I would expect Rape and other crimes in mass scale by later muslim empire but defiantly not by Early Caliphs since it is strictly forbidden in islam to commit such crimes. Indans Hindus and western propagandists love reinventing history to defame Islam in anyway possible.
You could be right. But rape was a common war occurence. An invading army uptill modern times almost always indulged in it to subjugate the conquered people. If you are trying to use religious edicts as defense for Caliphate armies how would you justify the expansionist policies? The Caliphate came to rule much of North Africa, Spain, the Middle east and Sind by way of war and not some inheritance. Was war and violence for land grab and expansionism condoned in Islam?
