    Islam has done what Muhammed taught them to do? Islam isn't a group of people. You sound really confused.

    It is a pure myth that Islam was spready by the sword, invented by christians such as yourself as an excuse for the major growth of Islam, because people like you, extremeist christians see it as a threat, that it might take over christianity in numbers (which it is on course to do so).

    Indonesia, the country with the biggest Muslim country, has never had a war in it.

    So now they are killing people by the sword for land or are they converting people by the sword?

    Make your mind up, you can't change history to many times.

    True both religions have had their times of conquest, and if it wasnt for the mountains of lebanon i wouldnt be christian today, but that doesnt make what our soldiers are doing in iraq now right does it?

    Ckrismoney, if Islam was spread by the sword, explain this.

    Muslims ruled Spain for about 800 years. During these 800 years, until Muslims were finally forced out by the crusaders, non-Muslims flourished in Spain. Muslims have ruled Arabia for 1400 years, except for brief periods of British and French rule. Yet there are today 14 million Arabs who are Coptic Christians whose families have been Christians going back several generations.

    The Muslims ruled India for about a thousand years. They had the power to forcibly convert each and every non-Muslim of India to Islam. Today more than 80% of the population of India is non-Muslim. All these non-Muslim Indians are bearing witness to the fact that Islam was not spread by the sword.

    An article in Reader’s Digest ‘Almanac’, year book 1986, gave the statistics of the increase of percentage of the major religions of the world in half a century from 1934 to 1984. This article also appeared in ‘The Plain Truth’ magazine. At the top was Islam, which increased by 235%, and Christianity had increased only by 47%. May one ask, “Which war took place in this century which converted millions of people to Islam?”

    Why don't you answer the question in the post previous to yours? It's a very simple query that tests your premise that Islam is only spread by force.

    I did right here.

    If this isn't enough I'll get more when I have time.

    Just because you don't like my answer don't ignore it.

    I'll dumb down the questions for you so you can understand.

    If Islam was forced by the sword, when spain was ruled by Muslims for 800 years, why are there still non Muslims in spain? Infact, why is it a non Muslim majority?

    If Islam was forced by the sword, who invaded Indoensia to force people to convert?

    Islam is increasing by 235%, and Christianity is increasing by 47%. May one ask, Which war took place in this century which converted millions of people to Islam?

    Terrorism. Jihad. Is the war that's taking place in this century!!! Have you been aware of any of it?
    It's the new way to spread islam. Every idiot who is upset with life and, sees there is a religion that condones killing and lying in it's holy books wants to be a muslim.

    I never said islam was spread only by the sword. I asked where is it that it got there by being nice. And is it still being nice? (Probably not!)

    It sure attracts most of the idiots around my area, so they can say racist stupid stuff and lie and commit crimes because their holy quran says it's cool, as long as its against the white man so they say with happy faces. (such idiots)

    But as far as Spain and any where else, well they never have been able to kill or convert everyone in any place, resistance makes that possible not islams kindness!

    Non muslims were allowed to practice their faith and retain their community by paying the jizya tax.

    The muslim conqurerers of Spain and India were driven out.

    After the conquest of Constantinople/Istanbul only 0.2% are Christians or Jews

    I am aware of the jizya tax, but it has not been imposed universally by all Muslim rulers.

    Not to mention, that jizya is sorta bribe money. Only able bodied men of military age paid it, I assume so that they could forgo military service in addition to practicing their own religion within the relevant kingdoms.
