| So, people argue that Islam was spread through the sword. Muslims disagree and present their counter arguments and prove that there is more to the reality than what it apparently looks. Along the same lines, I often ask myself this. America and western powers are the biggest champions of democracy and declare that democracy is the 'only' true solution to political set-up in a country. For this reason, they want to impose their version of democracy in every place of the world. Currently, they are running two open wars, one in Afghanistan and one in Iraq under the slogan of 'bringing democracy'. Are they trying to bring 'their system' into the world with the help of 'sword' (ammunation)? Hypothetically, even if we agree that Islam was spread through sword (not that I agree with that but just for the argument sake), then, what is this that these champions are doing? If you argue that they are bringing a better system and they are justified, then, also produce your view point on if brining Islamic system through force was wrong. |
