Why was the Arab world chosen as the birthplace of the three celestial religions?

The three religions in question are Judaism, Christianity and Islam, founded in what is now known as the Middle East. Only Islam was really founded in the "Arab world". Judaism and Christianity were founded in Palestine before it became part of the Arab world.
Christianity developed out of Judaism and was therefore founded in the homeland of the Jews. This much is unsurprising.
By the seventh century, the world from Britain to Iran and including northern Africa, was ruled by two opposing empires each of which had its state religion - Christianity in the case of Rome and Zoroastrianism in the case of the Persian Empire. No new religion was likely to be countenanced in either empire. In this whole region, only the Arabian peninsula was independent, and it was here that Muhammad founded Islam. Arabs carried Islam out of the Arabian peninsula and established an Arabian empire in the Middle East and across northern Africa to Spain.
The three religions became the "celestial religions" of the West because the dominant powers prohibited any other religion. It is arguable that, despite persecution, Judaism survived at the behest of Christianity.
