The Islamic Empire grew pretty much the same way that the 'Christian' empire did. They took over by force, ordered the inhabitants to convert or face punishment, which more often than not was NOT the death sentence. It was often punitive taxes etc. Most of the 'heathens' (ie native religions) felt that conversion was often the better part of faithfulness. However, unlike Islam the Roman Catholic empire often allowed the previous Gods to be worshipped as saints, quite often under the same names and ceremonies.
