My dear akbar rabina yukabirak akthar wa akthar.

So you want an example of Islam being spread by the word?

Well, let me see how about the case of the pagans of Mecca?

In the infamous ayat al-saif ... your Allah or is it Abul Qasim aka Muhammad declares to "iqtoloo al-mushrikeen" unless they convert to Islam!

Well, the poor pagans of Mecca that had no like for Abul Qasim and his Islam had to convert to Islam and I do not blame them.

So my dear Akbar: would this count as evidence of Islam being spread by the word?

A yes or no answer will do.
