Islam did not spread with magic - Holy Prophet (PBUH) set examples of kindness and tolerance in his teachings and had to endure lot of hardships in the process.
It is easy for morally bankrupt people to question his morals and struggles in this age - what kind of world WE live in.

Man, really depends on what type of algebra you're talking about.
Modern algebra with full symbols and rules?
That's Descartes.
Also, here's my citation directly to Descartes printed writing (lol, this is as legit as a citation can get when you directly cite photographs of actual published works from the 1600s):

Citation came from Descartes entry on his wikipedia page. If you google "Descartes Algebra" you can find many citations for his work.

Do you have any specific examples (please use citations)? I can assume from your post that your examples will show Muhammad to be a blood thirsty warmonger.

I'm talking about foundations of modern mathematics. Indian mathematical documents have been found going as far back as 6th century BC.

Buddy, I'm an Indian. The Islamic conquest of India makes your bloodiest wars (save world wars) look like a joke.
Abhi is right. Everyone who knows actual history knows that Muhammed was not a peaceful, kind-hearted man.
It was because of muslim aggression and invasions that the bloody Crusades were started. They were not a peaceful people lol. Sure, as long as you submitted to them and their nonexistant God, Allah, then they might have let you live in peace... just maybe.
If you held firm to Christian or Jewish beliefs though then nope, you were an infidel that deserved to be beheaded.
It’s true that Muhammad was not a peaceful man, but the crusades were not started because of Muslim conquest or aggression. The persecution of Christians and Jews also depends on what states and time periods we are talking about, under the height of the Ottoman Empire though Jews and Christians were protected and the practice of their Religion allowed, in many ways Christians certainly had a better status there than non-Christians did in Europe
The Crusaders didn't wake up one day and go "Hey, let's go start attacking and killing muslims and others for no reason whatsoever!" LOL.
They were a response to Muslim conquests. They were defensive campaigns, at first. It was only during the later crusades that they turned into aggressive campaigns.

Did you know that in a Hindu majority India, there wasn't a single hindu temple in its capital for nine centuries starting from 11th century AD to 1936. That's how peaceful Islam is.

Yeah, Jesus existing is a debated topic. I personally don't think he existed but to each their own.

As long as someone's faith doesn't harms anyone, I don't care what they believe in.

You cannot reshape belief system of a continent-sized region through sword. Even Mongols could not.
Even in the case of Conquest of Makkah when Holy Prophet (PBUH) had sufficient military might and capacity at his disposal to take revenge on a large number of his enemies concentrated in one place, he chose not to. Makkah was the stronghold of barbaric pagan arabs at the time.
