You can start at Human Rights Watch, select "Country" which creates a drop down menu, select the region then select various Muslim nations to see their record.

Ignoring Posts that have already addressed and refuted this point will do you no good.
What is wrong with smashing the idols?
There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that Islamic rule was somehow better in any regards than the kingdoms and empires they conquered, may they be Persia, Eastern Roman Empire or Indian kingdoms.
One example is in Iran, where being a Baha'i is illegal, where all non-Muslims are restricted from positions of authority, even over their own faith schools and where anyone who becomes a member of another religion from a Muslim background is subject to the death penalty. A Persian friend of mine I lived with in East England last year was seeking asylum in the UK because of this - he was 17.

Why Bahai? There are Jews living peacefully in Iran?
Baha'i are fiercely and cruelly persecuted. Worse than Muslims are in any country in the world.
There is a sad remnant of the Persian Jewish population, and they are subject to extensive legal restrictions, as are all those of minority religions.
I don't know... what about decreeing atheists "terrorists" in Saudi Arabia, for one?
What good would a religion be if it can't be expected to teach people to improve their morality?
Why should it even be called a religion at all (which I no longer do regarding Islaam)?
An attempt at obsfucation. What you say is true, but it is also running away from the blatant facts that I mentioned.

And how they're still existing?
In the same way Muslims still exist in countries where they are persecuted. Persecution is not annihilation.

Oh Jeez. Since it took hundreds of years to throw off their Muslim masters OBVIOUSLY it was because they were so well liked. DUH!

I think you claimed that Islam was spread by the sword, so how other religions are
still existing in the region?

And the Atheist world loves Saudi Arabia, it's not even in the Trump's list.
Where's the atheist world? The countries with atheist majorities? China, Czechia?
Your point being?And the Atheist world loves Saudi Arabia, it's not even in the Trump's list.
If you have failed to notice, jews existed and continue to exist in Europe despite over 2000 years of near continuous persecution by Rome and later the Christian kingdoms and states. When people are convinced about the right of their belief they will persevere despite all persecution.

Which means that the others weren't convinced, so the theory of forced by the sword failed.
