Question

One reason Islam was able to spread so easily when Muslim leaders captured new territories was that: A. non-Muslims were typically killed or exiled. B. Christians and Jews already had similar beliefs. C. education and medical services were made available only to Muslims. D. Islam became more open to adjusting its beliefs to suit new followers.​

Answer 1

The reason Islam was readily accepted in captured territories was because B. Christians and Jews already had similar beliefs.

Spread of Islam

• After the death of Muhammed, Muslims spread out from Arabia and conquered much of North Africa and Southern Europe.
• This allowed them to convert many to their cause.

The areas that were captured were mostly under Christian dominance which made assimilation to Islam easier as both Christians and Muslims share similar belief such as monotheism and being descended from Abraham.

In conclusion, option B is correct.
