If the Crusades had been completely successful would there be a saint Mohammed now?

Early Christianity seems to have assimilated other religions by building its churches on old pagan religious sites and even renaming pagan saints such as Brigid to St Brigid in Ireland and Venus to St Venere in Sicily so that old religious practices were assimilated into the Roman Catholic tradition. Hence my question if the Crusades had succeeded in defeating Muslim nations would they have imposed Christianity on them and subsumed Islam into Christianity by making the Prophet Mohammed a Christian Saint.
