No. Pre-Islamic Arabia had three main religions: animism, Judaism, and Christianity. The latter two groups (which were far more numerous, literate, and wealthy than present Arab Islamic countries care to acknowledge) were well defined and well documented as to membership. Animists were the vast mass of the people. The Ka'aba is in fact an animist shrine, with the current complex having grown up in the centuries since Muhammad first began preaching his message. One of the biggest paradoxes and tragedies of the human race is that the world's three principal monotheisms, i.e. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, all recognise the same prophetic succession, all acknowledge the same God, all acknowledge the same father in Abraham, yet are always so murderously at one another's throats. By the way, "Muhammad" as a spelling is far closer to the Arabic original, and preferable to any of the other transliterations in use.
