How did Islam spread into the Caucasian mountains, and places like Chechnya, and Dagestan?
>>18532206I wanna say Islamic merchants and missionaries from Central Asia/Silk road but I'm not 100% sure.
>>18532211most likely this, islam spread mostly through trade, you got a better price as a muslim
>>18532206conquest and a handful of racial turncoats.>NOOOO EFFENDI ISLAMASHLAMA VERY GOODno, fuck Islam, its a retarded religion that belongs in a trading post near Riyad to provide faux-lore for a shop of trinkets.We lost the Scythian myths because Isssssslam.>BUT ITS TRUE ALLAH TOLD MEarabs have schizophrenia, they have now roped in non-schizophrenics through the genuineness with which they believe their own schizos.
>>18532206Turks and Mongols.
>>18532206When Mongols reverted most locals in the region followed through, north caucasus was under the Golden Horde at the time
>>18532206Islam was a mistake.
>>18532922The truth is never a mistake sir
>>18532206Which side? The Caucasus is larger than you'd think.Of course the Southern side if the caucasus was introduced to Islam very early. But Islam did not spread to the north side during the middle ages, instead, the North Caucasian peoples embraced Islam during the 18th and 19th century under Ottoman and Crimean influence. Excluding, notably, the southern part of Dagestan, which was Islamized very early during the age of the caliphs, because it was part of the Persian empire. And apparently the Kumyks (one of the many ethnicities inhabiting Dagestan) were Islamized during the late middle ages by the Seljuks and the Laks, which are a tiny micro-ethnie of dagestan.I really hate the caucasus.
