True. Mostly Christians were in the area of Europe with some in Egypt (Still some Coptics there) and Ethiopia. Arabs being in the ME and north Africa. The Arabs already disliked the Jews so Judaism was not an option. So Mohammed started up Islam. Crusading the whole area, join or die.

True, Christianity was the majority religion in what's now Turkey, Syria, Iraq (at least the northern part), Egypt east through north Africa and south to Ethiopia. Those regions were as Christian as Greece, Italy, France. A lot of people don't know this. Armenia and Georgia are still Christian and there are still dwindling minorities of Christians in the Muslim world. There is a theory that Islam is an offshoot of a heretical sect of Nestorian Christianity ... perhaps beginning in the Lakhmid kingdom in what is now Iraq.
