns of violence linked to Islamic doctrine and ideology.
thereligionofpeace.comReception and CriticismTROP has become a polarizing resource. Supporters view it as a valuable archive that mainstream media allegedly underreports, providing raw data for researchers, policymakers, and the public concerned about Islamist extremism. It draws from news sources and claims transparency in its sourcing methodology.
thereligionofpeace.comCritics, including media watchdog sites like Media Bias/Fact Check, rate it as having “extreme right-wing bias” and “low factual reporting,” accusing it of promoting anti-Muslim propaganda and lacking transparency. They argue the selective focus on Islamist violence ignores context, such as geopolitical conflicts, and paints Islam broadly as inherently violent.
mediabiasfactcheck.comThe site maintains a dedicated “Answering the Critics” section, defending its approach as truthful documentation rather than hate speech. (thereligionofpeace.com)
Impact and RelevanceIn an era of ongoing global terrorism concerns—from groups like ISIS affiliates to lone actors—TROP serves as a reference point for those studying patterns of religiously motivated violence. Its data has been cited in discussions on counter-terrorism, immigration policy, and debates over multiculturalism and integration.Whether one sees it as an essential wake-up call or a biased aggregator, The Religion of Peace remains one of the most comprehensive (and debated) independent trackers of attacks committed under the banner of Islam. Visitors can explore its full archives, including historical lists and thematic articles, directly at thereligionofpeace.com.
