@Ren_kekw Muhammed and his followers were abused and kicked out of Mecca because provoked the pagans and was denouncing their gods and ordering them to convert to Islam. Something to note, they were never enslaved or killed worldwide because they were localized in a single location in Arabia at that time of the persecution. He and his followers were refugees and moved to Medina, a Jewish city. From the money he gained from his peaceful religion stealing from and killing Meccan caravans he amassed wealth. The Quran legitimizes this practice through verse 2:191 "persecution is worse than slaughter." The more wealth he accumulated the more people joined. Muhammed enslaved or killed all the Jews in Medina and gained more followers and once he accumulated an army he returned to Mecca and forced them to convert to Islam or die, rinse and repeat for the rest of Arabia until his death. And they did in fact kill over religious differences, verse 9:5 aka the sword verse, allows and encourages the killing of pagans and infidels i.e. anyone that isn't a Muslim.
