First, of course that's an inane question. Sorry but you know that. Nothing's ever been "just fine" anywhere, let alone in 7th century Arabia. But there was a fairly easy-going plurality of religions and superstitions in Mecca. Muhammad changed that and when he roared back into town as a conquering dictator it reminds me more of Hitler in Vienna than anything else.
But the main thing you miss is that Islam codified and froze in time serious 7th century prejudices and limitations that it can't shake off 1400 years later.
