>O people of Arabia i have been sent with revelations from Allah!
*Cricket sounds*
>O men of Arabia! Whoever straps on his sword and follows me shall get much war booty, 72 smoking hot babes in heaven, and many sex slaves from all the caravans we'll capture. It's from Allah btw.
ALLAHU ACKBAR!!!!
Rinse and repeat until you've conquered a good base of followers, build an army, then invade a neighboring province. If you can afford to replace the conquered peoples (like in the sparsely populated Arabian peninsula) then offer them the choice between the sword or Islam. If you can't afford to replace them (Ethnic Arabs were numerically tiny compared to Egypt, Levant, Persia, Anatolia, etc) then instate a dhimmi protectorate system and slowly convert them with tax breaks and occasional sectarian violence as a carrot and stick strategy. Hope this helps in your future endeavors, and may Allah strengthen your hand (and your Zutthole).
