Umayyads are Muslims, they represented an important Islamic age in which they ruled the Islamic country & their capital was Damascus.at first they were good rulers but then they stopped behaving like proper Muslims and started drinking wine.
because the Umayyads separated themselves from the general islamic populace and surrounded themselves with foreigners.

Islam as a religion began to expand to places not yet conquered by the Umayyad Caliphs and their armies, resulting in an expansion of the Islamic World that was greater than the size of the actual Empire. The Empire, though, remained the primary method of Islamic Expansion in this period and this was facilitated by armies and conquest.

The Umayyads were an aristocratic Meccan family who had been appointed to b the governors of Damascus. The assassination of their cousin, Caliph Othman, provided the perfect excuse for this family to make a gambit for more political power. They were successful in this. The Umayyads were also generally unconcerned about Islam and were not bothered by the fact that they were opposing a government composed of Muhammad's Apostles.
