Muslims, Christians, and Jews worshiped the same God. Islam teachings require no compulsion in religion and require respect of all human faiths and beliefs. In addition, Muslims believe in all God prophets (including Moses and Jesus and Muhammad; Peace be upon them) and believe in all God holy books (including Torah, the Bible, and Quran).

Who is the group that believed Umayyad caliphs should rule?
Most citizens of the Arab World did not believe that the Umayyad should rule on account of their holiness or conduct. They became rulers because of political finagling during the Fitna Al-Kubra (The Great Islamic Civil War).

People tolerated them, but they were not respected the way that the four Rightly-Guided Caliphs were respected.

Did the Umayyad empire accept mawali as full citizens?
Mawali (or non-Arab Muslims) were traditionally excluded from political and social affairs. The Umayyad in particular treated them as second-class Muslims. The evidence of this treatment was that Mawali were not allowed to have many government positions and that they were taxed whereas Arab Muslims were not taxed at all. Mawali made up an important component of the Umayyad Caliphate, especially Persians. Persia was always a high seat of culture in the Islamic Empire. As a result, ideas moved quite freely throughout Persia and Persians considered themselves to be of equal worth to Arabs.

How did Charlemagne protect his kingdom from the Muslims?
Charlemagne led offensive wars against Umayyad (Muslim) holdings in northern Spain and eventually was able to establish the Marca Hispanica or the Spanish March as a buffer state between his Kingdom of the Franks and the Umayyad Caliphate. This buffer region prevent Umayyad incursions and raids into sovereign Frankish territory. When Frankish power waned, the Marca Hispanica became quasi-independent governates and eventually became part of Christian Spain. Today, the Marca Hispanica roughly corresponds to Catalonia, Navarre, Basque Country, and Rioja.
Why did abbasid and umayyad rulers allow non-muslims to participate in government?
Non-Muslims actually had very minimal participation in the Umayyad and Abbassid Caliphates. Many former non-Muslims were asked to convert so that they could be part of the government. This was done because the Arabs had no experience in managing a bureaucracy and needed Persians and Byzantines who were skilled in running affairs of state. Jews were also believed to be good financiers and were allowed to join the financial ministries without converting.
