“Convert or die” was a very popular proposition for many centuries.
Take, I don’t know, former Yugoslavia. The Bosnians are mostly Muslim, the Serbs are Christian Orthodox, and the Croats are Roman Catholic. You think that’s because they all had different mentalities?
Ugh… I’m talking about whoever created Islam or Christianity in the first place, and Lumifer’s response didn’t seem to acknowledge that. I am indeed aware that Islam predates the Ottoman dynasty.

Did the Ottoman Sultans invent Islam?
Given that you know the expression “Ottoman sultans”, what do you think?
No. The Ottoman Empire started in 1299. Islam, and various very powerful caliphates, had existed for centuries before that.
