However, it's also easy to go the other direction, and have your entire realm destroyed in the blink of an eye. Islam is generally a very powerful religion in early start dates , with several large kingdoms and empires compared to weak and fractious Catholic realms and only the Byzantine Empire remaining to carry the torch of Eastern Orthodoxy.
Though Christianity strengthens as time goes on and many of the Muslim realms fracture along dynastic lines in later dates, Islam remains very powerful well beyond Crusader Kings II' s timeframe. There are three major denominations of Islam: Sunni, Shi'a, and Ibadi, which share a number of common features. Most denominations and heresies feature a head of religion called a caliph or sheikh who has far more secular power than Christian popes or patriarchs.
The caliph or sheikh can use their own unique Casus Belli , Caliphal Subjugation, to conquer kingdoms from rulers of the same religion. They can also call jihads to conquer kingdoms from infidels. Unlike Christian, Jewish , or Zoroastrian religious heads but like the Reformed Germanic Fylkir in The Old Gods or any head of a reformed pagan faith with the Temporal leadership type , Muslim religious head titles are playable.
Both were, in fact, political rather than theological: In the Great Schism, a disagreement over the succession of St. Peter and the primacy of the Pope; In the Sunni-Shia Schism, a disagreement over the succession of the caliphate immediately following the Prophet Muhammad's death in AD This led to an extended period of civil war resulting in the violent deaths of three of the first four caliphs.
Sunni Islam, which won the initial sectarian conflict, holds that the Prophet Muhammad's rightful successor and therefore first Caliph of Islam was his father-in-law Abu Bakr. It has historically been the majority denomination. Sunnis' unique holy sites are Baghdad shared with Nestorian Christians and Cordoba shared with Aztecs.
Sunnis gain a holy order , the Bektashi Order , if jihads are unlocked and either the year is , or either Baghdad, Damascus, Cairo, Jerusalem or Mecca are not controlled by a Muslim character. Sunni Islam has two playable heresies , Yazidism and Zikrism.
Shi'ism, historically centered in Persia and later Iran, holds that Muhammad's rightful successor as caliph was his son-in-law Ali ibn Abi Talib the 4th Caliph by the Sunni succession , rather than Abu Bakr. Shi'a rulers and provinces exist at every start date, though they are more powerful as time goes on. The Fatimid dynasty in the start holds Egypt and Jerusalem, as well as the Shi'a Caliphate, and is the strongest Shi'a realm in the standard bookmarks, though the Catholic Crusades targeting Jerusalem from the s and onwards tend to severely reduce their strength.
Shi'ism also has a unique society in Monks and Mystics , the Assassins who historically were also known as Hashashin. Ibadi beliefs are a blend of the other two major denominations. Ibadis' unique holy sites are the Atlas Mountains and Suhar.
Ibadi and heretical Kharijite provinces are available in North Africa and southeastern Arabia modern-day Oman at all dates, but no Ibadi rulers exist after The Old Gods bookmark. Ibadis gain a holy order, the Haruriyyah , if jihads are unlocked and one of the following counties is not under Muslim control: Hajar, Damascus, Cairo, Jerusalem or Mecca.
Kharijites are a sect related to the Ibadis and deemed heretical by much of mainstream Islam. They reject doctrines of caliphal infallibility agreeing with Sunnis, disagreeing with Shi'ites and the Umayyad Caliphate's assertion of divine right, as well as the notion that imams and caliphs must be of the Quraysh tribe favoring instead the quasi-democratic belief that any pious Muslim nominated by other Muslims may be caliph , and believe that any Muslim has the duty to overthrow a sinful or heretical ruler.
Disagreeing with Ali for agreeing to arbitration to settle the dispute following his near-victory at the Battle of Siffin in , they rebelled against Ali and assassinated him in The Sayyid and Mirza traits have no effect.
Kharijites otherwise play identically to Ibadis. Muslim rulers do not have purely spiritual heads as Christians do. Instead, the religion is controlled by a secular Caliph or Sheikh who often controls significant amounts of land.
