Since it's the religion of the sword, then they will cut you up in pieces if you refuse to convert, so "religion of pieces" seems more accurate. Your head is over here, your arms are over there.......

I've used that term before.
The spread of Islam has been based on military conquest from the very beginning. Violence was frequently used by Muhammad.
Christianity is often derided for the Crusades, but Christians didn't start waging open warfare against their enemies in the name of their God until after Christianity was distorted by Constantine and his "visions" of the cross before battle. That was about 300 years after Jesus. Violence was not an original aspect of Christianity.

It's not the religion of the sword, if you read Reza Aslan's book, he tells you about how the MUSLIMS discouraged Islam.
AND
If you read History, Anytime, anybody tried to spread Islam by the sword, they failed. Anytime, anybody converted to Islam, it was because of the word/Da'wah/Islamic Preaching.
AND
It says in the Quran "There is no compulsion in religion" meaning if you make religion compulsory, nobody will become religious.

No. Islam does not support violence. The word "Islam" means "submit to God". Around 99.999% of Muslims are average, peaceful people.
The reason many people perceive Muslims as violent is because the extremists and terrorists are receiving so much media attention. Extremists in ANY religion can and often are violent.

Protestantism, too, should be called the religion of "pieces" as well, since there are more than 30,000 denominations of it -- with no-one in communion with the other. Protestantism is so fractured and splintered as to be a counter witness to the final prayer of Jesus in John 17 who prayed that all might be one. The joke, of course, is that Protestnism multiplies -- by division!
"I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas"; still another, "I follow Christ". ( 1 Cor. 1:10-12).
Of course, now, it's: "I'm Assembly of God"; "I'm Methodist"; "I belong to the Disciples of Christ"; "I belong to the Church of God in Christ", etc, etc. etc!!!

Islam may have spread itself by great feats of conquest, but Christianity did as well-and your question isn't funny, it's quite rude.

Well, yes. But I thought that the reason was descriptive of the various trajectories their body parts took when they exploded themselves.
