So I stumbled across this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian–Dutch_War

It mentions that there was a Cambodian king that converted to Islam and styled himself Sultan Ibrahim due to the assistance of Malay traders in his rise to power.

Given that this happened roughly the same time as the Safavids came to power in Iran and converted the country from predominantly-Sunni to Shi'a, is it possible that Sultan Ibrahim could retain power (he was deposed with help from Dai Viet) and that him and his successors could impose Islam on Cambodia. If they were successful, what would the impact be on the region with a Muslim Kampuchea?
