Bismillah:
Quote:If you're going to tell me that these are bad Muslims,
No am not going to say that they are bad, but I can loudly say that they are wrong… The Muslims never forced anyone to accept Islam, after the conquest of Mecca, the Prophet Muhammad pbuh addressed its people saying <b>"GO YOU ARE FREE"</b>, and he did not force anyone to accept Islam although he had the power to do so, but he can never do such thing because he is under the command of his Lord that “Let him who will believe and let him who will reject (it)
Qur’an 18:129 and also “will you then compel mankind against their will to believe?
Qur’an 10:99, and “if they turn away, We have not sent you as a guard over them, your duty is to convey (the message)
Qur’an 42:48
So as you can see the Qur’an clearly prohibits forcing anyone to follow the faith of Islam and the <b>Prophet Muhammad pbuh and his companions were the best who followed the teaching of the Qur’an.</b>
Also, the Muslims never forced a Jew or a Christian to embrace Islam, Omar Ibn Al Khattab, the second caliph of Islam, assured the people of Jerusalem that <b>their lives, their churches, and their crosses would not be harmed on account of his faith. </b>
The webstie you have posted is an Islamic, I do agree, but I don’t agree with their view at all, and most Muslims will never agree. To get this picture right, listen to what Non Muslims said about this topic, <b>honest Non Muslims who have no reason to lie.</b>
<b>Sigrid Hunke</b> said in her book Allah is completely different?
Quote:“The tolerance of the Arabs played an important role in the spreading of Islam, contrary to what has been falsely claimed that it was spread by fire and the sword, which is an unjust and unverified accusation against Islam”
She also said in the same book that
Quote: “Jews, Sabians, and Pagans embraced Islam of their own free will”
It is well known fact that Muslims armies never invaded South Asia or West Africa, yet Islam spread and flourished in these countries after Muslims merchants traveled with their merchandise to these countries.
So spreading Islam at the point of the sword is <b>the most absurd myth that ignorant and the enemy of Islam have ever repeated.</b>

Wael.
