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

RE: If Islam is a religion of peace why did it expand through military conquests?
Providing for widowed women? Firstly, these weren't widows. They were virgins, and the only reason they'd have trouble finding men is that someone came, killed her friends and family, stole their stuff, and dragged her off to be raped. Then if she didn't satisfy him enough he could shave her head and throw her out on the street.

We have very different views on what the bible is like. This isn't because I'm making stuff up. It's because I'm not making excuses for a god that lets current human culture dictate what he says is right or wrong. You have this conclusion that Yahweh is a good person, and everything he does is right, so any time his actions don't fit what most civilized people believe is right, you have to make some sort of excuse for it, or maybe say he's mysterious and incomprehensible like other people have said. Incomprehensible, but undeniably good somehow.

It's a confusing book that can be used to justify pretty much everything.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
