Not at all. Polytheist Seljuks are possible, Nestorian Seljuks less so, but Orthodox Seljuks, not at all. Even Zoroastrian Seljuks are more possible than Orthodox Seljuks, because at least there still were a few Zoroastrians in Central Asia
 
Pre-Islamic PoD? Sure!

Post-Islamic PoD? Difficult. Very difficult. Someone recently made a DBWI where Nestorian Seljuks converted to Orthodoxy after having taken Constantinople, that's the only (vaguely) plausible route to me
 
Then there wouldn't be Seljuk Turks in the first place.

Right, I got confused with the idea of Turks overall.

But honestly, by the time the specifically Seljuk Turks came into being it was almost inevitable they'd be Muslim, no?
