Kurdistan is taking Azeri land in that map. Northern Iranians are mostly ethnic Persian and Azeri, not mostly Kurdish.

No Turkic migrations = at least everything from Morocco to Afghanistan big Isislandia
No Turkic Migrations = no Khazars = Constantinople falls before 10th century = Islam much more widespread than it is today (not some pockets in the Balkans but the bulk of Eastern Europe)
No Turkic migrations = no Turkic religious, ethnic and cultural tolerance/indifference = no Turco-Persian tradition and Sufism which replaced hardcore Islam = no Persians, no Armenians, no Greeks, no Kurds, no Georgians and many others, just like today's 'Egyptian' Arabs and 'Lebanese' Arabs.

Be careful what you wish

Busted. Bosniensis disliked your post because Turkey is too small. Bosniaks are the Balkan's Filipinos. Grateful to Turkey for bringing them their religion, whereas the Pinoy is grateful to Spain for that.

Samanid Persians (south Central Asia after Umayyads) weren't Sufis. They had Arab ideology. Their missionaries converted Turks.
There is no Turco-Persian tradition in religion, that's just in Seljuk, Gazhnavid, Turkmen Khwarezmian state system.
Religion can't change, that's stable system.

Persians are religiously much into it.
Turks were always more liberal due to lifestyle and genetics.

Middle East would not have been fractured like this. If you see through historical developement of the region, you would see big empires covering most of it. Anatolia is usually battlefield between Middle East and Balkan empires. Several Middle East balkanization periods are results of foreign interventions, including current one. So instead of arabs/turks there would have been just another middle eastern empire, persian most likely, or middle east would have been consumed by pan-balkan entity.
