In normie history they had great success in MENA because the Christians there had been fighting each other over sectarian differences and saw the Muslims as better than the Byzantines. When they reached the recently converted areas in Europe the sperging about how many angels can fit on the head of pin wasn't going on yet.
I think when they faced tribes rather than cities the tribes understood the ooga booga gibsmedat style of warfare the Arabs practiced. This is also why the tribal Berbers, Turks, and Franks put up the toughest fights against them while urbanized people just let them do whatever because "not my problem." The other element is jewish xenophilia which led them to think the Arabs were better masters than the Christians and they spied for them and did garrison duty for them in at least Spain as far as I know. On the other hand this lic is a Jewess that put up a better fight than a lot of Christian city slickers did.
