It's a thinly disguised political ideology masquerading as a religion. A power hungry warlord made it up early in the seventh century. He was looking to acquire more territory. The rule was simple, convert or die. Survivors were often castrated, raped and enslaved. You went to school you heard about the 10 crusades. If you learn your history, those crusades were in response to over 2,000 incursions by the Muslims on European soil. Today the face of the religion is often shaped by the media, for you to consume. In reality the local imams are in control of what they're worshipers think, what roles they follow and how they behave. You'll find plenty more by plugging that question into a search engine. Have fun with it.
