The rise of Islam did not contribute to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire, which occurred about a century earlier. The rise of Islam united the Arabs who went on to conquere territories of the eastern part of the Roman Empire (historians call the eastern part after the fall of the western part Byzantine Empire). They took over Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and the territories in North Africa. Eventually, this empire was brought down by the Ottoman Turks, who were Muslim. However, the Ottomans were more interested on power and expansion than religion.

Christianity did not play any part in the fall of either parts of the Roman Empire. It became the state religion and a unifying element. Some pagan Romans thought that Christianity had weakened the fighting spirit of the Romans, but this was not the case.

Did the rise of Christianity and Islam contribute to the fall of rome?

Islam did not contribute to the fall of Rome and the western part of the Roman Empire. This part of the empire fell more than a century before the rise of Islam. This religion contributed to the fall of the eastern part of the Roman Empire (which historians all Byzantine Empire) which existed for nearly 1,000 years after the fall of the western part. It united the Arabs, who went on to take over the Roman territories in Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and North Africa. The Ottoman Turks took over Turkey and the European territories and conquered the Capital, Constantinople, bringing down this empire. They were Muslims. However, power, rather than religion was their motivation. Christianity did not play a part in the fall of the Roman Empire, be it the western part or the eastern part. It became the state religion and part of the fabrics of state and society. Some pagan Roman thought that Christianity had weakened the fighting spirit of the Romans, but this was not the case.
