A simple discussion. In my opinion, this is a war that over the years has been covered frequently but never has an actual victor been truly decided.

This is only taking into account the Arab Sunni Caliphates and their wars with Byzantium. So, Saljuqs, Fatimids, etc do not count nor do Ottomans or Crusaders unless said crusaders were used by Byzantium against Umayyad or Abbasid forces.

After that, I would like to get into an analysis of why the two states stalled out and went from great powers to essentially rump states; similar to the Sassanid-Byzantine situation.
