I don't recall the part where he launched military campaigns on non-Muslims precisely because they were not Muslims. I do recall him invading Mecca because of his pissyness over the Treaty of Hudabiyyah and later Arabia after the confederate tribes mobilized an army larger than his own and prepared to invade him in turn out of their anti-Meccan politics.
