I actually doubt islam would exist if christianity didn't as islam is heavily based on christianity, and the hindus are notably un-evangelical. Infact most pagan relgions are alot more tolerant then christianity was historically. Also bear in mind, the "they burn babies" was pretty much the go to line for ancient propaganda. So while a few did commit human sacrifice, the vast majority did not. Also on a very interesting note, those that did commit human sacrifice, it was considered an honor and was done by volunteers. These volunteers where then treated as heros. Not pretty, but prettier then the bloody verdict of verdun.
Islam was based on one mans desire to dominate and rule what he understood to be the world. To do this he had to Illegitimize Christianity not base his religion on it. Rather he returned to Judaism and strict pharisaical legalism to drive his religion, not the freedom found in Christianity.
