why are there so many muslims in south east asia? it just doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the worldbuilding. surely muhammad never conquered Indonesia? who writes this shit? my disbelief is not suspended
>>217159593Trade routes. The abrahamic conquest of south east asia was also a lot more peaceful than anywhere else (relatively speaking). Maybe thats why you never hear about filipinos or indonesians chimping out
>>217159657why would they accept qurans in exchange for whatever goods they were exporting?
>>217159593I think it happened similar to how Christianity spread to Northern Europe. You got to be part of a bigger community with trade and military alliance advantages so rulers converted for those reasons and then made their subjects change religion too.
>>217159710because the local lords would convert for better trade deals then all his subjects would be forced to conver too, this also happened in Japan with Christianity
>>217159710They probably got some fat discounts.
>>217159657>Maybe thats why you never hear about filipinos or indonesians chimping outBut they do that all the time.
>>217159873???Japan is not a christian nation >>217159837>>217159915so they sold out?
>>217160048You could call it that, yeah
