I understand.
Is wikipedia good enough for you, then?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spread_of_Islam
Quote:These early caliphates, coupled with Muslim economics and trading and the later expansion of the Ottoman Empire, resulted in Islam's spread outwards from Mecca towards both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the creation of the Muslim world. Trading played an important role in the spread of Islam in several parts of the world, notably southeast Asia.[2[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spread_of_Islam#cite_note-2][/url]
And moreover, are modern Muslim immigrants came to Europe and the U.S through AK-47s or through the embassy of the country ? all of them -literally all- came as refugees and immigrants, admitted formally and legally by the country they visit.
so ??
And yet again your source doesn't actually support your point. The early Muslim movement was not what you paint it to be, even according to your own source.
As Khem has already noted, your article starts with these very words, "Early Muslim conquests in the years following Muhammad's death led to the creation of the caliphates, occupying a vast geographical area."
You're as bad as Drich in quoting sources that don't support you as if they did support you, so you can remain on the bench.
(and for what it's worth, even if it did support you, it wouldn't be a particularly good source because topics such as the spread of Islam often become battlegrounds for partisan interest on Wikipedia, with the greater zeal of zealots often prevailing over cooler heads. But we don't have to consider that in this case, anyway.)
