If you wanted to see the Roman overcoming of ages look at the U.S.

I don't call the "leaving of proxies" a decisive fall.

What the consensus is, is that the sura mentioned is speaking about events during the 7th century, where there was a war between the Byzantine and the Sassanid Empire. You are welcome to demonstrate, why you of all people have the *correct* interpretation of sura 30.

...which leaves open the issue of your god being a shitty communicator. If he means Romans he could have written "Romans", and if he means "Byzantines" he could have written "Byzantines". Facepalm

Yeah, Quran is the most fabulous piece of arabic language, couldnt have been possibly written by human hand, but it cant tell the difference between "Rome" and "Byzantium". *Fabulous* indeed. Naughty

The verse did specify "explicitly" the Romans.
The Arabic word is "روم". I'll break it so you can read it:

ر = R
و = OO -or just U-
م = M

While "Byzantines" is:

ب = B
ي = Y
ز = Z
ن = N
ط = stressed T
ي = Y
ي = Y
ن = N

Make sure yourself; look at the verse and compare the words.
