Best Answer

Most of the lands conquered by Muslim armies were not for the sake of spreading Islam. They were mostly defensive wars. In some cases the local people invited the Muslims to liberate them from the yoke of the dictatorial rules of their cruel kings. As a matter of fact no nation should rule another nation without her will. All nations and peoples should live peacefully respecting the sovereignty of others. No country should invade the lands of others.

There is no specific piece of land that Christians want that Muslims have. Christians want Islamic Countries to legalize proselytization of non-Islamic faiths and equalize the treatment of non-Muslims. This is what the Muslims control that Christians would like the power to reverse.
