So then you see that it is not Islam that is violent, but some members of Islam? That's what I've been saying. It's good to agree.
Ustwo, you can't spread a religon by the sword. Faith comes through acceptance, and how willing are people going to be accepting faith in their hearts with a knife at their throat? It simply doesn't make sense. Where do you get this idea that Islam is a religon that spreads through violence? Have you read the Qu'ran? Do you know any Arab Muslims?

I never said the religion was peaceful, if it were Muhammad would not have clearly said to go and conquor people.
And conversion by the blade? That's not quite what they did. It was convert or be slightly better than a slave. If it was convert or die there would be no Christians or Jews in the region left. That, however, is what their religion has been turned into.
