Yes as the other person said, Islam was spread by the sword, I believe this religion will meet a bloody end. We are told in the Holy Bible that those who live by the sword will die by the sword.
The very fact that this religion needed to be forced upon people, suggests tat it’s a false and wicked religion.

The sword was an excellent weapon; you’ll notice muzzles still wave it about.

Slavery -Sahih Muslim 8:29: IT IS PERMISSIBLE TO HAVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH A CAPTIVE WOMAN AFTER SHE IS PURIFIED (OF MENSES OR DELIVERY) IN CASE SHE HAS A HUSBAND, HER MARRIAGE IS ABROGATED AFTER SHE BECOMES CAPTIVE.

Maybe the best book, complete and comprehensive, that will help you the most, especially if it is an open book test because of all the references, footnotes, maps, bibliography, appendices etc, is The Legacy of Jihad edited by Andrew G. Bostom with over 700 pages.
It has been peer reviewed and given kudos for its comprehensive and objective study of the expansion of Islam.
It is easily read by the lay person with table of content and index of persons, places and words to help you find answers quickly.
It was published in 2005 and contains many of the modern controversial issues related to Islam.

There were 2 periods in the life of Islam, the peaceful time when Mohammed tried to persuade people of the truth of his revelation and the violent time when took control by force. This was the time of rapid expansion. In the Koran this is reflected in the by the existance of both peaceful and warlike verses. So, for example sura 9 abrogates the peaceful verses that came earlier and were conciliatory. This is why Bin Laden and the terrorist followers are the true Muslims.

islam
Peace
Between You & Allah
“Peace” is mentioned 58 times in the Holy Quran and it is certainly the most sought after condition for the life of every human on earth.
“Peace” is also one of the attributes which Allah has named Himself by in the Holy Quran:
“He is Allah beside Whom there is none worthy of worship, The King, The Holy, The Peace, The Watcher, The All Mighty, The Compeller, The Supreme. Glory be to Allah! He is above all that they try to associate with Him as partners.” [Holy Quran 59:23]

Ultimately, the sword.
The religion was not spread by Muslim missionaries, despite how much the Islamic community wants everyone to believe.
No, Muhammad was a warlord who led many aggressive battles against pagans, Jews, and Christians. His Companions only continued this pattern of conquest after his death. Rather than stick around their holy cities of Mecca and Medina they continued to plunge forward throughout the surrounding land…killing and pillaging.
Those people who would not convert from Judaism or Christianity to Islam were subject to a hefty tax. Polytheists were simply killed.
