Islam united Arabia which founded an empire. With no Islam there is no union or empire, just a patchwork interior tribes and coastal kingdoms, who worship of Mazdaism and Animism.

The Turks were a imperialistic sort of people. OK, they would stay Tenganist and not go Muslim, but then Genghis Khan was Tengranist and we all know what he did.... A Tengri worshiping Anatolian/Crimean Ottoman Emptier of sorts would occur at some point.
