How different would the history of the middle east have been if islam had never flourished and had remained only a historical curiosity?

It would be full of Hapas due to mixing with Turkic Nestorians.

Christianity in the Middle East would become like Islam.

Majority of Afro asiatics would remain under foreign IE rule

There would be some other gnostic or quasi-gnostic syncretic religion like Manichaeism which was already dominant in the middle east before Islam syncretized it.

Modern Iran has been underpinned by Shia Islam to give unity to various Turko-Iranians.
The Iranian rule would have been accepted by the wider range of Turko-Iranians, if Shia-Sunni spiritual barriers hadn't existed.

Ah yes, the Sassanids known for their harems of women, certainly gayer than the Romans and their pedastry. You know what they say about Caesar, every woman's man and every man's woman.
