How do you get an Ottoman Empire that is fairly liberal, staving off the more radical/conservative aspects of Islam? After all it's ruling exactly the regions of the world that turn pretty radical IOTL but I think the Ottoman Empire gets underestimated on the board and would like to hear ideas of how it handles the issue.

(Put aside the issue of it surviving, and let's think fairly recent—19th century or so, but if this better belongs in the the After 1900 forum it can always get moved.)
