If Islam was spread by sword, then what about the people it kills, why do its people grow then, since it has killed all the person it meets at war... Belief is something which can never be accomplished with Sword... Someone can just migrate to other place if he fills he cannot live with muslims at that time... So I don't think Islam is spread by Sword, but by Truth, Mercy, and Peace...

if they claim that islam was spread by sword (which is false), then we tell them the sword can hurt the body, but can't change the heart.

Islam is a play- play religion that demonstrates against cartoons, but not against its members who target innocent children & people by trying 2 bomb passenger planes. It places death warrants on people who criticize them (Rusdie), it wants apologies from people who quote facts, it criticizes & wants apologies from actors in hollywood who make movies off bibical facts & it supports murdering innocent people in the name of its prophet Mohammed (the jihad). Its people throws tantrums at any criticism to it, imaginary or actual & in short they appear childish & immature. I believe that they should take educational bible courses from christians who can teach them the meaning of tolerance, peace & what God & religion really is about.
As 2 why Islam grows, well, the middle east is more populated today than yesteryear & as these people have no choice of religion they will automatically be muslims. If a million people born tomorrow in the middle east that is a million more muslims tomorrow. Maybe a few may stray but 99% will be muslims. What choice do they have? So it is obvious that Islam will grow.
Also in the western world people have freedom of worship & as the population here has also increased it is obvious that more people will join the open religions, & Christianity & Islam is the 2 more popular choices. Therefore growth of members in both religions. Dont know why muslims try to put this great importance in numbers when it is just an increase in population in the world. There are more members in all religions today than 50yrs.ago & it is obviously because there are more people living in the world today than there were 50yrs. ago

The reason for the rapid spread of Islam was the attraction that the thinking people developed towards an ideal free from superstition upholding the worship of the ‘One and Only God’, the Creator and the pursuit of His messengers. It was only natural for those thinking people to be drawn to the practice of a faith that sought the path of ‘surrender to God’, at a time when their perceptions were fogged by false deities, and their agents who posed as priests. The ideal of ‘One God, one humanity’, simultaneously put forth by Islam, uproots the parochial beliefs put up in the name of ones birth. The access to the message of ‘one humanity’ experienced by those who were being oppressed in the name of religion and caste, further led to the propagation of Islam. The selfless and sincere lives led by Muslims who migrated different parts of the world for business purposes and the like, also drew the people of those countries to Islam.
To this day, Islam, which occupies the mind of man though manifold noble ways, continues to influence the thoughts and deeds of millions of peoples in all continents around the world, with its sterling ideals.

Islam is not spread by sword in the USA.
It was spread by sword in the Middle East. People in the Middle East had no where to migrate to when this happened. Even now they have no choice.

Spreading by the sword means - convert or die.
Same for the conquistidors in South America, the Inquisition period.
Both side are equally tarnished yet so defensive.
Call me a lost soul but religion is out of my vocabulary.

In 622 muhammad was forced to flee mecca.He regrouped his army and defeated meccan force in 624.After suffering reverses he repelled a meccan siege of madina in 627.From that time till now they want to kill who is not like them.They spreaded their faith by force or we can say with sword.Now they do not have much force left,they want to win by terrorism.If you go back and look at the events since 622,you will not find one moment of peace.Any faith born with sword,lived with sword will Insha Allah die with sword.
