How did Muslims take control after the fall of the roman world?
The Muslims did not take control after the fall of the Roman world. The Muslims, or better the Arabs, conquered Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt and eastern Libya, seizing them from the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantines retook Lebanon, northern Palestine and part of Syria in the 960s and 970s and lost them when in the 1080s when they were defeated in the Byzantine-Seljuk Wars with the Seljuk Turks. The Byzantine Empire continued to exist until 1453. Byzantine Empire is a term which has been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part. The Romans did not use this term, they called it Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania). The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople by the emperor Constantine the Great in 330. It is used to indicate the fact that not long after the fall of the west, this empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character after it lost most of its non-Greek territories. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620, some 150 years after the fall of the west.
Why do Moroccans believe in Sunni Islam?
Answer 1What is the problem? The Majority of Muslims are Sunnis (over 85%). However, both Sunnis and Shiaa Muslims differ in minor and side issues and both agree on the basic Islamic issues. So, it doesn't make so much difference to Sunni or Shiaa Muslim. Refer to question below.Answer 2As for Morocco in particular, there are particular historical reasons why Morocco currently has a Sunni Muslim majority. Prior to the arrival of the Islamic Armies in the late 670s and 680s Morocco was primarily Animist with small populations of Christians (especially along the Mediterranean Coast) and small populations of Jews (in the Atlas Mountains). Morocco converted to Sunni Islam quite rapidly in the 680s and 690s CE since many Amazigh (Berbers) wanted to take part in the new Umayyad Empire.However, a small minority of Moroccans embraced Zaydi Shiite Islam and used the religious difference to promote self-rule, leading to the independent Shiite Idrissid Dynasty in the 780s to the 970s. The Fatimids eventually conquered the area bringing about a period of Ismaili Shiite Islam in Morocco. By the time that the Almoravids conquered most of Morocco in the 1040s, Morocco was mostly Shiite.However, the Almoravids were Sunni from the Maliki School and pushed for the increasing dominance of Sunni Islam. After the Almoravids came the Almohads who discriminated harshly against Shiite Muslims and led to most of the country becoming Sunni from the Maliki School. From this point forward, every Moroccan Dynasty would support this form of Islam until it became almost unanimous, save for the Jewish and Christian populations still in the country. The Christians departed for the most part after the colonial period. The majority of the Jews left after the Establishment of the State of Israel, leaving a community of less than 4,000 individuals in Morocco.
