Good. Let them spread this faith among their kin. Let us support their prophet, but only to if he preaches among his own race.

If we could make this belief only related to their race, they would become weak and harmless.

The religion of peace: so long as you follow it, you wont be killed!

T. Islamic orc

Sounds good.

Righty-O

And then they get wiped out by the other Orc tribes who are all
>Hey free loot and women!

No complaints here

Freeing up the quest boards of all the boring "raid X orc camp" assignments. I see no problem with it.

Then why are Muslims being killed more than anyone else?

Because they are killed by other muslims.

>The Orcs eventually return to their warmongering ways
>their organizational skills, buoyed and honed from years of practicing non-violence, lead them to dominate their continent for decades
>they subvert the once-holy symbol, turning it into an icon of destruction

but if they're Muslim, they're following the religion, and by the logic of

They wouldn't be killed.

>but if they're Muslim, they're following the religion
Inter-religious violence is nothing new and not restricted to muslims, but today it's the only inter-religious violence you can observe on a regular basis.

Think of it as Quran Edition Wars. Some parts of the book are contradictory with each other and there's several schools of thought what retcons what.

Unbeknownst to the population, the local nobility has been keeping the orc tribe in tact for decades, periodically thinning their numbers with hired adventurers without ever putting to task their destruction. The location of the tribe forces trade routes through the secure holdings and results in local exports being more valuable as only the closest population has knowledge of where to gather safely. The population, ever fearful of the orcs are easier to control, not realizing the more subtle villainy of the region.

You have been tasked to destroy the new religion and keep the orcs war-like for the long-term stability of the land. Are you up for the task?

>the local orc herd decides to claim the royal gardens as their new burrow, conducting the traditional breeding ritual in the middle of the Queen's favorite flowers

well, according to [muslim sub-faction A], [muslim sub-faction B] are actually heretics because of [an aspect of the Quran] being interpeted differently, therefore they need to be purged. because you can either be right or wrong, and if [A] is right and [B] is doing something differently, [B] is wrong. and being wrong means putting the fate of all faithful at stake.

also politics. those exist.

But instead of central vs. distributed power it's a popularity contest between family members

Does this faith include a path to redemption via polymorph?
