Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Islam allows war in self-defence (Qur’an 22:39), to defend Islam (rather than to spread it), to protect those who have been removed from their homes by force because they are Muslims (Qur’an 22:40), and to protect the innocent who are being oppressed (Qur’an 4:75).

Detailed explanation-2: -There are many reasons why Islam spread so quickly. First Mecca was connected to many global trade routes. Another important reason was their military conquered lots of territory. A third factor was the Muslims fair treatment of conquered peoples.

Detailed explanation-3: -Although some religions are fighting over doctrinal differences, most conflict stems from more secular causes-a desire for political power, a struggle for resources, ethnic rivalries, and economic competition. The Israel/Palestine conflict is a struggle over territory, resources, and political recognition.

Detailed explanation-4: -Two justifications for jihad were given: defensive war against external aggression, or an offensive or preemptive attack against an enemy state.
