Islam is a religion of war originally

From the very beginning Islam spread itself by waging war. In contrast originally Christianity spread itself by convincing people peacefully. Crusades were a later distortion of Christianity while Jihad was the original way of Islam. You contradict your own prophet Muhammed who led an army and spread Islam by war. So You are not a true Muslim my brother.
