I'm tellin' ya', if you folks followed your lineage all the way back to the 7th and 8th Centuries, you would probably find that most of your ancients were either Christian, Jewish (heaven forbid), Hindu, Pagan, or Zoroastrian because back then the great Muhammad was little more than a twinkle in his mother's eye (whoever the hell that chick was).
P.S. And I can assure, their conversion to Mohammedanism (and yes, they called it that back in the day) was never based on gentle persuasion, as the other options were either going headless or being taxed into oblivion.
