Obviously you guys have no knowledge of history.
Each one gets its chance.
Muslims ruled the world once including India and SE Asia and Malaysia (which was Hindu once until Parameswara converted to Islam when he married a Muslim beauty - lol)
At present USA is at the top.
Israel has about 120 nuclear weapons while the Muslims have a big 0.
No one will attack another nation with nuclear weapons unless the leader goes mad.
USA, Russia, and Europe are on the way out like the Islamic Empires when their light went out.
The next World Empire will be China unless Trumph TACO launches the first nuclear strike next year which will also be the end of this Earth.
AI Overview
Islamic rulers held significant global power from the 7th century CE, with the
Rashidun Caliphate (632–661) marking the initial expansion of Muslim rule into the
Byzantine and
Sasanian Empires. The subsequent
Umayyad Caliphate (661–750) and the longer-lasting
Abbasid Caliphate (750–1258) further solidified their control, creating a vast, interconnected "Islamic world". This "golden age" of Islamic influence, which lasted roughly until the 13th century, featured major political, cultural, and economic centers across the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Europe and Asia.
Key Islamic Dynasties and Empires:
- Rashidun Caliphate (632–661):The first four successors to the Prophet Muhammad, during which Arab Muslim forces rapidly conquered vast territories.
- Umayyad Caliphate (661–750):Expanded upon the Rashidun conquests, developing more established state structures with their center in Damascus, Syria.
- Abbasid Caliphate (750–1258):A long-lasting empire that continued to centralize and solidify cultural developments in the region, though the later Abbasid rulers became increasingly marginalized by other powers.
- Spanish Umayyads (756–1031):A distinct Islamic state established in al-Andalus (modern-day Spain) after the Abbasid overthrow of the Umayyads.
- Major Empires (15th–16th Centuries):Following the fragmentation of the earlier caliphates, powerful empires like the Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals emerged, controlling large swathes of the Muslim world.
- Ottoman Caliphate (1517–1924):This empire assumed the title of caliph and, by controlling the holy cities of Mecca and Medina after 1517, expanded its claim to leadership over the entire Muslim world.
The Peak of Influence:
The period from the 7th century through the 15th century is often considered the height of "Islamic rule," characterized by extensive land empires that connected Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and Central and South Asia. This era, often referred to as the
Islamic Golden Age (c. 8th–13th centuries), was a time of significant advancements in science, medicine, art, and philosophy.
End of Major Caliphates:
While various Muslim states continued to flourish and hold power, the major unified caliphates of the Rashidun, Umayyad, and Abbasid eras declined by the late medieval period, with the last major caliphate, the Ottoman, lasting until the early 20th century.
