From a historical prespective; ancient Arabs were mostly sexist and nomadic tribes that even buried their own daughters alive; until Islam came from Allah and transformed these people into a golden new age of prosperity, marking history forever.
Nice video! Thank you for sharing.
Your interpretation is clearly not what we see.
Yes, the Arabian Peninsula was split up by many tribes with their infighting and Islam brought some semblance of unity to them.... not unlike the unity that the video shows Judaism bringing.
Islam, however, seems to have brought with it the divine sanctioning of many of the old sexist (and not only) practices... I can understand how that would be far more palatable to those tribes than Judaism, making it stick more.
Still, the stories claim that Islam was spread in Arabia mostly by war and conquest.
Once all the fighting among the Arabian tribes was done, it was time to bring the fight to the rest of the world... because why not? Like with most religions, you gain god brownie points when you enforce your beliefs upon others, right?
It's as if god is incapable of providing its message in a peaceful and clear way to everyone on the planet at the same time and needs the help of warring people to do that.
