"how can you explain this legend bro???"

The actual part about the convertion is heavily different every time its told from what I see

that's from oral islamic tradition

but hindu texts verify that some people saw the splitting, apparently

Hindu texts verify his conversion, not the splitting I believe

it's still incredibly odd

Not really

Conversions to Islam weren't rare

this man converted while muhammad was still alive. this religion had no legitimate ground

how is that not odd

Do you not understand how the growth of Islam was back then? Muhammad expanded it at insane speeds, people were rather charismatic at that time, they followed expanding movements.

Muhammad was a powerful warlord who by that time conquered a ton, of course it had ground

you're not very familiar with early islamic history it seems

nothing you said is particularly wrong but you do seem to have a incorrect underlying narrative

islam expanded immensely at first - with the arabs

most people didn't become muslims until centuries after, even in caliphatian lands

they had to cope and say that zoroastrians were people of the book

because iran was too zoroastrian and they couldn't kill them all

why did you send me this map?

I'm not saying the Islamic world stopped expanding after Muhammad

I'm saying it was clearly an established thing

i didn't think you were saying that

Then why did you bother with that response

i said that this religion was bullshit in the eyes of the outside world at this point in time

Not really

This was at the end of Muhammads life

yes

they had conquered west arabia and oman

Yes

these regions are shitholes now, let alone then

the fucking ethiopians conquered arabia before them

The ethiopians are based.

Sure?

I don't know how you think this is rare though

the whole thing you tried to prove with the posting of that map is that islam was a powerful and legitimate religion at that point

It unequivocally was

it wasn't. it was still a fringe movement, especially for someone who isn't a middle easterner

You assert this with no reason

i gave you the reasons

You did not, you said he conquered a shithole, the entire world was a shithole at that point
