I dont think so...............:)
Re: Peaceful Conquests
That means Hazrat Aurangzeb (RT) didn’t follow Sunna. He just got compiled Fatawa e Aalamgiri

As far as my memory serves, i think conquest of Bait-ul-Muqadas by Salahuddin Ayoubi can be called the one, where the conquerors didn't ordered massacre and revenge inspite of having opportunity, instead he allowed them to live or leave as per their wish.
But the battle itself took a toll...

Yes, I also think so. Another conquest of Baitul Muqaddas in Hazrat Umar's (RA) period also examplory in this regard.
Re: Peaceful Conquests
I would say relatively peacefull conquests would include the first Islamic conquest of Samarkand.
The First and second conquests of Jerusalem by Muslims. As allready mentioned.
Turkish conquest of Baghdad, practically happened without a shot.
The US conquest of Northern Mexico and California was practically bloodless, though the defenders were led by incompetents and perhaps deliberate traitors.
The Conquest by Hitler of Austria was also bloodless.
Even the most bloodthirsty warriors the Mongols under Ghengis had some bloodless conquests but this was due to the city states surrendering at the sight of approaching mongols who's reputations for violence travelled faster.
Re: Peaceful Conquests
^^ By Turkish you mean Othomanies?
Re: Peaceful Conquests
No I meant the original Turks, as in Medieval Gok Turks and Slejuks from the time of the likes of Alp Arsalan, Toghrul Baig and Gokburi Khan.
They were originally like hired guns, the medieval blackwater or special forces as it were. The Arab Caliphs had noticed that thier own soldiers especially the cavalry were of poor quality and the Turks offered better quality men willing to fight for money.
At first the Turks were not Muslims but merely hired swordsmen and archers but over time thier leaders converted and they were stationed in Garrisons out of towns and cities.
An example of one of these Garrison towns was Sammara outside Baghdad. The Turks were devout Muslims and ended up being a lot more dedicated fighters than thier Arab counterparts, the early Abbasids used them to help gain power.
However the Abbasids became more an more corrupt and the Islamic theologians of the time were persecuted, the Turks in the early days were also treated like second class citizens and they were not allowed in the main cities because the Government of the day feared thier powers.
Eventually however the Turks along with the help of the Islamic theologians helped to limit the control and eventually overthrow the ruling elite. When the Turks entered Baghdad and other cities they did so virtually without opposition becuase few palace guards dared to stand up to the barbarians and many of the guards were themselves former barbarian slaves.

Interesting to know that even Hitler and Mongols did some peaceful conquests.
Mongol's rules for forgiving those who voluntarily surrendered is well known. What was the reason behind Hitler's bloodless of Austria?
Re: Peaceful Conquests
^^ I actually like those Turks over Abbasid at any given time, they not only were mere guardian or swordsmen for the Caliph, as a matter of fact it was them who repelled the the first ever attach on Bait-ul-Muaqadas and they by all means have re-started the conquering-phase of Islamic history, they were fine swordsmen and administrators and people of those time normally liked to be ruled by Saljooqs ( Till Malik Shah) or Truks, later on it was Turks again who changed the battle grounds of crusades and took it to the home of crusaders...

A little offtopic, but when did Arabs started hiring Turks?
We read that during the event of Hilla (attack on Makah under Hajaj Bin Yusuf in Yazid's period, there were a group of Zangi soldiers who raped Muslims women of Makkah and when some Arab woman complained and remind Hajaj his Arab identity, he punished them. So who were these Zangis?

Can we include taking over of Paris or France by Hitler in the list? because why my little and limited knowledge tells me is, German only paraded down the France no fierce battle took place...

Is that because they also guaranteed complete surrender?

Turks were hired by Abbasids, Ummayads on the other hand had Berbers and Zangis with them, the famous Zangi history produced were Noor-ud-Din Zangi, the mentor of Salahuddin Ayoubi...
Now if you read arab history, it is evident that whom ever Arab enslaved, ruled them later.. be it Zangis, Kurds, Turks!!!
