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

There is no "religion of peace." Religions are inherently belligerent.

They're conquering it non-militarily from within mainly through reproduction so that's the peaceful way of doing it and they're probably going to succeed. There still a few Jihadists but I'm sure if they're deviants to the faith or kind harking back to how the faith began to start with.
I call it cultural Jihad because they are using political correctness to silence opposition to their Jihad. They are slowly taking over our culture.

It would be our own fault for not having enough children to sustain our population size. The Western world is starting to age rapidly, apart from the USA which is just about holding steady.

I love how RD nails him with the question and doesn't allow him to slither away.

He seemed to have difficulty saying the word apostasy for some reason.

You sound like a Southern Republican.....the kind that says "Speak Engrish."
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Some people who follow religions are belligerent but that doesn't mean the religion itself is meant to be generally they're not supposed to be. Islam is slightly tricky because you do have initial massive conquest of land and people element I can't help noticing. Christianity did this a little bit eventually with the Crusades but that was on a much smaller scale, focused around here.

There was some Jewish conquest in the Old Testament as well of course, though this was just a conquest of a small amount of land for one people. Archaeology doesn't find much evidence evidence for it but if it happened this way.

Then you get to Islam and holy shit. This is seems like a bid at global conquest they didn't quite manage because they were fought back.

I'm interested to know what moderate Muslims would make of all this given that emphasis they place on the peaceful element.

I can guarantee the Torah was not a book that spoke of peace, unless there's some big difference between what the Jews learn and what the first 2/3 of the bible is. Jesus did try to teach peace and tolerance, though he said some non peaceful things too.
