Hi!

I'm not sure if this is off the wall, but what would have happened had Islam made enough inroads into the Byzantine Empire to actually manage to convert the Emperor? What would have happened if the Byzantine Empire became Muslim (if that's even plausible?). We'll assume that the Empire is Islamicized during the period when Islam spread through North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula.

Perhaps you'd get a European crusade against the East. However, I'd suspect that the western kingdoms are too weak and disorganized to really do much about it.

Is this ASB?
