Churchill did have an interest in Islamic culture in his early life when he saw it practiced in its Wahhabi form in Sudan. He was involved in the Sudanese Mahdi revolt at the turn of the 20th century.
Muhammad Ahmad declared himself al-Mahdi (as he was against Ottoman Caliphate), created a state based on Sharia Law, patterned on the original Islamic laws of the Prophet Muhammad. This state was the beginning of an Islamic revolution that hearkened back to the theocracy of early Islam.
Spoiler!
But Churchill was an atheist and never seriously considered converting to Islam. He even criticised Islam in his book The River War, which bemoaned the treatment of women in Sudan.
Spoiler!
The Ottoman Empire held power for over 600 years and outlasted both the Czars and the Habsburgs, eventually meeting their end at the hands of the British Empire during WW1. The cause of the Ottoman monarch evoked religious passion and sympathy amongst Muslims in the British Empire (Sultan Abdul Hamid II previously launched a pan-Islamist program to brainwash Muslims worldwide in a bid to protect the Ottoman Empire at any cost).
Though Arab nationalists saw it as threat of continuation of Ottoman dominance of Arab lands, Muslims in South Asia sought to restore the Ottoman Caliph, who was considered the leader of the Muslims worldwide, as an effective political authority. They protested against the sanctions placed on the Ottoman Empire by the Treaty of Sčvres.
A lot of cucks in Western Europe respected the Islamic Caliphate when it was not shitting up their own countries. The Germans back then had a massive erection for Islam, Wilhelm II donated a marble coffin to the tomb of Saladin and loved Muslims.
Those that didn't during this period were the people that actually had to deal with it on a regular basis. So basically all the old Ottoman occupied territories as well as some British voices (Churchill famously hated Muslims after his experiences in India, although during WW2, he managed to find Ł100,000 to build the London Central Mosque, which he hoped would attract Muslim support for British side instead of Nazi Germany, he was told that there were more Muslims in the British Empire than non-Muslims by some cucked English Lord who converted to Islam).
When Britain started making overtures to India about being independent (or atleast fully autonomous) after WW1, Muslims decided now would be a good time to press for a separate Islamic state/region. Unfortunately Muslims had been routinely rioting and murdering prominent non-Muslim politicians (particularly Sikhs) which gave them a PR problem amongst the British who were understandably worried about giving them their own country.
So this Muslim Brotherhood in South Asia was made of intellectuals who blitzed the Western media at the time with tons of bullshit PR about how great Islam is. Ironically, they also tried to brown-nose their British overlords in India by saying that Islam is essentially Christianity unlike those heathen religions Hinduism and Buddhism, to a pretty limited extent. Their failed attempt to get a separate Muslim state triggered one of the bloodiest civil wars in the history of South Asia resulting in repercussions that are still felt today.
