Revival? You mean those ridiculous cults around the desert?Well, maybe the revival of they Ancient religion would have never happen.
Well, if you don't count them walking across Egypt into Nubia then I think they would have captured N.A as well. Would the Crusades of the 11th century fail even harder with a Muslim Egypt? I mean, we barely lost the Third One, but the rest doomed everything. I mean, having Islam in North Africa might unify Hispania sooner than the 1870s, but other than that, I can really only imagine butterflies of the Romans holding Egypt after the loss of the Levant.

Well for starters, the Coptic Church would be a lot smaller, and the Miaphysite community in general. Also, the Berbers would be Islamizied if they spread all the way across North Africa. I imagine this would cause butterflies for the Christianization of West Africa.
Considering how much influence Carthage has in the Catholic Church, and the Berber kingdoms in evangelization, Christianity will be a lot less vibrant. Papal power would definitely be centralized without having the Primate of Africa existing as an alternate (if not subservient) center of power.
With indigenous Christian populations like the Mali Empire, Mauritania, Numidia, and the Kongo gone, would Europe be more interested in colonialism?
Mali technically had a Muslim majority but was ruled by a Christian elite. Numidia isn't really indigenous considering how much it was Romanized. Kongo is a wildcard, they have had Muslim, Pagan, Christian, and even one Jewish King, due to being an elected monarchy.
There have been hundreds of attempts by the arabs, the turks, and quite a few other islamic armies to conquer Egypt all of them failed, but what if they had actually pulled it off what would our world look like today?
A sort of North African version of Persia. I imagine with Egypt converted, huge swaths of other parts of Africa would be converted to Islam as well, and the Islamic world rather than Europe would continue to lead the world in science and technology. Could we be looking at an Islamic discovery of and colonization of the Americas? Europe is arguably still positioned better for it geographically, but in this TL I think the Islamic world might get there first.
Can't imagine it would have lasted. Surely the Copts would have fought to the last!
