Was prophet Mohammed a Warlord and expansion of Islam is by the tip of swords?
"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things"
Quran , Chapter 2, Verse 256
Embracing Islam was and still is simply a choice !
Islamic so called "Conquest" and the need to hold up arms were attempts of muslims to deliver the word of Islam to those whose kings won't allow it peacefully !
For those who say Islam is a religion that spread by tip of the sword !
Here are historical facts :
- Do you know how many battles happened in the 10 years of prophet Mohammed ‘s life after Islam? it was (80) in 10 years time. From those 80, only 7 where actual fight broke. In those 7 where fight broke the toll death number of Muslims was 139, and from their enemies 112. All for all 251 person killed at 7 battles in ten years’ time.
- The three major battles of those 7 were battle field near Al-Madinah which means the fight was brought to Muslims and they were fighting back in self-defense.
Battles were never sought by muslims to spread Islam only for self-defense.
- Ansar tribe in Al-Madina accepted Islam by the calling of Word. After Settling in Al Madinah, Prophet Mohammed started calling others to Islam by sending letters and emissaries explaining what the religion really is, Why ? because the word of Islam needs to spread amongst their subjects and be heard by all people. He sent a letter to the Great Mqawqas of the Copt in Egypt, He sent to Cesar of Byzantium, to emperor of Persia, None of them accepted Islam but all of them replied diplomatically and with gifts except Byzantium Cesar who tortured and brutally killed the prophet’s emissary; hence the Battle of Mua'ata when prophet sent a battalion of 3000 who won the battle against 100,000 Byzantian.
- Do you know that Big Tribes of Yemen did also receive a letter calling them to Islam and they embraced Islam with a letter because they saw the truth of this religion; so after they embraced Islam, prophet Mohammed send to them 1 man. Only One of his companions with instructions to build a mosque and teach people about Islam. That was it.
- Ok One will say. How about the battles led by caliphates of Muslims who ruled after the death of prophet?. Well As we said, the prophet already tried diplomacy asking those rulers to allow the word of Islam reaching their land but they declined. All Muslim battalions and armies sent to Iraq, Egypt, Persia they all went for one purpose! Remove the barrier that prevents Islam from reaching people. That’s why Islam sets the most exemplary and noble rules of engagement (Do not harm those unarmed civilians, do not kill and elderly, women, or children, do not cut a tree or destroy a building, and when those fighting you surrender take them as prisoners not to be harmed). That’s why the moment a battle is won, Muslims put down the sword, start living among people preaching the word of Islam.
- Do you know that in the Year 100 Hijri (Which is the Islamic Calendar) after 80 years under the role of Islam, the percentage of Muslims among population in Persia was only 5%. And 3% in Iraq, Egypt and Syria 2% and in Andalusia (Parts of Spain) it was

*God, who punishes the oppressors, saw the rap*s of the Romans, who brutally plundered our churches and monasteries wherever they ruled, and cruelly persecuted us, and sent the sons of Ismail (Arabs) from the south to save us.*
*Cardinal Monsenyör Duchene quotes Syriac Michael's speech (Jacobite Syrian Christian Church) upon what fell upon them when they refused unification with Eastern Roman Emperor Heraclius.*
