Here are a few statements attributed to this man of good character in the Hadith:
“I have been made victorious through terror.” (Bukhari 4:52.220)
“Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war…When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them…. If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them. (Muslim 4294)
“I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah, and he who professed it was guaranteed the protection of his property and life on my behalf except for the right affairs rest with Allah.” (Muslim 30)
“Prophet spread Islam not with sword but good character, asserts Swami Laxmi Shankaracharya,” by JS Ifthekhar, Siasat Daily, October 10, 2022:
Hyderabad: The teachings of Prophet Muhammad are as relevant today as they were 1400 years ago. In fact the Prophet’s teachings of justice and fair play hold out hope in the present strife torn times marked by oppressive social and economic discrimination.
This was the broad message given by speakers at the 73rd Rahmatul-lil-Alameen Day organised by the All India Majlis Tameer-e-Millat at the Exhibition Grounds on Sunday. A large number of people turned up at the programme arranged in connection with Milad-un-Nabi, the Prophet’s birth anniversary….
Earlier, the programme commenced with Quran recitation. It was interspersed by naths in the praise of the Prophet. Abdul Rafey of Maharashtra regaled the audience with an inspiring poem of Allama Iqbal.
Swami Laxmi Shankaracharya, founder, Hindu Muslim Jan Ekta Manch, Kanpur, surprised the audience with his knowledge of Islam and its last Messenger. Quoting Quranic verses and Hadiths, he described Islam as a religion of peace, love and forbearance. The Prophet succeeded in spreading Islam not with sword but with his good character. He was so kind that he never took revenge for anything and forgave even his bitter enemies. Unfortunately, Muslims today were not ready to follow the Prophet’s teachings although they were prepared to sacrifice their lives to redeem the Prophet’s honour.
Referring to the disturbing situation in the country, he said how anti- social elements were bent on creating differences and dissension between Muslims and Hindus. It was time people knew about their own religion and also about other faiths. The Swami referred to many incidents from the Prophet’s life to show his exemplary tolerance. All this he knew as he had read the holy Quran, Hadith and biography of the Prophet in Hindi language….

this “Swami” needs some quick and serious help. Is he a mozlum convert, posing as a Hindu?
As young Hindus across India and in pakistan are raped and tortured and murdered by mozlums, it can’t have escaped his notice that they are following their fake prophet.
Daniel Bielak says
This is an example of Stockholm syndrome and Pollyanna willful blindness like there exists among many Jewish people.
Defending and obscuring evil helps no one and can harm many.
Daniel Bielak says
The first thing I wrote in my previous comment was “Geez,” but then I thought that would be undignified, so I removed it. But I think a ‘Geez” is warranted here.
Daniel Bielak says
…as I think is an “*eye-roll*,* and a “give me a break.”

India: Hindu spokesman claims Muhammad spread Islam ‘not with sword but with his good character’
……………………………..
This moron either knows nothing about Islam or is deliberately whitewashing it. The Qur’an alone is full of Muhammad spreading Islam by the sword–as is the bloody history of Islam, including in India.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Hindus need to stick to Mahamandaleshwar Yati Narasinghnand Giri of the Juna Akhara, and just avoid these Sankaracharyas and the Sadhguru, who’re as woke as secular Hindus. In fact, I always ignored what these ‘sages’ used to say until Yati Narasinghnand came along, and got a target painted around him for daring to tell the truth about islam
commonsense says
The swami evidently knows nothing about the *dhimma* (pact of protection) which preserves the lives and property of those infidels willing to abase themselves, pay a punitive tax (the *jizya*), and accept subordinate status within a Muslim-dominated state. Alas for Hindus, however, the dhimma is only extended to those whose religion is based on a scripture deemed by Muslims to have some degree of theological legitimacy – only a few religions qualify (Judaism, Christianity, Magianism,, Zoroastrianism), Hinduism, Janis, and Budddhism not being among them. The only options for the adherents of those non-qualifying faiths, once conquered through jihad, are embracing Islam or being put to the sword. The sheer number of non-Muslims in India, however, makes this unrealistic, thankfully.
One of the Muhammed emperors, Akhbar the Great, ruled that Hindus could in fact be subjected to the dhimma. He realized it was better to spare their lives and collect jizya from these millions of Hindus, greatly enriching his coffers. His successor was not as lax, however, and promptly rescinded Akhbar’s ruling upon Akhbar,’s death.
commonsense says
Damned spellchecker. Jainism, not Janis.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Buddhism was completely wiped out of India, but thanks to previous missionary work in South East Asia and Sri Lanka, it continued to survive there. Jainism was similarly almost wiped out: today, it happens to be a fringe religion, around 5 million. Only Hinduism had the numbers to survive, and the ideology to resist
commonsense says
Thank you, Infidel. And I just noticed that spellchecker struck again…I meant Mughal emperors, not Muhammed (sic) emperors.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
No, Muhammed(an) emperors was correct. Mughals were only those Turkic conquerors who were there from the 1500s to the 1800s. The ones that struck from 1200s were other Turks from Afghanistan
commonsense says
I must correct myself – my memory is faulty. Akhbar rescinded the jizya altogether, as I now recall. Upon his death, the jizya was promptly reimposed. The measure of tolerance conferred on Akhbar’s non-Muslim subjects was short-lived, ending at his death
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Actually, it is now disputed whether he actually rescinded the jiziya: that order was rarely implemented at ground level, and only applied in high profile dealings w/ other Hindu rulers who were allied to Akbar
wpm says
Why do libtards be they the current Pope( I am Roman Catholic) or reformed Jewish sects ,or Christian progressive Christians think kissing this cult members ass that have Killed or enslaved millions over 1400 years will change! I have zero bad feeling or wishing any ill to non-believers of my faith these Islamic Nazis should not appeased appeasement it only makes them stronger . The libtard Hindus should realize like all other faiths these Jihadist take only slaves as prisoners and kill the rest, over 200,000,000 Hindus have been killed in the name of Islam over the last 1400 years they would gladly enslave or kill the rest of them.

Good character!! In what universe is this scumbag Muhammad’s character considered to be “good”. He was a murdering, evil, vicious creature, and a pedophile degenerate on top of that. To me, he is about as low as a person can go. A gangster, a bandit is what any civilised society would consider him to be. He was also, in my opinion, non-existent and was made up later on by a bunch of evil barbarians. His non-existence made me think of the exchange between Leonard and Sheldon, on the “Big Bang Theory” where, after meeting Penny, Leonard says “Our children will be smart and good-looking”, and Sheldon says, “And imaginary”. How anyone could think that Muhammad had a good character is beyond my understanding, but I suppose in some strange people’s minds evil characters are their idea of good. A bit like the way many Muslims seem to admire an evil creature like Hitler. There are some people with very twisted minds around.
Wellington says
This Hindu “spokesman” should heed (he won’t though) the assessment by John Quincy Adams, America’s 6th President, of Mohammed, to wit, “The essence of his doctrine was violence and lust—to exalt the brutal over the spiritual part of human nature.”
Devasur says
One such guru was taken to task by an Indian exmuslim. That guru was very shocked to hear the truth. basically, thanks to libertards who were ruling for decades they had successfully brainwashed Hindus to believable Islam is a peaceful religion.
alexreid says
Great Character, FFS! A mass murderer, Slaver, Rapist, Paedophile, Necrophile, Robber, Sadist, Hypocrite, Liar, just to name a few of his traits. somewhere in the Texts Muhammed did say, “Islam will be spread by terror.”
