Islam

node

Reached Central Asia by conquest and settled by commerce. The campaigns of Qutayba ibn Muslim took Bukhara in 709 and Samarkand in 712, and the Abbasid and Karluk victory at Talas in 751 fixed the limit of Tang influence in the west. Under the Samanids from 819 to 999, Bukhara became one of the great centres of learning in the Islamic world. Further east the transmission was gradual and mercantile rather than military: the Kara-Khanid ruler Satuq Bughra Khan converted in the tenth century, and Kashgar, long a Buddhist city, became an Islamic one. A belief system, not a place.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
