There are two questions. Let's answer them in turn.
How did the Mongols expand their empire through warfare?
The Mongols were very skilled in the art of war, especially cavalry movements. Mongols, by nature of their society in the Steppes, had become avid horsemen and were knowledgeable concerning battle since they often had fights with one another. When Genghis Khan was able to unite all of the Mongols under one banner, the amount of equipped Mongols was immense.
Light cavalry (which was the dominant Mongol attack force) easily routed armies by outmaneuvering them on the open plains and violently massacring all who opposed them. This increased the fear of non-Mongols of the Mongol advance and made them more willing to surrender. With the exception of the Ismailis in Iran and the Mamluks in modern Israel, they suffered no major loss and the Ismailis were later defeated anyway.
How did the Abbasid Caliphate expand using religion?
The Abbassid Caliphate did not expand their empire through religion. The Abbassid Caliphate fought several wars to maintain their borders and even enslaved Turkish boys to fight their wars for them. (These slaves were called the Mamluks and they eventually rose up against the Abbassids and created their own empires.)
The Abbassid Caliphate helped to expand the religion of Islam both through unequal policies towards non-Muslims (which can be read about in the Related Question below) and by engaging in trade and diplomatic missions to distant countries. These missions spread the concepts and beliefs of Islam to other countries.

Who was Ghengas Khan?
Ghengis Khan became famous by superior miltary might and thinking. Ghengis Khan introduced a new way of fighting much as the American Indians did against the settlers, whereas the Indians fought behind rocks, the Mongols kept prisoners and kept special workers such as engineers and scribes. Ghengis Khan killed all aristicratic lineage so they could not rise back and betray them. He used the chinise engineers to create siege machines and prisoners as slaves to use for body shields. He used unconvential thinking to destro towns, in one tale the Mongols built a wall around a town so they could not come in or out. They swept through Asia capturing towns and causing Hell as they went they went all the way to Japan but they get hit by bad weather and they weren't ship builders and lost huge numbers. If you would like to know more about the Mongols you shold read Mr. Weatherford's book, "Ghengis Khan and the Making of the Modern World."

How many people were Islamic in 1000 AD?
It's really hard to find accurate demographic information from so long ago, as even today not all places keep records of religious affiliation. However, at the peak of Rashidun Caliphate in 654 AD, about 40 million people or 19 percent of the world's population lived under Muslim rule. Most of these people became Muslim, as they were either Arabs who had come with the invading Arab armies or the progeny of these invaders, or they were forced to convert to Islam, or religious persecution under Islamic rule convinced them to convert to Islam. So we can say that less than 19% of the world in 654 AD was Muslim. Under the Ummayad Caliphate from 661-750 this increased, through further Muslim conquests, to 62 million people or nearly 29% of the world's population. Under the Abbasid Caliphate, which began in 750 and continued until 1517 when it fell to the Ottomans, the Muslims experienced a golden age and there was increased Arabization throughout the Caliphate. We can conclude an even larger percentage of people became Muslim throughout the empire at this time. At its demographic zenith in 850 AD, 50 million people lived in the Abbasid Caliphate or roughly 20% of the world's population. The majority were Muslim. So... we can estimate that somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 million Muslims were living around 1000 AD, and they made up about 20% of the world's population. Which is the same percentage they make up today. Hmm... for being the world's "fastest growing religion," it sure has not grown much in the last 1162 years... and actually, compared to the percentages in the 7th Century, Islam has shrunk.
