Islam never spread by the sword
Reader comment on item: Who was the Prophet Muhammad?
in response to reader comment: If Islam was violently spread in indonesia...
Submitted by Muhammad Abdulqaffar (South Africa), Sep 15, 2006 at 14:08
It seems that any non-Muslim who hates Islam because of its truth,compassion and peace will willfully buy the notion that Islam spread by force. Are these people blind or is it that they dont reason?Ask anyone who embrace Islam, the likes of Cat Stevens, Dr.Maurice Bucaille what is it that they found in Islam that they converted;answer?The finally found the Truth which is being given a bad name by so-called scholars who are under the payroll of the mainstream churches.Which Muslim army conquered Somalia,Malaysia,Indonesia & many parts of the world?I tell you to learn history written by people who understood Islam very well. I mean the likes of Thomas Carlyle.
