Hi
Islam spread peacefully in many parts of the world.

Balawaristan has a 100 per cent Muslim population. However, Pakistan follows an unstated policy of accepting only the Wahabi sect among Muslims. The religious affiliation of Balawaristan was with Afghanistan, Central Asia, Kashghar, Yarkand of China and Kashmir.
The first person to spread Islam in Balawaristan was Syed Shah Afzal of Badakhshan, Afghanistan. He entered the state of Yasen and spread Islam among the people of Yasen in 725 AD. The people of Yasen were the first to embrace Ismailia Islam in this region. Shah Salim spread Islam in Hunza in 1800-21. The people of Tangir/Darel embraced Sunni Islam after 1890. Syed Mohammad Noor Bux came to Khapoolo Baltistan in 1464, and preached the Noor Buxi Islam. Syed Ali Tusi and Syed Nasir Tusi came to Baltistan, and spread Shia Islam in 17th century. The last people of Balawaristan to embrace Sunni Islam were the people of Chilas, in 1868.
The ratio of different Islamic sects in this region is: 45 per cent Shia, 25 per cent Sunni, 20 per cent Ismailia and 10 per cent Noor Buxi. Sunnis are in majority in Dardistan (Diamar), Shia in Baltistan and Nagir, Noor Buxi in Baltistan (Ghanchhe, Khapoolo) and Ismailia in Brooshaal (Yasen, Hunza, Pooyaal, Ishkomen and Goopes). There was absolute sectarian harmony during the British rule and during the reign of the Maharaja. When Pakistan entered Balwaristan, and treacherously annexed it, a sectarian gap was created among the people of Balawaristan. Ninety per cent of the soldiers of Gilgit Scouts, who liberated Balawaristan from Maharaja, were Shia Imami Ismailia and Shia, while less than 10 per cent were Sunnis. This was also the ratio of those who participated in the Kargil War.

Dr. Rigg states: NOORBAKHSHIS OF BALTISTAN
The Oldest Muslim Community In The Northern Areas Of Pakistan.
Noorbakhshis entered Baltistan from Kashmir and once was the only Muslim sect in the region. The founder of this sect, Sayed muhammad Noorbakhsh came from Iran. His disciple Sayed Shamsuddin Iraqi could be regarded as the real man who spread Noorbakhshism in whole of Baltistan. In this article we would see the historical ups and downs causing rise and fall of this community.
Thanks
