and I've heard that christian missionaries moving through Islamic regions were forced to convert or die. I don't know if there is any fact to this, but I'm pretty sure it has happened.

Why would they let Christian missionaries on their lands anyway?

Enough of this anti-muslim crap. Sure some Muslims have killed some people of other religions, but I can't think of any other religion that hasn't done similar. Even in your land of the free (haha) US of A in the past there have been religious pogroms. Maybe you should look at your own treatment of nature worshipers, including native Americans and European-origin Pagans.

Christians in Europe regularly killed Muslims and Jews and members of other Christian sects throughout history. Face it. People are bastards and are intolerant of people who are different from them. Let's try to be a bit more tolerant. First thing would be for those yanks out there to stop treating every Muslim like he is a potential suicide bomber.

I would suggest that if somebody wants to play a united Muslim empire which is strong enough to take on Europe they play as the Ottomans and try to complete the task.

Mohammad (pbuh) should not be a monarch, or included in the game whatsoever, Islam has a prohibition on depicting prophets. In addition, it's very unlikely that the capital of the Caliphate would be at Makkah. Realistic choices would be Baghdad or Damascus, and, if you really want an arabian capital, Medina would be more likely, I belive that in the very first days of the Caliphate, the capital was at the holy city of Medina, although I might be mistaken. Also, looking at the event file, not commenting on the very unbalenced events giving lots of troops, the following sticks out as extremly offensive:

"Great Caliph,Allah wants us to convert all the heretics in the Empire.Should we launch the glorioius campaign against them?If someone refuses to convert,we will kill him!!!"

Muslims do not kill someone who does not convert. There is a verse in the Qur'an that says there is to be no compulsion in religion. The only thing that non-muslims had to do in the Caliphate was to pay a small tax, as they didn't serve in the army. In addition, you, or whoever is supposed to be speaking this, would not try to speak for Allah (swt).

And one minor note, the prefered spelling of one who practises Islam is Muslim, not moslem or mosim.

Overall, from looking at the events, I found your scenario very offensive and unbalanced.

...Yeah. Fiction can be fun!

[\QUOTE]

"European-origin Pagans"? What are you talking about? "Pogroms?"
If you don't know your history, try not to talk about it. :mad:

P.S. And for a religious group that hasn't done similar, I would name the Bahais.
