On a historical note, all the 'traditional' lands the west has come to
'accept' as Muslim were, by word of mouth persuasion, Christian and
were 'converted' to Islam by the sword. I mention it because that is
the 'model' the fundamentalists believe in and act upon.

True. On the other hand, non Muslims had a much easier time existing
under Muslim rule than non Christians had living under Christian rule.

Which explains buildings like the World Trade Center in New York verses Sand
Huts in Iraq.
Jealousy breeds contempt. The present condition of the World Trade Center
in New York is testimony to the fact.
Since non Muslims in a Muslim rule don't exist, it is easy to say non
Muslims had a much easier time existing, perticularly in that if you don't
bow to Allah, you die.
AND just how many non muslims live in the Coastal town of Babol Sar, Iran ?
Alot less than Long Beach Califonia has in Muslims living in Christian
rule - wihtout a doubt.
2000 years of Muslim rule can't even compare to 200 years of Republic Rule.
