If anyone is familiar with the Pacific region, you would know that there are at least three Islamic or Islamic-influenced countries near the vicinity of Australia. Indonesia (a secular country that has the largest population of Muslims and a province named Aceh which follows sharia law), Brunei (A Islamic nation that follows sharia law) and Malaysia (A country whose state religion is Islam and 61.3% of the population is Islamic and has two justice systems-one of which is sharia)

Australia, on the other hand, is a majority Christian country whose Islamic population is very small (2.6%).

That leads me to my challenge.

Change history in such a way that Australia is a Islamic country.

But how do you define a 'Islamic country''?

Well, for the purposes of this challenge, we will be using the three aforementioned countries as a kind of example of what Australia could be like in regards to the designation of a 'Islamic country'?

1. It could be a secular country with a large Muslim population (Indonesia) (larger than 2.6%, obviously)

2. It could be a country that follows sharia law to the letter. (Brunei)

3. A country that has Islam as it's state religion and is influenced by Islam, but is not as strict as Saudi Arabia or Brunei and has two justice systems (Malaysia).

To make it easier, I will also settle for making some parts of Australia influenced by Islam and some influenced by other religions (such as Christianity).
