The point is even when Islam had the means, it mostly didn't keep pace with Christianity, except for 1 relative brief period.
I think it is fair to say that before the end of the 17th century, Islam had the means to be as violent and forcefully aggressive as Christianity in expansion. But only during 7-9 centuries were Islam actually more violent and forceful in proselytizing then Christianity. Starting from the 11th century, Christianity had Islam beat hands down in bloody expansionism.
