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?
Well if Jesus was Yahweh, and he obviously had some different things to say compared to what was told in the old testament, where's the apology? His views didn't line up exactly as they once did. There are times when Jesus didn't act like he was the same person as the guy upstairs. His thought of "Let not my will, but your will, be done" is a pretty good example. They couldn't even get that part straight, not that they got much straight with this story given the inconsistencies with the books that speak of his birth, death, and resurrection.

If Yahweh inspired people to write something, and they got something wrong, then it's Yahweh's fault for not proofreading what was written or making himself clear enough. Why were there tribal wars for land when Yahweh could have just given them uninhabited land? Because it wasn't about just taking land.

They killed the women who had known men, so I'm pretty sure virgin meant virgin. Not just young woman.

What makes you think Yahweh is the benchmark? all you have is stories written by men, eventually compiled into a bible that doesn't fit much of what modern audiences believe is right or wrong. Look, I can be self centered sometimes too, just like Yahweh, but I don't go around killing people for not following me.

You can't have a guy that can't be understood my mortals, and then say with absolute certainty that he's the very definition of good.

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