If Islam is a religion of peace why did it expand through military conquests?

[Chad32]

You didn't read the part where Yahweh kills, or orders to kill, so many people for not following him? Or when Jesus said he comes not to bring peace, but a sword, to set families apart? Or to not suffer witches to live, and it's better to drown someone than let them lead you away from christ? Maybe you just picked up on the cozy parts. I know a lot of people do.

I'm not sure Yahweh would say that in Deuteronomy before he sends his people to slaughter villages and take the virgins for wives. I'm pretty sure Joshua chased some people around, and Yahweh somehow stopped the sun in the sky so that he could continue the chase.

Morals change over time. That's why ideas like slavery and genocide are illegal now, despite being encouraged by the bible. There is no infallible moral system, and the American judicial system knows this because we don't marry rape victims to their rapists or own human beings anymore.

No I didn't find the exact passages, but if you insist will look for them. The old testament was not a book about love and peace and tolerance to everyone on earth. You'd have to excuse a lot of mass murder to start thinking that. If they needed land, they should have been provided uninhabited land.
