yes you are probably right, but the people their were arabs, they talked arabic, and most of them were muslims.
don't forget saladin at the Battle of Hattin where he captured Jerusalem in 1187.( i know that was before, but it really affected palastene as most of them became arab and muslims till the british conquered it).
and AFAIK turks were mostly muslims.
