Islam hasn't changed since they massacred the Hindus of India, many centuries ago. They start off being as cooperative as possible until the public trusts them with leadership. It's often a moderate who gains control of a new Islamic state. Then they force the moderate to turn hard line, or otherwise replace him. Either the moderate shifts his position from fear, or they spread discord in his country. [Link coming up for the long-ago Hindu massacre...]
