Firstly I thanking you honestly for your kind reply and the comments which pave the way to wipe out the misunderstanding and the ignorance of Muhammed Peace Be Upon Him. -Lord Buddha taught compassion toward all animals, even the tiny ant. He deemed taking the life of any living being a sin. Mohammed on the other hand embraced animal sacrifice on holy days, and said animals are simply available for us to use, including for food.Prophet Muhammed PBUH also taught compassion towards animals. According to overall teachings of Islam, causing unavoidable pain and suffering to the defenseless and innocent creatures of God is not justifiable under any circumstances. Islam wants prevent not only physical cruelty also mental cruelty. We were on a journey with the Apostle of God(s), and he left us for a while. During his absence, we saw a bird called hummara with its two young and took the young ones. The mother bird was circling above us in the air, beating its wings in grief, when the Prophet came back and said: 'who has hurt the FEELINGS of this bird by taking its young? Return them to her'. (Narrated by Abdul Rahman bin Abdullah bin Mas'ud. Muslim. Also Awn (Ref. No. 32) Hadith No. 2658. Also "Guillaume' (Ref. No. 57); p. 106). It is reported by the same authority that: "a man once robbed some eggs from the nest of a bird. The Prophet(s) had them restored to the nest." (id).  The Islamic concern about cruelty to animals is so great that it has declared the infliction of any unnecessary and avoidable pain 'even to a sparrow or any creature smaller than that' as a sin for which the culprit would be answerable to God on the Day of Judgement. The Prophet(s) told his companions of a woman who would be sent to Hell for having locked up a cat; not feeding it, nor even releasing it so that it could feed herself." (Narrated by Abdullah bin 'Omar. Bukhari, 4:337; Mishkat Al-Masabih concluded from "Bukhari" and "Muslim" to the effect that: 'A good deed done to a beast is as good as doing good to a human being; while an act of cruelty to a beast is as bad as an act of cruelty to human beings' and that: 'Kindness to animals was promised by rewards in Life Hereafter.' (Mishkat al-Masabih; Book 6; Chapter 7, 8:178.) The Prophet(s) told his companions of a serf who was blessed by Allah for saving the life of a dog by giving it water to drink and quenching its thirst. (Narrated by Abu Huraira. Muslim, Vol. 4, Hadith No. 2244. Also Bukhari, 3:322. Also Awn (Ref. No. 32); Hadith No. 2533, and others).

He never made surmons labelling people who chose not to believe his teachings as "disbelievers".Prophet Muhammed PBUH also never never showed or taught hatred towards a living thing in his life time Kafir (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_language" target="_blank">Arabic</a>: كافر kāfir; plural كفّار kuffār) is an Arabic word meaning "rejecter" or "ingrate." In the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam" target="_blank">Islamic</a> doctrinal sense, the term refers to a person who hides, denies, or covers the truth that Islam is the deen, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God" target="_blank">God</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allah" target="_blank">Allah</a>) is the one and only and the prophethood of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad" target="_blank">Muhammad</a> when clear proof has been shown to him / her. Kafir means not a disbeliever it is  to a person who hides, denies, or covers the truth that Islam is the deen. The truth is you people are rejecting. there is no harm in rejecting. So that we call you kafir it is not a disgraceful term it is the opposite word of Muslim. If Islam is teaching hatred on kafirs you will not find a harmonious Sri Lanka. today it is one of a prime duty of a muslim to be kind and exemplary for non muslims so as to show them the TRUTH.   How to dealing with non-Muslims Allah Thaala Says In The Holy Quran.God welcomes you to be kind those who have not made war against you on account of [your] religion, and have not driven you forth from your homes, that you show them kindness (birr) and deal with them justly; surely God loves the doers of justice. God only forbids you respecting those who made war upon you on account of [your] religion, and drove you forth from your homes and backed up [others] in your expulsion, that you make friends with them, and whoever makes friends with them, these are the unjust.

My dear brother tell me which army went to Indonesia & Maldives to spread Islam previously these two countries were practicing buddhism . today Indonesia is the highest muslim populated country in the world. Al Hamduliilah. American historian <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ira_Lapidus&action=edit&redlink=1" target="_blank">Ira Lapidus</a> points towards "interwoven terms of political and economic benefits and of a sophisticated culture and religion" as appealing to the masses.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spread_of_Islam#cite_note-Lapidus_1-9#cite_note-Lapidus_1-9" target="_blank">[10]</a> He writes that :"The question of why people convert to Islam has always generated intense feeling. Earlier generations of European scholars believed that conversions to Islam were made at the point of the sword, and that conquered peoples were given the choice of conversion or death. It is now apparent that conversion by force, while not unknown in Muslim countries, was, in fact, rare. Muslim conquerors ordinarily wished to dominate rather than convert, and most conversions to Islam were voluntary. (...) In most cases worldly and spiritual motives for conversion blended together. Moreover, conversion to Islam did not necessarily imply a complete turning from an old to a totally new life. While it entailed the acceptance of new religious beliefs and membership in a new religious community, most converts retained a deep attachment to the cultures and communities from which they came."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spread_of_Islam#cite_note-Lapidus_1-9#cite_note-Lapidus_1-9" target="_blank">[10]</a>The orientalist Thomas Arnold wrote his book The Preaching of Islam with the aim of killing off the spirit of jihad among the Muslims and proving that Islam was not spread by the sword, rather that it spread by means of peaceful preaching, free from any use of force. Robert Bean says: The Muslims conquered the entire world before and they could do it again. Can you please tell us which army came to Sri Lanka to spread Islam ???????? For more information : <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spread_of_Islam" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spread_of_Islam</a> -Lord Buddha respected women, never considered women as secondary citizens, or slaves as Mohammed did In the family unit, Islam honours mothers very highly.Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to Allah's Messenger and said, "O Allah's Messenger! Who is more entitled to be treated with the best companionship by me?" The Prophet said, "Your mother." The man said. "Who is next?" The Prophet said, "Your mother." The man further said, "Who is next?" The Prophet said, "Your mother." The man asked for the fourth time, "Who is next?"The Prophet said, "Your father."

Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under Allah's trust and with His permission. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste..."

But islam is the only religion on the face of the earth which has made manumitting a slave to be one of many meritorious deeds available for the expiation of sins.
