It’s insane to think how Arabs were so much close to world conquest but thankfully Umayyads lost and Arabs lost more territories afterwards.
I’m glad for that,I wish Arabs would fail at Anatiolia, Center Asia. People at Turkey are still experiencing identity crisis,much of their culture replaced by a religion and they’re thinking Arabic is superior to everything.
Fun fact: He was later given the nickname Martellus (“the hammer”), which is bad ass af.
