Dear Hrishi..Its a misconception that Islam has spread with sword..Muslims ruled India for abt 1000 yrs...and if they had wished they wud have used force to convert all hindus into muslims..Today india has more than 80% non-muslim population..wo are bearing witness that Islam in india was not spread by swordand in the present generation...In US and UK, Islam is the fastest growing religion..?? I would like to ask you..Anybody using sword these days??
