I guess you could assume that only b/c there hasn't been a caliphate to organize mass killings.
however....see the Armenian Genocide around WWI time (that would essentially be during the last caliphate...Ottoman Empire)

Maybe it's relative - it is not being spread - by the sword - at the rate it was during the Arab and Turkish expansions.
ISIS, for example, is operating primarily is areas previously controlled by other Muslims - although they are engaging in ethnic cleansing.
But, territorial/population expansions - by the sword - have slowed significantly over the past 200 years. I didn't say "stopped" and I didn't mean to imply the general growth of Islam isn't continuing.
I was addressing the spread of Islam - by the sword.

Modernization and liberalization also plays a role. White europeans (not in the name of Christianity) slaughtered millions within the last 75 years.
