I am talking about the early periods of Islam. Off course, there can be some mistakes committed by some of its followers. But it is unfair to generalize. Even during the period of Muslim rule of Spain and other parts of Europe no body was forced to convert to Islam. Rather, Islam taught them what civilization is when most of the Europe was living in its dark ages. It is widely accepted fact among the historians that during the Muslim rule of Spain, it reached to the peak of its prosperity. Please feel free to learn about Islam without any pre-judgements and dont judge on its faith only by the deeds of some of its followers.
