What you are doing here is called "alternate history".
 
It doesn't really fit well on this forum, but their is another forum specifically devoted to the kind of question that you just asked.

one thing is certain it would have is own branch of Islam and al of south and east asia would be converted to Islam by the Chinese

the Islam practiced would be strongly influenced by Budisme & other asian philosophy streams

Cultural it would have been the same


just look at the Hui

with some of the posts and theories that come in here, it was for necessity. Historical amusement just didn't cut it.

Timur (though he certainly fought against the Chinese and died against them) was largely a Ming Vassal.

13 billion angry Chinese with no pork to eat. For that reason alone, it's unlikely China will ever be Muslim.

Please clarify your point. Timur wasn't a Ming vassal, neither did he fought against Chinese. He actually died during the preparation of the big expedition against Ming.

Well, it certainly would have upset the apple cart during a few wars! Imagine the Japanese versus a united Muslim China? And, just imagine a Muslim China versus the world today? Certainly, if WWII still happened, then the majority of atomic bombs, would have to be directed towards China and not Japan!

Of course, Communism is some what of a Jihad, of course against religion rather than promoting it!

But, of course this is but "Alternative History!"

I removed some words that could well have been mistaken in their intent!

I am not really into "what if" but it does give me memories of the old forum, this thread goes back a ways.

But, I would think that the excretement hit the revolving air moving device? Laugh!

If the People's Republic of China was Muslim then we would all be screwed. They'd most likely side themselves or at least discreetly support Islamic extremists. The US would pose China as a serious threat to stability.

What specifically would indicate that we would all be "screwed", Michael McKean, had China been a Muslim State?

It would largely depend on the brand of Islam the Chinese embraced. If they were Shia they would side with the Iranians. The Americans, in turn, might support a Sunni jihad against the so-called heretics

With what I have just read, the vast majority of Muslims in China are Sunni.
