The Muslims

The Muslims were followers of the priest Muhammed in the religion Islam. A Muslim's main priority is to contend or to defend the belief in Islam. The Muslims were at first peaceful in spreading the religion, but later became militants and spread Islam by the sword. They spread Islam over the Persian empire, Byzantine Empire, and part of Spain. The land that they conquered became known as the Muslim Empire. The Muslims engaged in many battles during their time.

In fact, they were part of the Crusades later on during the Muslim Empire. The crusades back in the day were a series of battles in which land was either taken or stolen from the Christians or Muslims. For example, the Christians took back Jerusalem during the 1st Crusade.
