Doesn’t much matter what you argue, the fact is that Mad Mo’s march of conquest converted infidels in whole sale lots at the threat of the sword, much as still occurs in sub-saharan Africa.
Or are you of the belief that the benevolent and just Mad Mo, said something on the order of, “Okay, all those that want to convert, line up on the left to register for Islam 101 classes. We’ll test you on our return to Damascus.”
“Okay all those that don’t, KYAG and prepare to die!”
And that remains at the core of fundamental (read orthodox) Islam, despite the efforts by disinformation efforts by those that wish to portray it as the religion of peace so as to lull the gullible in the west.
Read the Koran, the only book that’s necessary. (according to their lights)
goodnight.
