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
i gave you the reasons
You did not, you said he conquered a shithole, the entire world was a shithole at that point
no?
Compared to today yes
the desert was always poorer than everywhere that's... well, not desert. lol.
read yazdegerd III's letter to umar
civilized people literally regarded arabs as lizard eating sand dwelling shitskins
This is the same as any civilization regarding any other civilization. This still isn't even on the level of anecdotal evidence, it's entirely speculation. When you say "I can't explain this" it's simple, he just converted.
Every religion has this story
yes, i can't explain why he converted
what convinced him
It was a charismatic movement
Why did the entire area convert?
which entire area?
The Arabs
i'd reckon either because of legitimate zelaoutry or political reasons
muhammad had a sort of "kill all pagans policy"
Mass convertion tends to lend credibility to charismatic, that's what I'm saying
when he destroyed the idols in mecca and nothing bad happened i'm sure that left an impression on the pagan arabs
If all of India converted, I'd possibly believe it
