I really appreciate your reply but in the back of my mind I still can't stop thinking negative things. "Either this man was a Prophet and got revelations and conquered the world, or he was just a man and made everything Arab-centric because he himself was an Arab". My mind may want to beieve the former but my heart believes the latter.

I appreciate the answer and will continue to ponder.

And also, let's say today a Malagasy (from Madagascar) tribe arises and does a similar thing to the Prophet Muhammad. Would you believe their religion? Hypothetically speaking. Why or why not?

Muhammad sallaho alaihe wa sallam was geographically in Arabia but his message is universal,the real blessing is the message,not the places,these places are holy because these are the signs of Allah and are associated with the prophets of Allah,Kaaba,because it was built by Ibrahim AS,'ZAM ZAM,because it was a sign of Allah,Arabic language because it is the language of Quran and so on.We Muslims love our Prophet and all the other Prophets,and every thing associated with them,so we love Arabs,we love the language,we love every act of every Prophet authenticated by Quran,so in Haj we do Sai to remember Ismail AS and syed a Hajera ra,we do Rami to remind ourself of Ibrahim AS.Islam is a Din,and every thing in Islam is FOR Din.The new Islamic calendar starts from Hijra,not from the date of Birth of our beloved Prophet sallaho alaihe wa sallam,unlike other religions.
As for as the person of the Prophet was concerned,please note he was not an Arab leader,he was a prophet for all human beings.Which leader will stop Sadaqat and zakat on his close family members and his offsprings till the end of this world?If a person is so selfless regarding his family,how can his struggle be for just pity nationalism.?.When the Son of the Prophet sallaho alaihe wa sallam passed away,there was Sun eclipse on that day,people thought it was due to the demise of the Prophet,s son;On hearing this Rasoolullah sallaho alaihe wa sallam called all the people and declared that the Sun and the moon were signs of Allah,they have nothing to do with the death of any one.If he was a leader,that was a golden opportunity for him to establish his reputation even further....on the contrary he openly denied it...Is this what a leader would do?
And see how his close associates learned from him.In the time of Syedena Umar RA,the governor of Egypt did some thing wrong with the local population,on hearing this Umar RA wrote to him "Those people were born free to their mothers,how can you make them slaves now?".Would you call it Arab nationalism.?
Brother Islam is against all kinds of prejuidice based on race,language,clour and creed.Islam divides people in two groups only...on the basis of faith.....those who follow the prophets,(the final of them being Muhammad sallaho alaihe wa sallam),and those who follow shaytan.The idea behind Islam is :"INNA SALATI wa NUSUKI wa MAHYAYA wa MAMATI lillahe Rabbil ALAMINA, la sharika Lahu"
