The muslim think christians are easily manipulated, Mohammed one tricked christians by pretending to be one of them saying reciting the Quran saying that Jesus was born out of a virgin and its the Messiah, but ommiting that he doesn’t believe that he’s the Son of God, because Allah doesn’t have children

[@Dawah_Help]

I doubt that simplistic view. How does that square with the #historical_reality_of_the_Divine_Right_of_Kings ? How does one measure "highly Christianised" & what evidence is there e.g. metrics? Breadth vs Depth? How do you account for the later rejection of Catholisation & its replacement by a heresy? The varieties of Christianity are so diverse, that Islam, an #Abrahamic_Faith is religiously not excessively divergent. The region of England had earlier de-Christianised at least once before. It can arguably said that modern England has high level state-backed Christianity & centuries of historical imperial evangelisation, along with a melding of the Christian identity with nationalism e.g. St George. Yet, if one looks at the shallow level of nominal Christians, though huge in numbers, Islam is rapidly the most vibrant & energetic, with little resistance. Paradoxically, even the fanatical Crusader Knights "Saracenised" England in certain respects.

[@finp_c2857]

​@@Dawah_Help The idea that England could convert from Christianity to Islam in the 1200s seems like somthing out of historical fiction. The Divine Right of Kings was predicated on the idea of a Christian God so could not transfer to Islam and was not even enough to justify King John raising taxes. As for evidence that England was Christianized by the 1200s you can look at how pivotal a role the Church had in every day life, the number of churches and the failure of any competing beliefs for the next 200 years. I would recommend Going to Church in Medieval England for both breath and depth on this subject. As for the success of the reformation there are many factors. The English's state was more centralized by the 1500s and the Papacy was weaker. Despite this it was arguably the most violent social upheaval in English history coming close to disaster multiple times. All of this was becuse of a deviation from Christian doctrine not even to convert the religion. The idea that an unpopular King could convent to Islam in the mists of the crusades, contradicting the belief system of his nobles, his people and all his European allies is a bit far fetched to me. That's the less simple view.

I first heard about this from an old Ladybird book about King John. According to that, the Caliph rejected the offer, on the grounds that a king who would abandon his religion in order to win a war against his own subjects would not be a reliable ally.

[@davispeterson1876]

Sensible

[@trueboxingkings3721]

The thing is that a Muslim will never reject someone who is willing to convert. Their intention on why they convert is between that person and God. Not up to the Muslim to decided. So if King John wanted to, the Caliph wouldn't have rejected him he would instantly welcome it. Remember empires that fell to the Caliphs of the past accepted Islam and abandoned their previous faith. Some Kings/Leaders did it for whatever their reasons were. Not one time has any of them been rejected. Even men who fought in wars against The Prophet Muhammad, some would later accept Islam and none of them were rejected. We are not in a place to reject anyone from seeking the truth. So I wouldn't take that passage from Old Ladybird book as factual information because if one knows about Islam they would instantly see that this can't be true.

To be fair, at the time England had only been Christian for a few centuries - before that it was pagan. Islam is arguably closer to Christianity than Christianity is to Paganism. One of the methods used to convert people to Christianity was to line up Christian celebrations with existing Pagan ones. There were also some people who just accepted the Christian god as another one of their gods, although this wouldn't be relevant in converting between two monotheistic religions. I'm not saying that the King would have been able to successfully convert the country to Islam (especially as he wasn't very popular anyway), but it's not as ridiculous as it first sounds.

[@Neion8]

@@aaronhansen2955 'its basically the exact same religion' is also true between catholicism and the various protestant religions, didn't stop wars being waged because of slight differences in interpretation, but that's mostly because catholicism was never about the religion, it was about having a centralised authority in Europe that superseded national law to create a psedo-empire (similar to the HRE) with the pope at it's head, threatening excommunication for anyone (or any country) that dared to defy him. The threat of being sentenced to hell despite any good deeds you might have done was enough to keep peasents in line, or get them to revolt against their leaders.
