    WI: Covert conversion of an European ruler to Islam?

    Say, one of the heads of the players in Europe during the Early Modern Era has a crisis of faith and just so happens to stumble upon the Qur'an as translated by Mark of Toledo. The more interesting potential converts seem to be Isabella, Charles V, and Louis XIII in my view. The English are...

    What is the exact meaning of Bulliet’s Conversion Curve?

Drawing from existing biographical data of names, Bulliet established a S-shaped graph charting...
  3. AHC: Make Japan majority Christian by 1900

    So the idea here is basically to come up with a scenario where Japan becomes majority Christian by the year 1900. Speculations on how this would affect history are also welcome.

  7. WI: The Ottoman Empire converts to Christianity?

    When was the latest time that the Ottomans could plausibly convert to Christianity? How would that affect European relations? What about Islamic relations?

    WI: Prince Vladimir of the Kievan 'Rus converts to Islam?

    I don't know why he would, but the consequences would be very interesting. What would the repercussions be?
  9. With a POD after 1600, cause as much conversion away from Islam as possible

    Not doing this as an Islamophobe, but I am very interested in the possibility of widescale religious conversion after 1600. With Christianity, the world's biggest faith, it is largely our timeline, with the Enlightenment eventually causing widespread secularism and agnosticism by the 21st...
