"The introduction of islam to much of the world was through trade, just the same as the christians. "

Would you care to provide evidence for that assertion about trade rather than jihad? There is evidence that for areas like Indonesia & Malaysia, trade was the route. For almost everywhere else, it was by war. Next you'll be telling me that the hundreds of years in which islam used violence to dominate Spain was a Golden Age of tolerance and multi-culturalism.

Ibn Ishaq's book "The Life of Mohammed" was known by muslims for hundreds of years as "The Book of Battles". Muslims must emulate Mohammed. In the 13 years he was in Mecca, he attained 150 followers. In Medina he embraced war, assassination, slave-taking and robbery. By the time he died, all of Arabia was muslim.

Essentially, Islam was spread by the sword.

Attacking that video as "dumb paranoid aryan propaganda" is an ad hominem fallacy. Deal with the facts.

So would you please care to provide evidence to this assertion? How someone with a mere 150 followers could control a whole nation ?

Voldemort managed.

Yea maybe history and fiction are much correlated by the way they are created and explained.
