a random thing I was thinking about for something I'm writing, what would happen if while serving in the Khazar army (as he did in OTL), Seljuk (who was pagan IIRC) decides to convert to Judaism?

would he still go on to found the Great Seljuk Empire and rampage around the Middle East, or would that be butterflied away? what do you think the effects would be?

EDIT: his conversion would probably be in the late 10th century, or possibly early 11th. sources (AKA wikipedia) are not very clear on when Seljuk was born or lived.
