They have resorted to misrepresenting the religion and exaggerating the causes of its spread. Indeed, they write nothing about it but lies and portray nothing from it but illusions. As long as they are like this, the questioners will remain bewildered and will continue to ask about it. Especially since they believe that material means have the power to bring non-Christians into the fold of churches. However, some of their writers have undertaken to explain this, making no room for the truth in their writings, but their words are not free from padding and confusion, and their research is full of futile sophistry. We are here examining what these writers say about the reasons for Islam's precedence in its call. These critics say that the Islamic sword has a role in this race. Indeed, the religious men and political leaders of Europe say more than that. They say that Islam was founded only by the sword, and its influence spread only over the blood it shed, and hearts embraced it only out of fear of its swords. This is their opinion, and they are not hesitant about it. Rather, they take it without research and state it without restraint. I have also observed that just as they have delved into the topic of "oppression" in their writings and speeches, they have also focused on this sword in their newspapers and speeches, saying that Islam only spread by the sword. Let the cross spread by the sword. I do not know, but they want to provoke. They are talking about the oppression of Christians and the vile behavior of Christians, and they want this sword to be wielded against Muslims, just as Muslims wielded it against Christians in their conquests. And one of their priests, his companions say to him as they advise him: "If you believe in oppressing a Muslim nation and provoking Christians to fight them in order to save the people who are being oppressed, then keep the sword in mind and say, 'The Muslims used to convert Christians to their religion by the sword.' So mention the sword in your sermons and mention the sword in your speeches. And to support your argument and strengthen your claim, extract some verses from the Quran and translate them for the listeners to show them how Islam commands the conversion of those who deviate from its doctrine. For I have seen many members of parliament and others from the clergy adopt this approach in every incident in the East. And we are worthy of following them and their path, and the end justifies the means. If one of the Muslims confronts you to deny your words and accuse you of deliberately distorting the Islamic appearance and making mistakes in quoting Quranic verses and fabricating lies against his religion, then do not pay attention to him and do not give his attacks any consideration. And how can you say that a proud and ancient Easterner would contradict you? The other is a raging fire, and you are in the midst of Christians who believe in your words and believe in them with simplicity and respect you for your attacks on the religion of Muhammad, that filthy, despised religion.
