It lends a modicum of credence to the theory of islam being a Roman creation to oust the Jews and Copts from Jerusalem.
Actually, Rome, either as a political power or as religious leadership, had very little power in the Middle East at that time. The ME, which after the collapse of the Roman Empire no longer had a unifying great power to control or protect the many kingdoms and countries, was a sea of heresies and strange understandings of Christianity, many of them based on the Arian and Donatist heresies.
It was pretty easy for somebody like Mohammed, a false prophet, to patch together his own version of the religions using fragmented Christianity, the still pervasive paganism, and Jewish ritual law. He particularly revved up on the visions after his bandit tribes had overrun a few places and he needed a political/religious ideology to cement his victories.
Don’t forget that Islam also sees itself as a political system of civil governance.
