How Islam Spread [split: UN Condemns the Dutch Film]

Re: UN Condemns the Dutch Film

"
the Spanish peninsula as well as arab lands would be purely Islamic, but the hard truth is Islam was never spread by the sword. There remained non-muslims who were free to practice their faith"

          Check the population pattern (%wise) of middle eastern countries in 1900 and 2008 and judge yourself ; the comment you made. And During the  initial stage of Islam Saudi population was not like todays. There were number of Christians ,jews and pagans  . Think about todays population pattern . The fact is that Islam was tolerent but not is.
