Answer 3
It may be that this is what true Islam is about and that it sometimes spreads for these reasons. However, what the questioner asked was: "What distinguished THE FIRST CENTURIES OF ISLAMIC HISTORY...?"
It is a historical fact that the first three centuries of Islam were centuries of conquest. People with the title "caliph" gathered armies, conquered the whole of the Christian Middle East & North Africa and Buddhist South Asia, replaced the existing political systems with a Muslim state, and offered the inhabitants the options of conversion, jizya or death.
It would be really nice to believe that those brutal conquerors were fake Muslims who didn't understand the message of the Qur'an. I am so glad that you and your friends are better people than that.

Then the broad reach of Islam generated many of the greatest cultural encounters. Islamic civilization challenged and provoked Christendom, penetrated and was transformed by African cultures, and also took root in India, Central Asia, Southeastern Asia. The spread o Islam continued in this modern era, perhaps 1.2 billion people identified as Muslims. In comparison with Buddha, Jesus, and Muhmmad they both reflected onn prevailing patriarchal values, even as they both offered women new opportunities. Muhmmad and Jesus both beliebed in one god, while Muhmmad called his god "Allah." They both also were messengers of religious subjects. Christanity, Islamic, and Buddhism believed in a moral society.
