This was a historian on Islam and it's history. He was also a practicing Christian, not Muslim. He is regarded as one of the best American historian on Islam, and, again, He was not a Muslim. Here is what he says in his book "Islam and world history"

"There was no attempt at converting the peoples of the imperial territories, who practically all adhered to some form of confessional religion already…In the chiefly non-Arab agricultural lands, the object was not conversion but rule…The superiority of Islam as religion, and therefore in providing for social order, would justify Muslim rule: would justify the simple, fair-dealing Muslims in replacing the privileged and oppressive representatives of the older, corrupted allegiances…[2]"

Again, where is the proof that Muslims have forced their religion on us? Ashur has made the claim, and we want some verification for his claim. Any sources, links, etc? I am dying to see them.
