The quote is: “There is no compulsion in religion.” Some would like it to mean that Islam should not be forced on anyone. This interpretation does not ring true when you consider that anyone who did not convert to Islam was either charged a protection fee, or was killed.
I interpret it to mean an excuse to force the religion of Islam on people by force. Mohammad was a warrior and lived by the sword. It is not true that the killings that Mohammad and his followers committed were in self-defense. It is a myth perpetrated for appeasement.
