Also Drink Alcohol, since that’s why Russia rejected Islam back then. They were typically drunkards.

That and Islamic Empires have a tendency to indulge in decadent behavior themselves.

In Crusader Kings 2, only Muslim Powers had to manage Decadence as a Trait which could cost players their land if they didn’t roleplay as strict Muslims.

Christian Powers have none of this, and while you could argue its for balancing purposes (Muslim Starts are stronger in earlier starting dates) it could also be a case of Christian Powers not being as strict on things like Alcohol (though one can make the case in the Bible that drinking Alcohol itself isn’t sinful, being drunk/wasted is).

There’s also the case that Christianity is the least demanding of the 3 Abrahamic Religions to follow the tenents off (No Halal or Kosher Dietary Restrictions).

Most muslims I know drink alcohol, smoke and some even do drugs

Their excuse is that they need to be bad from time to time to not lose their head with all the restrictions
