| How Did Islam Become Popular?
It seems pretty clear how Christianity got a foothold in Western societies. It started off in the second century as an offshoot cult. When Constantine converted the Roman Empire to Christianity, the religion had the power of government swords behind it. It was only a matter of time before the people not only adopted it but new generations just assumed that's the way it always was.
But what is the history of Islam -- how did it become such a dominate force in the Middle East? Anybody know?
