Authors Note: Sorry for the slow updates :'( But this is the fastest I can do updates with School and Life and stuff...
 
No worries! I'm loving the way the Roman Empire is diverging from OTL bit by bit in political and cultural terms.

Also this ATL Islam seems to be more diverse early on by comparison to OTL, and Omar's admonishment of zealotry and sin alike gives me a good feeling :)

Keep up the good work!
 
Yeah i'm really liking this timeline aswell, especially wondering how isam will spread in comparison to how it did otl.

Conversion in north africa may actually be more succesful than otl, because that region in particularly the punics converted to christianity very quickly and the donastist brand of christianity with its uncompromising radicalism and opposition to roman secular rule seems quite similar to early islam.

You're spot on with the Christian-Islam part. Most of the story telling on Omar focuses on a very Christian (By that I mean Islam ITTL and OTL Christianity will have a lot of similarities) idea of Forgiveness.

This is really cool

Thanks :closedeyesmile: I really loved reading your TL when I found it.
 
Authors Note: Since I am approaching the dreaded exam months I shall be putting this TL on HOLD. It certainly isn't finished yet...
 
Maybe I missed something but I do not conceive the concept of any sort of 'Islam' without an important previous spreading of Christianism in the East.

There is no Islam without Christianism (as a major religion, not like a hidden sect), as there is no Christianism without Judaism.

Christianity or as it is known ITTL as Nazarene Judaism is a Jewish sect ITTL a very proselytising one at that. It is a major religion in the Eastern Empire. Nazarene Judaism however is a very fluid religion with some sects of it closer to the Roman Pantheons than Judaism.
 
Author's Final Note: As a result of School and other shenanigans (Procrastination, Laziness, Slothfulness, Kemalasan, etc...) I've not been able to work on the TL but after some reading I've decided to redo this TL because of some points which I think could improve on. The Tl's premise is a bit to implausible and so I've decided to move it to ASB where I'll (hopefully) be able to finish it but I'm definitely not gonna be abandoning this. The Prophet (PBUH) not being butterflied away by the 1st POD is practically ASB so I've decided to move the TL to ASB where it would make more sense. Here's a random Qasidah to listen to:

 
Itikaf, I really hope you finish this TL. I really enjoy it. Will you be finishing this TL in ASB and doing one like this later but in this forum?

I think I'll finish this one in the and forum but maybe with diff Pods as for a more plausible one in the Before 1900s forum, maybe?
