Answer 1

If this is concerning the Islamic Conquests, the main supporters of the conquest from within the conquered territories were religious and ethnic minorities that had been marginalized by the rulers of those states. Jews were among the most welcoming, being repressed by both the Orthodox Christian Byzantine Empire and the Zoroastrian Sassanid Empire. There was also a lesser degree of repression of different Christian groups (especially heretical sects) in the Byzantine Empire, leading those groups to support Arab invasion to a lesser degree. The system of tolerance for religious minorities under the Muslim Arabs was superior to that under either the Byzantine Empire or the Sassanid Empire, but was still a form of apartheid by modern standards.

Answer 2

Some people welcomed historically the Arab armies for two reasons:

  • First, the Arab armies were instructed not to kill a woman, a child, an old man, or an ill one or even to cut a tree or burn a home.
  • Second, the Arab armies took care of the minorities and never forced them to convert to Islam. They only asked what is called "Jezia" to be paid by the non Muslim who is capable of joining the army (not the child, not the woman, not the old man, ... etc.) to be exempted from joing the military. That is why currently no Jezia is paid as the Arabic army include all religions and faiths. It was never done in Muslim countries what is called apartheid as done in USA, South Africa, and Australia some time ago. This explains why the Christians in Egypt asked Muslims to invade Egypt to relive them from the Romans who were against Christianity at that time.

Why might women in Arab society have welcomed Islam?

Islamic Sources argue that the position of women in Pre-Islamic Arab Society was very weak. The most commonly cited example of this is that female daughters were buried alive by their fathers since men were preferred. As a result, Islam, which gave women a better position than being buried alive, was welcomed. Islamic Sources also argue that women were convinced by the miraculous and logical arguments of Islam (just like men).
