From what I understand, the answer to your question is, yes! I have a book called, The Green Horse, which explains that the green horse spoken of in Revelations is from the Middle East nations and the rise of Islam – a middle eastern political/religious system. The book is available on Amazon. But I also found a link to a website that you might find interesting. We have to keep in mind that end-time events as written about in Scripture are centered in the Middle East and pertain to that area in its relation to Israel.
