The crusades, originally intended to save the Byzantine Empire, among other things, failed to do this and hastened its decline instead. The crusaders sacked Byzantine cities and eventually captured Constantinople in 1204. They then used Constantinople as the capital of what is called the Latin Empire, which it remained, until the Byzantines managed to recapture it in 1264. The Byzantine Empire never really recovered from this, though it held on for almost another 200 years.
In general terms, the Crusades affected the Byzantine Empire negatively. For one thing, the marches of the Crusader armies through Byzantine territory typically led to destruction and disorder, if but rarely on a grand scale. For another thing, the jealousies and ambitions of Western powers in respect to Byzantine wealth (along with religious differences) sometimes led to actual attacks by Crusader forces upon the Byzantines while en route to the Holy Land, with the most famous example of such an attack occurring in 1204.
The Byzantine empire bordered Islamic nations by then, when Mohammad preached Islam in medina he expanded stint bit, years after his death Islam spread wide to its military- conquest, Islamic warriors took Cairo and the rest of Egypt (a former state of the Byzantine empire) Islamic hoards could not get further so went through North Africa and took Spain, short answer:
The Byzantine empire was in a geographically incorrect place, the empire was to close to Islamic lands, they even bordered modern Saudi by their (Saudi's) only landlock.
Due to the fight over eastern and western branches of Christianity, the cruzades attacked Constantinopla then the Bizantines lost control and decline trades and much of their wealth. The Turks conquered Constantinopla and chnaged its name to Istanbul.
The crusades which out of the three most important ones, the Byzantine Empire only won one time.
The underlying premise of the question is incorrect. The Byzantine Empire never converted to Islam and Islam was, by and large, illegal within the Byzantine Empire for as long as it existed. The reason why the territory formerly controlled by the Byzantine Empire became Muslim-majority was because it was conquered by various Islamic States such as the Rashidun Caliphate, the Umayyad Caliphate, the Seljuq Turkish Empire, and the Ottoman Empire (which finished the job).
Islam
The Byzantine Empire declined after Islam spread. The words "Islam spread" are nebulous. If the question is referring to the Rise of Islam period, when Mohammed and the Rightly-Guided Caliphs were spreading Islam, then yes, the Byzantine Empire decline after these events. If, however, you are referring to the Seljuk and Ottoman conquests of Anatolia nearly 600 years later which eventually ended the Byzantine Empire, the Empire was in decline long before these armies trampled the Byzantines to the ground. The answer is more complex than the above answers would purport. See the link below for another relevant answer.
Islam became a rival of Christianity in the Byzantine Empire.
