Relationships with the West--Sofi

Relationships with the West
The relationship between Islam and Christianity has been a controversial one.
Although Islam encourages the study of the prophets of all religions, Christianity for the most part does not. So as the muslims began to spread towards the West, the Church decided to declare them infidels, and spread lies and rumors about them. Like that they worshipped Muhammed as a god, and that muslims were violent etc. Lately other civilizations have more respect for Islam, and have began to study it more.

The Spread of Islam By: Lucy V.

-Islam combined spiritual and secular power uner one ruler. This helped unify the warring tribes of the area. Islam expanded during the centuries after the Prophet's death.
-Ummah became a community that spread from Africa to hte Indonesia.
-Muhammad's non-violent takeover of Mecca occurred only two years before he died. Whe he died, a newly converted Qurayshite, Khalid ibn al-Walid, commanded a series of campaigns that within seven had claimed the entire Arabian Peninsula and Syria for Islam.
