The most accurate statement regarding the growth of Islam and Christianity in the Middle East between 300 and 1500 CE is:

During this time, Islam became the dominant religion in the region. Christianity was less established in the Middle East during this time, but its influence was still felt during the Crusades.

Islam emerged in the 7th century CE and rapidly expanded throughout the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond, becoming the dominant religion. While Christianity had an earlier presence, especially with the Roman Empire's establishment of it as a major religion, by the 1500s, Islam played a more significant role in shaping the religious and cultural landscape of the region. Christianity's influence remained, particularly during the Crusades (11th to 13th centuries), but Islam's ascendancy was marked by the establishment of various Islamic empires, such as the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates.
