God sent prophets with books not with swords and guns. Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad gave us law and code of life. All preached brotherhood, justice, freedom, equality and peace. The prophets were the greatest champions of human rights. They boldly revolted against the tyrants, oppressors and aggressors.
Jehad by sword is only permissible when you are attacked. It is unfortunate that Islam is being branded as the religion of extremists, fascists, fundamentalists and terrorists. A few days again some non-Muslim questioned . He wrote; “Islam is the religion of terrorism and Muhammad was a terrorist.” Why he questioned this? How he came to such a conclusion? First; he has neither studied Islam nor the life of the Prophet of Islam. Second he has read or seen the terrorist activities of some Muslim hard liners and extremists. Partly he is correct and partly he is incorrect. The Quran about mischief mongers and the enemies of peace candidly in Sura “The Cow” says; “when it is said to them; ‘make not mischief on the earth’. They say; ‘we are only ones that put things right’. Of a surety, they are the ones who make mischief, but they realize it not” (2:11:12). The serious, objective and rational study of the Quran testifies this verity that Islam strongly condemns bloodshed and aggression. It is a religion of peace. The Meccans attacked Muhammad thrice. The battle of Badr; the battle of Uhad and the battle of Trench are solid proofs of the fact that the Muslims of Medina were assaulted by the idolaters of Mecca under the command of Abu Suffyan. When the Meccans breached the Treaty of Hudabiyga, then the Prophet of Islam moved to Mecca and without bloodshed conquered it. Had he been a terrorist or an aggressor he would have ruthlessly killed his enemies. The people who had tortured him and had turned him out from his native place would have also been wiped off. On the contrary what he did. He announced general amnesty. In the words of Quran he said; “Today No vengeance” – Pardon for all. Mercy for all. When his deadliest enemy Abu Suffyan accompanied by the uncle of the Prophet, Hazrat Abbas came and sought mercy and pardon, the Prophet forgave him. Besides it is on record that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) never wielded sword or carried sword. He never killed anyone in his life. The Quran says about the Prophet: “we have not but sent you as a mercy for all the worlds”. How such a man can be regarded as a terrorist? Here I must admit that some people are involved in terrorist activities. They are killing Muslims and non-Muslims in the name of religion. They are sectarian terrorists. They are suicide bombers. They have bean brainwashed. They believe in extremism. Such elements must be condemned. Jehad is not offensive. The Quran in Sura “The Cow” says; “Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loves not transgressors”.(2:190). The Islamic concept of Jehad has some basic human modest rules. The Prophet Muhammad had strictly prohibited the killing of non combatants, elderly persons, children, women, handicapped and ailing ones.

Were crusades the non violent way of spreading christianity?
Why is Islam the fastest growing religion? Is it being spread by the sword?
Muhammed and Jesus were human beings and can have difference in approach & strategy. Neither is flawed.
The holy prophet spread the word through peace and only lifted the sword in defence.
Don't you think apart from religion, a region's culture also plays a significant role. Arabia was desert, where people lived in tents, ate dates, carried swords, and rode camels & horses. We don't identify Islam with the culture of Arabia, we identify with the message.

Is?
Hmm you a confused person? The prophet who you speak of is dead, and his followers don't spread Islam by the sword as yu so aptly put.
If you even know the reference where the sword comes from it concerns warfare, back in those times they didn't have guns etc they had swords to fight.
And fighting doesn't mean you spreda the faith, it was a form of fighting unjust rulers etc. They actually had laws back in those days.
It's without religion that people got to greedy look at the US, they just bomb whoever they want or wherever they feel they can get free resources from.

If prophet Muhammad followed Jesus without using any sword, his followers lifted him up the cross like Jesus:))

Prophet Muhammad did follow this approach. Messangers of peace were always sent and wars did not start unless when those messangers were killed or attacked or there was a danger threatning the safety of the muslim entity.
The only difference in approach is 'love your enemy'. Islam is in the middle between the violent judaism and the too tolerant christianity. It is a religion of peace but power is allowed to be used when you are attacked to defend yourself and this is only fair.

both the help we favor isn't justified so we sense it confusing to ask for. after we are unable to have some challenge we favor or favor it quite is the right time to ask some one for help. thanks.

Are you kidding?
Well Jesus may have preached non violence, but the Christian church has a lot of blood on their hands, just take the crusades for example...

In most of the Eastern European countries Christianity was implemented by force and sword.
Tell me any country where Islam came through sword?
People are converting on their own good will. Do you know why? Coz they use their brains
