Indeed, very polytheistic. But Eastern Christianity and Judaism were both known well in Arabia due to trade-links.An intersting question, I hope someone knowledgable on this topic offers something. As far as I knew the area was extreamly polythiestic, with many many gods, I don't know if any of them took precident over the other's in any large way.

Muhammed's people, the Quraysh tribe, were Arabian polytheists whose principle deity was Allah. Each city and tribe would have had a different principle deity, or set of deities in their pantheon though, I think amongst the people whom the Quraysh lived with Hubal was another popular deity.
Do you recall what the largest stable city was called? The one that had the massive area for putting a symbol of a god in. It had thousands... grrr, I hate when it's on the tip of your tongue and you just can't get it.
That is what google is forMecca
