Commentary on Muhammad p.b.u.h

De Lacy O'Leary in 'Islam at the Crossroads,' London, 1923.

History makes it clear, however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myths that historians have ever repeated.

So, I think his commentary shows us that not just the true image of Islam & Muhammad p.b.u.h is distorted but this action is repeated throughout history.
