Good introduction to Islam Khalid (I hope you wrote it yourself and did not merely post an entire website article)
Most of issues have been debated on this forum several times.
I am however not so convinced of your proposition of Islam in connection to Jihad, women, other religious or the expansion of Islam.
I also wonder why you only referred to attrocities committed by non-Muslims, such as the crusades, and I don't know what you mean by Spain (you do realise that Spain was not Islamic it was under Islamic occupation, hence you might logically expect the struggle for freedom).
Also I am disapointed that you did not refer to the Islamic invasion of Syria, Persia, Egypt, Marocco, India, Turkey, which were all done through the means of invasion, the sword and brutality.
Now I guess we will wait for some of the brothers or sister on this forum to reply to your post.
Be blessed Khalid
