I thought this might be an interesting alternative to the No Mohammed or Christian Mohammed WIs - what if instead of Arabia, "Mohammed" is born in the Balkans (somewhere in modern Serbia, maybe?) in 570 AD? What was the local religious situation? How strong was the eastern Empire at the time? Could his territory and religion have spread northward into modern Hungary and Poland?

Any thoughts from people who know the period?
