Somewhile ago, Mujahid786 made a thread about what if the Arabs (Ummayads, to be exact in Mujahid's case) had managed to conquer the Constantinople and by that the rest of reachable parts of the empire (in short, the rest) in no time afterwards. Somehow the Greek fire wasn't invented, Anatolia got unprepared to face Arab invasion,etc etc whatever can pave the way for the Arabs to march towards Constantinople and successfully conquer it. That discussion in sometime eventually touched if only for a bit, the section about how would be the world after that, with now the whole Hellenic world fell along with their oriental hellenistic counterparts into Dar al Islam. I'm particularly interested about this kind of world because with this now we can see the Persian civilization won't be alone anymore as IOTL, where it was the only Great Civilization that actually Islamified and counter influenced most of the Islamic world, and this is what has been exciting me the most!! Now, with Hellenic Civilization becomes the 2nd "Persia" ITTL, how would be becoming of Islamic World which will inevitably receive a strong stream of Hellenic cultural influence, generally ? What would be of Hellenic culture after it's Islamified, generally ? And the most importantly, how would be the relationship between the two Great Civilizations that were once rivals, now that both of them stand on a brand new stage, side by side ? Will we see an ultimate Delta Combination, a Love Triangle Cold War, or a violent reaction between two contra-polar reactants ? Will the Isl5 aqueous solution be a good catalyst for such reaction ?
