Was Islam made because they didnt like Roman Christian influence at the time?
Most abrahamic ones have a history of being made for spiteful purposes.
Judaism was made because they got invaded by empires back then, so they wanted to do the opposite of what they did and scapegoat evils on them (some were legit like human sacrifices but not sure how common that practice was)
Then Christianity happend because Jews sucked at conquering considering Romans took them pretty much. So it wanted to influence rather than conquer, or more the goal on that atleast... even though it probably has scripture on how to maintain such kingdom for good messures.
And Islam retconned those religious cultures because... Arabs are semites so they wanted a say in it too. Empires are probably not all that popular if the idea is to take away certain cultural values. So yeah... make a religious culture to defend it seems easier

No, because Mohammed was a megalomaniac.
