It's not really bored. The story making process is rather long. It takes about an hour so do the turns, take screen shots, crop them and write a compelling story to go along with it. I am clueless as to how some of you guys can make submitions so quickly.
Anyhow, I will continue the story. If you guys could invite other people to participate as well, I would appreciate it.

Is Allah Adalah Lebih Besar refer to the Takbir? If so, in Malay and Indonesian, the translation is Allah Maha Besar 
And another OOT question, does every Muslim name has to have Abd-.... ? As I observed, in Indonesia, the name is like Mohammad Hatta, Mohammad Ali etc.. I do have friends that names start with Abdul (Indonesian version of Abd-ul, I think. Without dash) like Abdullah Amir but quite rare imo. Most of them are like Mohammad + name + family name haha

Continue story. Will you do the alien invasion story after this? It would be interesting.
Only one hour? You amaze me! Well, you can update the story once per day. If you advance it every 10 turns, it's about 70 turns per week, so it will be finished in a month.

Tut tut tut, Sanguivorant. You already have a strong participation I always dreamed of. I remember my past stories when each update took over two hours and got no participation at all. Be fulfilled with what you already have. I have learnt over the years I'll never the retribution and that made me stronger as I don't care'bout participation anymore. One advantage: I can terminate at any time if I feel I need to move on.
Best of luck.

Abd al-Jalil Senbi
An Egyptian Muslim general who led the cavalry in an attack against the Buddhist rebel encampments in Egypt. Extremely disturbed by the disorder the Buddhists caused, Senbi wants to send a bigger message towards any Buddhist who would rebel.
Policies:
-Declare war on a Buddhist nation and take a city from them.
-Stop trade agreements with all Buddhist nations.
Abd al-Karim Rimush:
-A Muslim from Babil who has sheltered and protected many Buddhists when they were being persecuted. He believes that slavery was the root cause of the uprisings and instability in the empire, and it should be replaced. He believes slaves should be freed and instead paid for their work in whatever way.
Policies:
-Switch to agrarianism.
-Build workers
-Work tiles exclusively (No specialists)
Abd al-Rashid Muhammad:
Believes the Ummah has focused too much on developing domestically, but has not expanded in a dangerously long time. If he gets elected, he promises to found at least one new city, and another if possible. He also believes that navies are going to be important, because there are Buddhist nations surrounding the Ummah from the East and West.
Policies:
-Found a city in either Muscat, Caucasus, Croatia, Libya, Phillippines, Zanzibar or Guinea (We vote on it)
-Use Iskandariya, Makkah and Al-Quds to build navies.

Where would you suggest founding the new city? There is some free area in Libya to settle, as well as some city sites in West Persia (But obviously not the main city). If I want to be ambitious, I could make an Arab colony at Indonesia, though I am not sure how that would fare. Actually, let me go to the game and find possible sites to found cities.
Here are some city sites. If we wins, we do a vote on which city should get placed:

Build a city in Anatolia, on the Iron. It's very good strategically against the Barbs and such.

That's kind of what I was thinking. The Iron will make that area productive as soon as it's built, and there are two average food supplies, food from the lake as well as several hills. It's a fantastic city, and could act as an outpost to invade the Volga peoples if we so wanted.
However, the city will want to flip in about five centuries, so we will have troubles keeping control of Anatolia.
The biggest problem I see now is that the Turks will flip the Buddhist holy city and convert to Buddhism, as well as take a shrine away from us. The Buddhist Empire, I will call them when they make it to the stage.
It's quite funny how much a 3000BC start can change things. Instead of a fight between Islam and Christendom, it's now Islam versus Buddhism.
We also are expecting the Seljuk Turks to come very soon, so It's probably best if we have leaders that are geared towards militarization.

Voting closed.
Abd al-Jalil Senbi received one bay'ah.
Abd al-Karim Rimush received zero bay'ahs.
Abd al-Rashid Muhammad four bay'ahs.
And for the first time in many years, one candidate wins a majority vote among the governors of the Council.
Immediately after his election, Muhammad asked and consulted with the other Council members to see where it would be best to found a new city. He has then made his decision that the Muslims should found a colony in East Africa, where it is said to be abundant in resources.
Story coming soon.

Abd al-Rashid Muhammad ruled over the Ummah for around ten terms. Over that time, Muslim settlers were sent to East Africa to the Zanzibar (Coast of blacks) to urbanize the region. In order to get to East Africa, the transport ships had to pass the Ethiopian coasts. This is where things got messy in the Egyptian lands.
As Muhammad promised, warship production projects began in the three major coastal cities of the Ummah, Iskandariya, As-Sur and Al-Quds. Nearing the end of his term, there were at least three armadas on the Mediterreanean:
The East African Project:
To Muhammad, the expansion of Islam is an imperative goal, but not necessarily through force but by Muslim migrating to other lands. Muhammad decided that he would round up all the homeless from the Ummah and send them onto a ship heading for East Africa, where they could find a new home, in new lands:
Sana'a was considered the most peaceful city in the Ummah, and the city itself found the funding of its military to be a nuisance. So instead of disbanding them, Sana'a paid their troops to go with the ships that will travel south, In sha Allah:
The ships got as far south as the land of Somal, where Ethiopian coastal guards intercepted the ships and told them to return. As a result, the ships docked on the horn of Africa for a while, and are awaiting a command from the Caliph:
The Caliph tried to negotiate a rite of passage with the Ethiopians, but they refused. So Muhammad realized that the ships will have to cross the Ethiopian coasts without their consent, and that would cause war. Muhammad prepared for any conflict adequately, by sending the camel regiments from Anqarah to Egypt, training camel archers in Tell-Hisn and fortifying the urban cities along the Nile. The battlefield was drawn, and would commence soon:
The Violation:
Once Egypt was fortified, Muhammad ordered the ships to quickly cross Ethiopian waters. The Ethiopians reacted by declaring a state of war on the Ummah:
The Ethiopian-Muslim Wars:
The war started with a series of large skirmishes along the Nile's waters. The Muslims led the first asssault onto a fortified siege encampment that is guarding the Ethiopian elephants. It was successful:
Ethiopian horse archers made a swift retaliation, and charged onto the encampments protecting the Ummah's gold supply. The riders were quickly intercepted:
The Ethiopian Push:
The Ethiopians conducted a large assault on the gold mines in Egypt once again, this time bringing a large army consisting of foot infantry, cavalry and siege weapons. The danger was ever increasing, and Muhammad ordered conscriptions in Tell-Hisn and Abu Simbel.
Regiments from Babil and Makkah were also sent to Egypt. Abd al-Rashid himself is travelling to the battlefield, where he would eventually lead the armies:
Safe landing:
The immigrant ships were able to quickly pass the Ethiopian coasts without being attacked, and landed on the East African coast. At first, local peoples were contacted and the Muslims exchanged their knowledge for knowledge of the surrounding area.
The peoples were called the Zanj, or the blacks, and they were very friendly with the Muslim peoples. Eventually, an agreement was made in which the Ummah would help transform their society into an urban one in exchange for access to some of the resources of the area, including the silver and the abundant food resources. The Zanj accepted, and their city would be known to the Ummah as Zanzibar, or the Coast of Blacks:
Naval Skirmishes at the East Coast:
Fishing ships off the coast of Sana'a rumour about an Ethiopian fleet near the Horn of Africa that is making its way into the Ummah's coastlines. With no navy on the Red Sea, they could quickly ruin all the trade and fishing coasts of Arabia:
Slaves were bought and ordered to construct warships in Makkah. The warships made their way to the coast of Sana'a. Locals looking towards the south coast could see the warships in action.
What started as an exchange of arrows quickly descended into a bloodbath when the Ethiopians rammed their ships onto ours and jumped onto the decks. There was not a single place on any ship where there wasn't a drop of blood or corpses that had their souls separated from them.
The Muslims gained the upper hand when they all quickly jumped onto the enemy boats and started destroying it from the inside. With no ship to turn back to, the Ethiopians were easily subdued, and those who were alive were sold into slavery:

Grave situations in Egypt:
Ethiopian elephants were the terror of the Ummah's army, trampling any soldier and causing camels to flee. It took intense coordination to defeat these elephant armies.
As the armies were being defeated, the Numidians left their Oases, hearing stories about the war, and wanting to get a piece of the prize:
Buddhist Expansion into the Faranj:
Like a virus, the Buddhists quickly moved from the Volga River to Aix-la-Chapelle, which is a Frankish city according to Moorish scouts in the region. Europe is slowly but surely becoming a Buddhist stronghold.
Moorish Training in Egypt:
In celebration of the good relationship between the West and East Ummah, the Moors agreed to participate in a training exercise with other Muslim armies. Many tactics were learned from both sides:
The Horde of the Rashideen:
Abd al-Rashid Muhammad arrived at Egypt to help in the defense of the province. There, he ordered all the regiments to return to Al-Uqsur, where he would merge them into the Horde of the Rashideen. This army was fully equipped, well trained and fast:
The Caliph himself led the army, but he stepped down from political office, being the first Caliph to do so. When asked why he removed himself from office, he replied with, "I cannot ensure I will survive in the war, so I cannot continue leading."
The Caliph ordered the Muslim Council to congregate again and select a new leader. Three representatives stood out among the rest:
Abd al-Rahman Wosret:
An Egyptian Muslim who fought in the Muslim-Ethiopian wars. He wants to continue the war and conquer Ethiopia for the Ummah.
Policies:
-Build catapults and crossbows
-Completely conquer Ethiopia.
Abd al-Nur Sufyan:
A Muslim From Sana'a who survived the naval war off the southern coast. His brother was sent with the troops who have migrated to Zanzibar. He wants to go see his brother, but the coasts between the Ummah and Ethiopia are unsafe. He also wants to focus on the new colony and its development.
Policies:
-Capitulate Ethiopia.
-Send at least two workers to Zanzibar.
-Send one more military unit to Zanzibar.
Abd al-Hadi Haroun:
A Muslim from al-Quds. He believes that the Ummah is focusing too much on external affairs, while domestic affairs are rather poor. He believes the current Ethiopian-Muslim war is causing much damage, and he wants to end it as soon as possible and focus on scientific research.
Policies:
-End the war with Ethiopia.
-Have at least two cities building research.
-Have a total of ten scientist specialist throughout the Ummah.
