Omissions in Posting by U.K. Muslim

I agree with many of the things mentioned in the posting of Muslim from U.K. except the following:

Muslim arabs conquered countries from India to Europe killing looting pillaging enslaving and raping their populations but posting failed to mention them.
Muslim Turks did the same to several of it's surrounding countries but were not mentioned.

"There is no compulsion in religion" is an abrogated quranic verse of Mecca when muslims were weak. In Madina when muslims became powerful through looting of caravans and conquering of jewish , pagan and other tribal communities all tolerant, compromising and peaceful ayas were abrogated by rigid,uncompromising and violent ayas (Ref: Quran, Hadeeses, Ibn Ishaq, website "faithfreedom.org")
