Fatimids and Buyids convert Arab world and Iran to Shia Islam

[octoberman]

Following their rise to power in Iran in the 16th century, the Safavid dynasty initiated a campaign of forced conversion against the Iranian populace, seeking to create a new demographic environment in which Shia Islam would replace Sunni Islam as the nation's religious majority. Over the course of the next three centuries, the Safavids (who were Twelver Shias) heavily persecuted Sunni Muslims, Jews, Christians, and other religious groups, eventually transforming Iran into a spiritual bastion of Shia Islam.

But What if the Buyids did that more than half a millennium earlier and Famitids did the same to the whole of the Arab world ?

How will this effect the history of Middle East and Muslim World

I can see you are trying to do what needs to happen, so I'm going to hold back the Hammer. That said, you STILL need to start a discussion . You never do this. You might give a. brief description of the historic scenario, but then you just ask a question.

You need to say what your perspective is, or at least what you believe the result (s) would be.
