Partially why the Islamic Empire had no trouble spreading so far either in the early days.

Did you look that up on Wikipedia too
This is stuff I knew before I looked on Wikipedia. I just can't seem to cut and paste my brain, and this is the easiest lay out to search from.
Thanks for fact checking though. Certainly people don't know much some times when they start cutting and pasting. This happens with life. It's just easier to call bull shit here.
I try to only use Wiki for things I want to talk about such as this that jive with my understanding of the subject. But then I suppose all books could be tainted to a degree themselves.
I'd like to add to what Dubtrice said, and say take everything you read with a grain of salt and source the sources.
