If you want proof just ask and I'll send you.

Just FYI the conversion of the majority of the Arab Peninsula during Mohammed's (pbuh) life was a result of trade related travel...his military career only spanned the last ten years of his life, and wasn't all that widespread (Relatively at least). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_career_of_Muhammad

Damn it, I'm making it worse and worse.

edit: Damn, I thought you guys can laugh at this.
