Islam is just

Dear Phil,

If you look at the history during the time of the Prophet Mohamed peace be upon him. The Arabs were way behind and the whole world was a mess. Tribes all over the world and around the mediteranian were fighting all the time. Many parts of the world today became muslim with peace. Can you tell me how islam spread all the way to Yemen, Ethiopia, Somalia, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, India, Africa.. It was never by the sword it was by muslim traders.

Other places were governed by the sword such as around the mediteranian then the sword was used when necessary and for protection. Jews still live in Muslim countries till today. Christians still live in Arabic countries till now as a matter of a fact Arab Christians love the khaliphs because they are just, they used to name thier kids Omar in respect for the khalif Omar blessing be upon him. Europian Muslims were forced to become christians by the sword during the crusade in spain and such.

If you think about the justice Islam brought to the world and stop listening to the media here in the US and around the world you will see for yourself. Trust me Islam was highjacked by people to satisfy thier own wills. The Quran says in which it means if you kill a soul is just like you killed the whole world. Have you or any one reading this tried to Read the Translation of the Holly Quran. I hope you try. Please when you read it read it to try to understand it not to pick on half sentences. go to www.islamway.com the english version will answer many questions for you.

Thank you and Peace
