Was Islam spread by the sword?

[outhouse]

There is no need to it.

Yes there is. Your opinion has no credibility. We want sources to substantiate your claims.

Quran informs

Yes it also contains mythology academia knows was copied from bible.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_mythology

Islam incorporates many Biblical events and heroes into its own mythology

 

[McBell]

There is no need to it. Quran informs everything needed for this life and the hereafter. History is not 100 % correct, one may read and respond to post #76 about history and historians.

What does the Koran say about cars?
What does the Koran say about cloning?

Was Islam spread by the sword?
No.
For example:
Spread of Islam in Cayman Islands :

Cayman Islands
British Overseas Territory
The Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory, encompasses 3 islands in the western Caribbean Sea. Grand Cayman, the largest island, is known for its beach resorts and varied scuba diving and snorkelling sites. Cayman Brac is popular for deep-sea fishing of tuna, marlin and barracuda. Little Cayman, the smallest island, is home to diverse wildlife, from rock iguanas to red-footed boobies

Islamic Society of the Cayman Islands
Muslims in Cayman Island
Activities of Muslins in the Cayman Islands

The activities organized by the Islamic Society of the Cayman Islands cater for all Muslims on the Island, residents as well as visitors. Visit our Activitiespage to learn more about our activities.

I would like to give here Post #76 in another thread by our friend Skwim

,for convenience of our friends here:

"Thing is, only a very, very small handful of historians are eye-witnesses. Reputable historians take information from as many sources as they can or deem necessary, and then present their information as provisional conclusions ---the unstated provisional aspect is expected to understood by the reader, just as conclusions by scientists always come with the unstated, but implicit, qualification that they are not absolute facts No reputable historian would ever claim all their conclusions are absolutely, 100% factual, particularly those involving the particulars of an event. It's not how they work. So, in a very real sense the conjectures of historians are opinions. Some based on damn good evidence, and some on hardly any evidence at all. Moreover, pronouncements about history don't gain any more validity if made part of the public record than if they lay unseen and gathering dust on the the historian's closet shelf."​

Please
Regards

And the koran was not eyewitness to anything in history, nor the people who wrote it.


Your own sources say bloodshed was spilled in spreading islam

 

[outhouse]

I don't see any sword in spread of Islam in Cayman Islands . Do you see any?

Please correct me if I am wrong.

There are almost NO MUSLIMS THERE

When did they get there? and what does that have to do with the origins of islam when islam was spread with bloodshed.

I notice you completely ignored the parts of my post you quoted that show you are flat out wrong.
Not the least bit surprised though.

His continued dishonesty is really very revealing. I wonder if he realizes that he is damaging his cause in the process?

I love your double-standards

It is an important point that most of the posters have failed to realize even in the later posts in the thread, hence their wrong conclusions. Islam is an ideology, to prove that Islam commanded to use sword to spread cannot be proved wrong with what Muslims rulers/monarchs or tribal chiefs did or said.
Regards

Your post is irrelevant since Islam can not do anything which you claim in the above, people did. Islam didn't get up and spread itself, the Quran didn't walk to any of these lands. So these people spread Islam. Now if you wish to maintain your facade of an argument you must accept the martyrs of otranto being killed for refusing to convert. Otherwise kindly delete your post

 

[MARCELLO]

Yes,it was and has been! I am a Croatian . Islam conqured my country. But I would hesitate if it were worse than the others, the communists did worst,though I am a socialist by heart.

[outhouse]

ok
paarsurrey, The Quran is not a book of Science, it is a book of signs

Would you agree it is not a book of history in the same context as it is not a book of science ?

 

[RAYYAN]

Would you agree it is not a book of history in the same context as it is not a book of science ?

Still it is not a book of History
however, The Quran points to some scientific and historical information. usually, when We point at something, We don't give details

 

[paarsurrey]

He did not say a word negatively about a camel did he?

I did not mention anything about camel in my post that he responded. Did I? Please
