No. Most of the middle east was trending or adopting christianity but when the Council of Nicea wanted to impose the religion as if it was law upon the western empire, they converted it such that it was intolerable for the arabs in particular for reasons too many to list. This was the reason for the emergence of islam as a heresy of pre-nicean christianity. The problem fo the arabs was the abusive power of tribal chieftains. Islam gave the people power to displace them. Thus the power of imams but the failure of government throughout the region. Tribalism.

Where in the west, christianity was used as a lever to defeat tribalism, and islam in the middle east to ensure tribalism but without the despotism of tribal rulers. It’s their version of democratization so to speak, where chrstianity was a version of judaism designed to destroy the aristocracy of the western empire – and succeeded. Creating the dark ages.
