Please focus on the following points.
Now I give peaceful spread of Ahmadiyya true Islam in Denmark. [1]
Ahmadiyya in Denmark
Ahmadiyya is an Islamic branch in Denmark, under the spiritual leadership of the caliph in London. Kamal Yousuf, an Ahmadi Muslim missionary, who was appointed for disseminating Ahmadiyya teachings in Scandinavia,[1] first toured Denmark in 1956.[2] The earliest Danes to have converted to the movement were from the 1950s[2] and the Community was first established in 1959,[3] during the last few years of the Second Caliphate. Today, there are two Ahmadi mosques, of which one is purpose-built mosque, the oldest in the country.[4] There are an estimated 600 Ahmadi Muslims in the country.[5]
History[edit]
Recognition[edit]
Ahmadiyya efforts in Scandinavia began in the 1950s, when an Ahmadi Muslim missionary, Kamal Yousuf, originally from Pakistan, was appointed to open Ahmadiyya missions in the region. Although Yousuf was primarily based in Sweden, he first toured Denmark in 1956.[2] Some of the earliest Danes to have converted to the Islamic faith were also from the 1950s and the 1960s, and who predominantly converted to the Ahmadiyya movement. Among the converts of that period, estimated at almost 30, was Svend Aage Madsen, a teacher who adopted the name Abdus Salam Madsen.[2] Despite Yousuf’s initial engagement, Islam was introduced in Denmark by converts as opposed to, by foreigners. In other European countries it was foreign missionaries who were chiefly responsible for introducing the religion.[6]
In 1961, led by Madsen, the then national vice-president of Community, Ahmadi Muslims applied for recognition as a religious community in Denmark by a royal decree. The Community requested for the civil recognition of Islamic marriage ceremonies and funeral services. However, the Ministry for Ecclesiastical Affairs rejected the application on the basis of the size of the congregation. In 1973, once again led by Madsen, reported that of the 12,000 Muslims in the country, 3,000 to 4,000 of them were associated to the new mosque. However, by this period, royal decree, as form of recognition had been abolished. Nevertheless, a year later, in 1974, the Community was recognized as the first Muslim community of Denmark.[2]

- Islam has been reformed under the Ahmadiyya and is one of the fastest spreading religious community in the world.
- Ahmadiyya or true Islam has peacefully spread in about 206 countries/territories of the world. In about 150 years Ahmadiyya are already more than the Zoroastrians and perhaps the Judaism people, no disrespect intended to anybody.
- if one is truthful one would increase despite the opposition, persecution and killings done by the opponents.
- Ahmadiyya Muslims follow teachings of Quran as did Muhammad follow. In fact Ahmadiyya follow in Muhammad’s footsteps.
- Those who doubt that Islam spread peacefully in times of Muhammad they should focus on spread of Ahmadiyya true Islam, If it has happened now peacefully, it should be a clear sign for the doubtful that Islam spread peacefully in times of Muhammad.
Now I give peaceful spread of Ahmadiyya true Islam in Denmark. [1]

How credible can something be if no details are provided ? Seems to hold no value what so ever historically.
Really its a non answer on your part.
But I will provide a fact, no credible scholars, not one in the whole world, uses the koran for any aspect of jesus or Israelite history.

What for? You're just repeating the same already-refuted claims over and over again as if you're caught in an echo chamber.

It is not there to be credible or to be taken as a reference for anything. It is there to make us contemplate and do more study. how is that a no answer in my part! do you want me to tell you lies!

What good is study if you have to refuse credible knowledge and education?

We don't care about how islam spread later in time. THAT is not the question OP asked.
We are talking about the origins of islam, when islam first started, did the warrior so called prophet spread his religion with blood.
So far the only credible answer has been yes with a high degree of certainty.

Who wrote koran? Who used swords and spilled blood to spread its message?

It is totally wrong that Islam spread by the sword. Muhammad defended his faith, his religion and his people. Is it wrong to defend one? Please

I have never met a muslim who accepts credible history or science.
Example, moses and abraham FACTUALLY have no historicity as ever existing. The exodus never took place as written by all credible academic knowledge.
Yet you would not accept this.
You also do not accept that muhammads cousin was a heretic priest and was known for writing Arabic versions of the bible, and he found muhammad at the age of 5 wondering around the mountains. This would be where muhammad learned his heretical biblical knowledge.
The same heretic priest is also said to be the first one to claim he was a prophet
You also refuse the knowledge that islam incorporated biblical mythology into its own mythology. That's is islam plagiarized biblical traditions.

1. That is not knowledge, it is an absence of knowledge
2. No authentic and credible account on that
3. The Bible and Quran are very similar, no wonder because it is one God and one Message

Those (others) who say that it (Islam) was not (spread with sword are absolutely right). There is no compulsion in religion because compulsion cannot win one's heart, compulsion could create a hypocrite not a believer who would sacrifice his life for Islam. Islam generates free souls, loves freedom of one's opinion and one's religion ,freedom of worship and freedom of places of worship not only of the Muslims but even of the Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians etc, etc, etc...........etc.
