It happens with rebels sometimes. Religious ideas can even spawn them. Ai won't switch on purpose but a human can.

That's because it's nearly impossible to switch from monarchies to republics, and pretty much all Muslim states start as monarchies (note that even when using gamey tactics, most involve converting a Christian republic to Islam rather than converting a Muslim monarchy to a republic)
Still... Never seen as Muslim form a colonial nation? I mean, it's pretty unlikely unless there's a player Morocco or something, but it's still a fairly non-gamey way to form a Muslim republic.
Well there is one significant downside to Muslim nations, no European nation will be your friend ever: even if you share rivals every European nation will view you as a rival or be outright hostile, so a super advanced western Mughal Empire still gets screwed over by Europeans because they can't make friends with any major Christian power, Catholic Protestant or Orthodox doesn't matter they all hate you equally for being Sunni
Not true, but due to great power stuff they probably won't ally you now.
I had little trouble in 1.4 and before doing things like allying Austria with Kazan, while still a Sunni nomad.
Some pretty crazy stuff in this thread... saying the +2 advisors and + general from Curia controller is weak is hilarious 
there are muslim republics in india all the time... and if you release a muslim country as a vassal they seem to be republics if you are one (am I mistaken here?)

The curia gives you so many bonuses. Plus, Christians can enact lots more laws related to religion that Muslims.
When you have a country be released as part of a peace deal it will be of your government type. So if you're Venice making The Ottomans cough up Byzantium, Candar, Dulkadir, etc they will all be republics.
