My dear Sohail (RYA) you wrote the above nonsesne that "Islam did not spread by the sword.".

Well, let us see: in Qur'an 9:5 aw ayat al-saif Allah aw Abul Qasim yaqool: "iqtoloo al-mushrikeen" oh I forgot that you know no Arabic. Kill the polytheists blah blah blah unless they convert to Islam!

And the poor pagans of Mecca had two choices:

1. Convert to the religion of Abul Qasim aka Islam.

2. Or be killed by the sword.

And they converted to Islam and I do not blame them. So much for your silly comment about "Islam was not spread by the sword."

I feel sorry for your ancestors that were brutalized by Islam Mahmud of Ghazni and all. Shame.

PS: Did you have the time to find what the Arabic word Naik the last name of Zakir Naik really mean?
