Look at how much effort went into getting rid of the Teutonic order when the poles were Catholic.
The South Slavs were already fairly Orthodox Christian by the late 10th century.Sviatoslav defeats the Byzantines at Arcadiopolis and successfully moves on to take the city. He was personally a pagan. Despite the greater influence of Christians in the Rus state, the Russians breakthrough to the Mediterranean leads to ever more trade and contacts with the Muslims. Sviatoslav or a descendent converts. From there the newly converted Rus are fairly zealous and enthusiastic and do proselytizing with the western Slavs (and likely the Bulgarians and Magyars and Vlachs also) I don't know if the Serbs or Croats were Christian yet. If not, they might adopt Islam, at least the Serbs.
To this I'd add the Rus converting to Islam - getting from Thrace to Poland is very difficult. Easier through Kiev/Novgorod.Arabs take Constantinople in the 7th or 8th century and expand into the Balkans, easiest scenario for Islamic West Slavs bar none
