Islam is a religious, political and military movement alltogether. The religion works as strong motivation to either the conquest from within of a country (politics) or the military invasion. In the early centuries of Islamic expansionism, the military conquest was the prevalent way of subjugating other conutries and Empires. From the very first beginning, Islam had been supported by the military conquests. The conquest of the (modern day) Arabian peninsula was conducted under the military leadership of Muhammad, but after his death, other leaders (caliphs) took over and got along the military invasion of all North Africa and the Hispanic peninsula, the Levant, Persia, Afghanistan, Central Asia, etc. The invasions was halted in the west by Franks counterattack (Battle of Poiters and Toulouse) and in the East by a Federation of Hindus kingdoms (Battle of Rajasthan, in 738).
Once the countries were subdue, the muslims retained the status of conquerers in order to implement a religious-aparthed, while the native populations was treated as second class citizens, with almost no rights than paying taxes to the islamic masters.
Under the pressure of duress, the native started to convert in order to escape the religious-apartheid status, starting from the poorest classes.
