Arabia was idolatrous when, six centuries after Jesus, Muhammad introduced the worship of the God of Abraham, of Ishmael, of Moses, and Jesus. The Ariyans and some other sects had disturbed the tranquility of the east by agitating the question of the nature of the Father, the son, and the Holy Ghost. Muhammad declared that there was none but one God who had no father, no son and that the trinity imported the idea of idolatry.

I'm a vicious person.

Conversion was not a widely known phenomenon in antiquity. Pagan religions had almost nothing like it.

Pagan religions were additive, not restrictive.

On the practical level, the gods were understood to be closely connected with every aspect of the social and political life of a community...
On the imperial level this meant that it was widely known—and genuinely believed by most—that it was the gods who had made the empire great...
The Christians refused to worship or even acknowledge the gods of the empire, claiming in fact that these were evil, demonic beings, not beneficent deities that promoted the just cause of the greatest empire the world had ever known.
The refusal to worship was seen by others to be dangerous to the well-being of the empire and thus to the security of the state.
And so the decision to persecute—which seems to us, perhaps, to be a strictly religious affair—was at the time inherently sociopolitical as well.
