Answer 1

None of the above. Christianity and Islam both experienced significant growth in the Middle East between 300 and 1500 CE. Christianity gradually spread throughout the region, especially after the conversion of Constantine in the 4th century and the establishment of the Byzantine Empire. Islam, on the other hand, emerged in the 7th century and quickly spread across the Arabian Peninsula and beyond, eventually establishing the Islamic Caliphates. Both religions had a significant impact on the religious and cultural landscape of the Middle East during this time period.
