Best Answer
A:Heretical Christians had no particular role in the founding or spread of Islam in the seventh century CE. However, the Jacobeans and Nestorians, considered heretical by the Catholic-Orthodox Church, did cooperate with their Muslim conquerors.

Answer 2

The only connection between Islam and Heretical Christianity is that when Mohammed learned the values and beliefs of Christians, he was learning Nestorian doxos as Nestorians were the dominant form of Christianity in Arabia. Therefore, when he denounces the Trinity, he refers to its members as the Father, the Son, and Mary contrary to the Nicene Creed (that preceded his birth by over 250 years). In terms of causing Islam or helping to expand Islam, heretical Christians were not allowed to join the Islamic army and therefore played little role in these events.
