from the very begining i feel that islam was violently forced on muslims. as time went on it became an acceptable ideology and no one was supposed to criticise it. those who did were killed and been killed even now
am i right?

You make a very good point. Islam is a pseudo religion based on worship of the moon.
its chief prophet, muhammed, built the religion up to justify his murdering, thieving ways.
haven't you ever heard of 'conversion by the sword"? when muhammed would be broke he would organize a raiding party on neighboring tribes and peoples. the men and boys he would have killed, the women and young girls would be taken as wives and the people's goods were distributed as treasure. the survivors of these raids who didn't want to convert to islam were asked again with a sword at their neck.
its all a pseudo religion concocted by a con man. the greatest con man of them all, muhammed.

Actually your may be right...many religions and ideologies are like that. Look at the history of Christianity. During the spanish inquisition many women were burned at the stake for "worshiping nature and being witches" by Christains. The Crusades attempted to force many to convert to Christianity and reclaim Jeruselum. There are many many references to these and other similar ideologies such as Communism and Facism.

You are very wrong.!
The Prophet of Islam Muhammed (pbuh) did not hold any debates nor did he challenge anyone to controversies and discussions. He silently converted people to his faith through his strong personality, charming demeanor and force of divine virtues. He bore with patience the persecution of his tormentors. His characteristics as well as the power of the verses of the Quran captivated the hearts of people. Ameen

NOPE!!!
we accepted Islam cuz we know its the Absolute TRUTH... in the Quran Allah has mentioned that there is "no Forcing in Islam"
u CANT force islam on anyone... acceptin or not accepting a religion is a persons own FREE WILL.........
...n thats why the minorities live in peace in Muslim countries unlike non-muslim countries...
for example... take Pakistan n india,...
in paksitan,... the Christians n hindus live in peace n there has been NO problems!
but look at india,,, who can forget the GUJRAT GENOCIDE in which thousands of muslims were burnt,murdered in a few days by the Hindu fanatics,..

No - Islam isn't forced on Muslims any more than Christianity is forced on Christians.

You are not right.
If you are asking about conversion then go to http://www.turntoislam.com/ read some stories and see some videos, were they forced? Nope.
A true Muslim would never criticize Islam as Islam is beyond criticism. No bragging, it's true. Most criticisms about Islam I came accross were futile, ridiculous and ignorant and by non-Muslims with no proper knowledge about Islam.

Islamic fanatics brainwash children and to create other future extremists... who in turn will attempt to brainwash others into believing as they do. Until the cycle is broken, it will continue.

What if you are right. What if you are wrong. Other than for humanity reasons these peoples beliefs are nothing, going nowhere, end up nowhere. Unless they somehow join reality.
