By what measure did it peak and decline? By the fact, that another empire had supplanted it. Constantinople fell to the Turks in 1453. The following centuries were not part of any golden age of Islam. Ancient Greece fell to the Roman empire......that the civilization whose decline I was discussing and not the Roman Empire. Also the claim that parts of China and India became parts of the Islamic empire at its peak was made to engross the accomplishments of Chinese and Indian civilization into Islamic civilization. Which is very misleading. I showed you a map of the Islamic Empire that included parts of India and China. Why do you have such trouble accepting the truth. Tell historians your beef.....maybe they will change things to suit you. They don't have to. You're the only one who claimed erroneously that Chinese and Indian achievements were Islamic ones. I did. Show me. What I hadn't realized was when the Roman Empire moved its capital to Turkey, over time they began to speak Greek. The eastern Roman empire became Greek spearking before there was a Roman empire. Maybe so.....the official language was still Latin when the Roman empire moved to Istabul. The official language of the Roman empire, yes. That is irrelvant to what was the lingua franca in the eastern empire. Dude, I was not talking about the lingua franca......I was talking about the official language of the Roman Empire.
