| The rashidun caliphate conquered quite a bit, I will give you that. I believe the Mongols took over more land, however, I know nothing of the military of Arabia at the time of the rashidun caliphate so i cannot compare the two militaries. So I will do more extensive research on them, before I decide who is better. |

| Are we talking about conquest or military tradition because Khalid ib'n Walid wins hands down. |

| And I agree, I am a Christian, but the Christian church back then was evil, and manipulated many more people than the Muslims at the time |

Khalid ib'n Walid liberated Iraq from the Persians, conquered part of Iran, Conquered Syria (greater syria) and defeated Rome in the Middle East forever.
He fought in over 100 battles and won each and every single last one from pre-islamic times even.

| I would have to research him before I make a decision on this. I admit you were right about the best civilization overall as I posted in that thread, but I don't know about this one. |

| a army of mainly berbers (with some arabs and a few blacks) led by a berber the reinforcements sent by musa were mostly the same as tariq's party but numbered in 10,000 and it is debatable that musa himself even led the reinforcements, some historians think that he just sent a berber to lead them then arrived the following year |
