How would this impact your personal belief, though? The New Testament condemns violence and conquest constantly

If anybody ever looked on Islam in the same way.
Aside the Qur'an encourages conquest and taxxing non Muslims, as well as enforcing an arab way of life
Do you have a source to that? There is a lot of mistranslation. Also old testament not looking good either....
Surah 8:38-41
Tell the disbelievers that if they desist, their past will be forgiven. But if they persist, then they have an example in those destroyed before them.
Fight against them until there is no more persecution—and ˹your˺ devotion will be entirely to Allah. But if they desist, then surely Allah is All-Seeing of what they do.
And if they do not comply, then know that Allah is your Protector. What an excellent Protector, and what an excellent Helper!
Know that whatever spoils you take, one-fifth is for Allah and the Messenger, his close relatives, orphans, the poor, and ˹needy˺ travellers, if you ˹truly˺ believe in Allah and what We revealed to Our servant on that decisive day when the two armies met ˹at Badr˺. And Allah is Most Capable of everything.
Allah will judge and destroy them, not the reader.
"fight against them" "whatever spoils you take"
Muslims are also taxed, even more so than non muslims, so it isn’t in a discriminatory way
