teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

One should never pay any attention to what any phenomenon so vile, so unscrupulous, so deceitful, and so opportunistic as to actually attain the status of a religion could have to say.
But if one falls into the cesspit of believing what any religion has to say, one might do worse than believing what each religion has to say about the others, but one could hardly do any worse than to believe what a religion has to say about itself.

"Hurr durr, other people do it too!" Yeah...no shit.
The difference being that none of us have to bullshit ourselves and others about some revisionist "original shape", lol. The original shape of your favorite toy was very much like the shape of is ISIS today. That fact of the matter is independent of your beliefs both about the events of history and what it would mean to be a good muslim.
If you wanted to remain consistent with your modern re-interpretation of magic book, it's religion, and it's founders - it would be far easier and far less infantile to simply contend that early muslims just weren't very good at musliming...even though they were skilled warlords, liars, and slavers.

Still losing your shit.
If the extent of the islamic empire is close to the estimates we have..they did indeed butcher an entire continent to get it...they just spread it out over three continents, is all. Likewise, muslims have committed atrocities with as much zeal and enthusiasm as anyone else in their various engagements. You need to disabuse yourself of the fantasy that the white man has some sort of patent on brutality, and that muslims would just never do such and such.
OFC they would, and have, and will again. The ummah was unremarkable for it's time in what brutality it extended, and it was an impressive military campaign carried out by zealots. That, Atlass, is the original shape of islam, and ISIS.
