Underwhelming. Rome had existed for over a millennium when the Quran was written. Kudos for a basic grasp of local geography and basic history.
Quote:That is utterly important; actually the prophecy it made in verse "3" did come true.
Really? When? Last I checked the Roman Empire collapsed a few centuries before your prophet was born.
Quote:The Roman-style allowed for fair elections, allowed for multi-cultural world; allowed for respect to the law -which Rome did-.
I don't think you know much about history. The Roman Republic was an oligarchy and the Empire was a dysfunctional dynasty. Neither had anything approaching fair elections. Try Athens instead. They're a few streets over and a couple of centuries ahead of the Romans in terms of governance. The Roman "multicultural world" included such high-minded advances as the destruction of the Second Temple period in Israel and the Sack of Carthage, just to name a few of the more prominent ones. They are the culture that coined the term decimation. Their "respect for law" amounted to imposing it at sword point and then ignoring it when it became inconvenient.
Go read a history book so you can make some arguments that don't sound utterly ignorant.
