What experts have said about Islam

3 statements · 1 positive · 2 negative

  1. Islam spread primarily through organization, motivation, military power, social ties, and possibly favorable weather.

    “the organization, the motivation, the military spirit, the family and social connections, and maybe, although we don't know, something about the weather in Saudi Arabia during Muhammad's lifetime. Those rather than theological beliefs I see as the reason behind Islam's spread.”
