The early Arab armies were looked upon as liberators by all the nations newly freed from Persian oppression.
Even Byzentine armies deserted to them.

"Even Byzentine armies deserted to them." Yes, I know that the world was filled with some really rotten people at the time. The entire area was rife with petty tyrants after the breakup of the old Roman empire. Some time people will accept the devil they don't know for the one that is all too familiar. Its only later that they find out that it wasn't such a good deal after all.
