Islam means peace.

Islam comes from the root word 'salaam', which means peace. It also means

submitting one's will to Allah (swt). Thus Islam is a religion of peace, which is

acquired by submitting one's will to the will of the Supreme Creator, Allah (swt).

No compulsion in religion.

With which sword was Islam spread? Even if Muslims had it they could not use

it to spread Islam because the Qur'an says in the following verse:

"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from

error"

[Al-Qur'an 2:256]

Muslims are forever required to respect and give the rights to non Muslims and cannot think about them any lesser than everyone else in any form.
