Point of Divergence

This world diverged from our own when Muhammed was fleeing to Medina. Muhammed and his followers were on the run from the leaders of Mecca, who believed that the monotheistic religion preached by Muhammed would end pilgrimage to the Kaaba, where there were thousands of statues of pagan gods. However, Muhammed and his followers were killed in the journey to Medina in this world. Islam was extinguished from the lands of Earth.
