Judaism and Christianity do, Islam goes with same story as pre-Islamic monotheists of Arabia in which world and universe was created in stages+splitting of heavens and earth.
Yup Islam did spread as the first Caliphate expanded but the conversions of the local population were not "instantaneous and bloody" as our Njemački friend is trying to portray. First Caliphate was based on having an educated elite ruling class providing superior form of government/services to the "infidel" masses in exchange of their loyalty, extra taxes and to be called into service depending on the need of the Caliphate. With the numbers of converts rising trough longer period of time to improve their standing in the society. Bluntly put it if Caliphate practiced "convert or die" policy Islam would have died out in decades after leaving it's Arabian womb.
