No worries, you're entitled to your opinion. The following statement is taken from the article in [1].

The noted historian De Lacy O'Leary wrote: "History makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myths that historians have ever repeated." [1]

And definitely not imposed on newly conquered lands, where temples were broken, and mosques built on the ruins, using the same stone.
