How did the Tuerks converted to Islam?

Yes sure mate

I think yes, I should mention strongly Turks just upgraded them selves. IT is true Ottomans had many issues coming from the Hunnic days.

Persian, Chinese, Abbasid, Greek, Roman elements were just addition.

But I think it should be considered as flexibility and agilability, not assimilation.

We called Vezir, Sadrazam but we also considered Emperor as the shadow of god and the blood of emperor family to be sacred. This for instance Turkick tradition.

And our religion tradition also has many Turkic elements too.

Oguzoglu, lets say Sassanid-Abbasid-Islamic state organization.

Our state organization is a form of Sassanid, Ilber Ortayli starts his book dsecribing Ottoman State organization with Sassanid Shahdom Chapter.

Azimuth is in some sense right, greatest empire a Turk founded was Ottoman Empire. But yes, not Islam but the Persian-Islamic civilization helped us, togerther with the Chinese civilization. First Sogdian and chinese, than Persian and Islamic civilization added, than the Greco-Roman. LOL.

But not everytime Islam defined Ottoman Empire, it was also defined by traditions, like every empire did.

The civil way of life started before Islam, and accelerated with the Seljuks.

Though I can not agree with the Mongol issues , LOL. I do not say we are same 100% percent , hahahahahaha.  And all those tribes are not the same with 100%.

Anyway, I have discussed them in our new forum. Hehehehehe... Quoted some from Urgunge Onon, that some tribes from Turkic group, Kereyids and Naimans spoke a language akin of Mongol tribe.

Onon, the one authority in Mongol history, names each tribe and people groups with their names, does not divide them into two groups.

Cengiz, keep it calm mate, Azimuth is our nice friend .

Take care dudes,

Memo

Just as a sidenote, Muslim religion defined the Ottoman empire, as it provided it with moral ground for expansion (jihad), acted as the fiber on which the various elements of the empire were connected upon, as well as served as the basis for its administrational structure. So the cornerstone of the empire itself, was the Muslim religion.

i didnt say that turk didnt had empires before islam, and i didnt say truks were not powerfull before islam.

read carefull please,

and wasn't the Ottoman one of the strongest empires turks had?????

You guys are being modest again. I would say that Turkish history is at least 10000 years old. Some day they may even discover that Neanderthal were Turkic specking turanoids

so what if the arabs revolted? big deal. Dont cry about what already happened.

In first crusade,the Turks only defeated the first wave of the crusaders;the pillager crusader army commanded by Pierre L'Hermite.

After them,an outnumbering army with all the strong knights,dukes and barons of Europe came to Anatolia.They defeated the Seljuks and captured Nicosia,however Selchuk armies of Kilic Arslan I began a guerilla war on the plains and mountains of Anatolia;the crusader armies had so many casualties when they arrived southern Anatolia

did we stop them?

Not at First Crusade,  and not  third crusade. But well , we did realy good job. Noone said It was not Turk who fight  against Crusaders.
