Paradoxically all Muslims are not terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.

But this discussion is not about terrorism. It is about the spread of Islam. And looking at the current rate of its spread in the US and Europe, one can easily determine it could not have been spread by force in the past either.

Definition of a terrorist is, "A radical who employs terror as a political weapon; usually organizes with other terrorists in small cells; often uses religion as a cover for terrorist activities." This definition comes from dictionary. It is a widely acknowledged definition. None define terrorist as Muslims. They themselves profess that they are Muslims. They do so because they want to use Islam as a cover for their terrorist activities. Therefore, I explicitly said, "All Muslims are not terrorists."

I agree with you. Islam by its very true nature cannot have been spread by the sword. Only the power and political empire would have fought and often as a response to some kind of attack. But I am not sure which millions of Americans you are referring to. True, there is a population of Muslims which results from migration, and true there are conversions, but I am not sure about the millions.

I totally agree with you. Islam teach the followers not to push someone to get in to Islam, but peace and brotherhood of man is the best way that makes someone in love with Islam.
