So Europeans all grovel in the shadow of Christianity's tyranny now ?
The Arabs didn't beat us. By the time they came the empire had already fallen. Literally fallen not metaphorically.
When the empire is standing, the Arabs and others alike fought dozens of wars for 100s of years and couldn't pass the borders with their armies.
And Islam is a religion not an ideology or a conquering entity. You need to try using your brain before talking.
And most of the Iranian empires with the exception of a handful came when it united under Islam against its enemies.
Since you don't understand or probably even know what the current situation in Iran is, its best that you don't start blurbing nonsense about it.
Iran went through a downturn of weakness in the last century and now its rising back up to a greater and larger influence and power than before. Just like every long living nation to ever exist, all must go through these phases to remove all the faulty parts that no longer works in the given time period.
Just like China and Russia and many other long living nations that are either hit their peak and now going towards and downturn before they rise again, or went through a downturn and now rising back up. Every nation goes through this.
And mind you, most western countries today are young nations. The oldest barely has a thousand years of history and it already went through these natural cycles.
Countries like Iran are much much older than that, and the conditions of the last century are natural phases that it must go through every few centuries.
And even with that, it was still strong enough to guarantee its survival as other nations occasionally don't have that ability when going through these periods.
