1. Islam is like cancer, it can metastasize anywhere and everywhere; no place is safe form this disease. Only difference is, cancer can be cured in many cases, Islam is fatal to all.
2. DAMN! "Thisisme," those are pretty harsh words! It's hard to argue with them tho. =/
3. murder and intimidation
4. It spread by word and it is the one true religion. Only the true religion can be that convincing.
5. The correct figure is nearer 200 million. Islam came to Indonesia through Arab traders from Yemen - the famous revered 7 saints from Hadramaut, Yemen- no Muslim army set foot there- kindof defeats the "spread by the sword" libel
6. islam is the only religion that had the most peaceful conversions through merchants that had a trade route from the arab pennisnsula that traveled to india trading goods and from there the religion spread to indonesia and places like that
