There are only about 13 millions in the whole world. Some Megacities have more inhabaitants. They weren't exactly successful in spreading their belief, since they were under the thumb of the other two Abrahamic religions.
That's also why Robert's assumption that Arabs embraced judaism or christianity before Islam came along, is just flat out wrong. Christianity and judaism kept, as far as the Middle East is concerned, to the coastlines of the Mediterranean, or the borders of the Roman empire. Sure, there were Arabs in that regions too, but the part we now call Saudi Arabia never saw a Roman or christian boot. They had already the Kahba in Mecca. The only difference being that they prayed to many gods there instead of one.
