Comentary Response
I have read some of the critic and I kind of understand about most of the critics that came to this fiction from brother Rico and other non-moslem brother. Some people may critics on how the timeline is not spesific, some say that there is an inaccurate event of history, and the rest is about comparing the Islamic ruling style with the Western Secular system.
I'm not an expert on history and economy and debating about those thing with those who might have more knowledge would only become an endless debate. More over there is a different between the European perspective and Moslem perspective regarding Ottoman history or any other Islamic civilization in history, so I guess the debate on this matter would be pointless. That's why my response won't focus on that matters.
But I also understand that most critics came because the lack of knowledge of how the moslem think about their religion. First of all, I kindly ask the non-moslem not to judge us based on how you think about your religion and please do research on how the conservative moslem view their religion.
I think Islam might be the last religion that their followers still wanted to propagate it through the process of Da'wah. Islam is the religion with the most practicing follower in this secular era. That's why even in our timeline where Islam viewed in very negative way in mainstream media, Islam still become the fastest growing religion. That's why there are Islamic converts wave in europe and other secular country.
Yes I understand that there is no compulsion in embracing Islam, but in Islam the process of Da'wah is just explaining and introducing Islam to the non-moslem, nothing more. There is no forcing on it. This is what Happend in my fiction timeline. I see most of the critics is about Japan become part of the caliphate autonomous territory and where the citizen starting to convert to Islam. How is this happen is because it's become a common thing when Islamic Caliphate rule on a land, the process of Da'wah become much easier, thus the people who wanted to convert would usually rise in numbers. This is what happend in the time of the four Khulafaur Rasyidin in the first century of Islam.
Islam has become an Ideology for us as moslem just like how people believe in liberalism and capitalism or even socialism as an ideology. But liberalism and capitalism didn't belong to any religion and came purely through the process of human thinking and those who believe on it didn't have to convert to any religion and instead some of them even became an atheist. But, Islam is a religion which also became an ideology in the same time. When people convinced to the idea of Islam, it became a consequense that they would start to convert to Islam on their own choice. This is why even in this modern era where most of the religion follow the idea of liberalism, capitalism, feminism, and any other idea which came from western civilization, Islam came up to challenge them using it's own idea and values based on it's scripture which is the Qurán and the Hadiths. Just like what brother Andrew Tate said, that "Islam is the last religion" which stand with it's own values and even it became a solution to any problem that came in this modern era.
Lastly please don't compare Islamic caliphate with Islamic state which existed in our real modern time such as Iran, Afghanistan, and even Saudi. The best example of Islamic State or Caliphate is from the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and the Khulafaur Rasyidin. Ottoman may also become one of the example, but it's not the perfect one. The Ottoman is the caliphate which mostly portrayed in negative way by the European historian since the Ottoman is the one who mostly clashed with European empire, so if you wanted to be objective, you have to read the moslem perspective of Ottoman history too. Of course there is a flaw on how they run, especially after the time of Abdul Hamid II when the caliphate became more secular. FYI the Armenian massacre also happend in the time of Three pasha where Ottoman became secular. This is the time where Ottoman didn't use the Islamic Sharia and the decision on government level didn't came from Islamic consideration any longer.
