Ibn Ishaq added in his account: umm kulthum" I was sent with the sword before the (Last) Hour so that Allah is worshipped, Alone, without a partner." A Sahih Hadeeth; Sahih al-Jami.
Western authors, religious and political leaders, media personalities, etc., often use this Prophetic hadeeth to prove what they claim is Islam’s true aim, that is, to force non-Muslims to become Muslim.

It seems that we live in an age of Muftis, where anyone and everyone gives religious verdicts on behalf o [sic] Islam, even those with the least knowledge about the religion of Islam. Even Pope Benedict issued his own Fatwa (religious opinion) on Ayah 2:256, by stating, "Emperor [Manuel III] must have known that Surah 2, 256 reads: ‘There is no compulsion in religion.’ According to some experts, this is probably one of the suras of the early period, when Mohammed was still powerless and under threat."
