How did the Umayyads expand the reach of Islam through both conquest and culture?
Conquest: The Umayyads supervised the conquest of the Shiite territories in the east (such as southern Iraq and Persia), the conquest of eastern Anatolia, and the conquest of the Maghreb and Andalucia (modern Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and Spain). Culture: The Umayyad Dynasty was not known for its cultural ascendancy, that belonged to the later Abbassid Dynasty. The Umayyads did lead to the conversion of many Maghrebis to Islam on account of the prevalent "to the victor's religion mentality". They also instituted a number of policies to make conversion more appealing for imperial subjects, but this was an issue of laws, not of culture.

Were people unhappy with the Umayyad's rule because the Umayyads favored Shiites?
No. Under the Sunni Umayyads, Shiites were quite strongly discriminated against. After Yazid I martyred Hussein, the Shiites made it their mission in life to oppose every action of the Umayyad dynasty. It did not help matters that the Umayyads tortured and murdered Shiite Imams and Infallibles, leading to irreconcilability between the Shiites and the Umayyads.The anger happened specifically because Umayyads targeted Shiites and Mawali Sunnis (Sunnis who were not Arabs) for violence. They also had issues with control over the vast distances of their empire as well as noble Arab families that resented the Umayyads' rise and wanted power. (One of these rival families was the Abbassids, who would eventually take power from the Umayyads in a coup d'etat.)
Is that theme is succeded?
