During the time period from 300 to 1500 CE, the growth of Islam and Christianity in the Middle East followed different trajectories.

- Islam: Islam experienced significant growth during this period and eventually became the dominant religion in the Middle East. The rise of Islam started with the revelations received by the Prophet Muhammad in the early 7th century. This led to the establishment of Islamic empires such as the Umayyad, Abbasid, and Ottoman empires, which spread Islam throughout the region. Islamic influence expanded through military conquests, trade networks, and the appeal of the religion itself.

- Christianity: Christianity had a longer history in the Middle East compared to Islam, as it originated in the region. However, during the period from 300 to 1500 CE, Christianity faced challenges and experienced a decline in influence within the Middle East. The rise of Islam and subsequent Islamic empires gradually eroded Christian territories and populations. The Crusades, which occurred from the 11th to the 13th centuries, were an attempt by European Christians to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim control. Although the Crusades temporarily established Christian states in the region, their influence was limited in the long run.

In summary, during the period from 300 to 1500 CE, Islam experienced significant growth and eventually became the dominant religion in the Middle East, while Christianity faced challenges and declined in influence within the region. The Crusades had an impact on both religions, but their overall effect on the growth and dominance of Islam was more significant.
