the bad part about being an islamic nation is that most of the rebel provinces are of a different religion...

Ive made like 50+ alims and about 7 Imams that go around in masses right in front of my armies, bringing the Islamic religion to 60%+ before I attack with my armies. This works well, because it gives me time to set up the conquered provinces with the basic defenses(btw, has anyone noticed the passiveness of the enemies. Im playing on normal, and only the english are attacking me, besides the few pathetic crusades they send my way every now and then). My troops are pouring in to the western europe, and I have plenty to keep the Byzantines/Horde in check, if they decide to come my way in the east. Ive even tried allying with the horde, but with no success...
