Quoting: MissCleo Sunni = Royal Family (not direct DNA from Muhammed) Shia = Madhi (the "divine guidance" resurrected, not from the Koran) From what I understand the elite of the Abbasid caliphate had for the most part internally adopted secular Persian customs with a veneer of Islamic religious ceremony for the purpose of public relations. The "Golden Age of Islam" was in a sense more of a revival of the Persian empires of old than a manifestation of any Islam induced flourishing. |

I wouldn't glorify Islam in any Age, it's been a violent cult since the beginning. Maybe they had high hopes but always lacked the virtue and management capability to carry out anything except their violent nature. But yes, the wane and waxing of Persia is what's important. |
