Islam seems to have been content to occupy about one fourth of the world and expand at a slow pace.
Lynn, Islam wasn’t “content” to stop expanding; it did so because it was stopped by superior military forces. The only reason we aren’t all bowing to Allah today was because they were stopped at the Gates of Vienna and their spread into Europe was halted. And the technologically advanced Christian Europeans colonized the New World, so Islam was unable to get a foothold here or in South America. But being “content” with their little corner of the globe had absolutely nothing to do with it. They stopped expanding when someone else stopped them.
Now they’re expanding again, because the West has weakened both demographically and militarily (in Europe).
