Everyone knows the rapid expansion of Islam in the 7th and 8th centuries was do to military conquest. It is documented history, even Islamic history.

Yes, many conversions were due to the forceful personality of Muhammed, his wisdom and talents. But also with the lure of fortune for those who succeeded in conquest, for their own safety and the promise of salvation for those who died fighting for Islam. Caravan raids became full scale wars. Assasinations, beheadings, slavery, expulsions, ransoms, destruction of idols and 10,000 men armies all led to “conversion”. I’m not making this up, it’s out there for all to read. So what part do I (or recorded history) have wrong?

So…All this happened when one man (Mohammed :saw: ) carried a sword against thousands and millions of unbelievers?

This alone is proof of the power of divine message…

And please, provide documented proofs of ‘Muslim conquests’…
