Because I think both empires had still enough resources and manpower to beat muslims easily, on paper; even despite that one last long war that utterly drained them and devastated them both. They just got outskilled and beaten by desert dwellers lol, while often outnumbering them significantly. Khalid Ibn al-Wallid was a legendary muslim general from that time period and participated in most of the campaigns, and was literaly undefeated in like over a 100 battles

I just find the description odd, per the description of *badass, As on one hand people are so worried about the war over in Israel v pales., And on the other, we are saying how badass the wars of (...) are...

p.s. im not sure which historic wars we are speaking to... ... i mean i could create a list, Like... Late Antiquity — to 1900s theres just too many, even still, its just confusing me, the ratio of badassery v. the ratio of real worry about todays wars in the middle east. Everyones gotta make up their mind, whether their sentiment on war is overall passive, or if it IS a real worry, cause now im seein alot less overall worry.

(cont.) There is like a real disconnection happening right now. Like, i cant follow everyone if you all keep changing-it-up on me, cause im here thinkin wars are B.A.D., like BÆD Bad ...  And then some else says "Badass". That's demonstrating staggeringly different attitudes towards the same subject matter.

I meant earliest muslim invasions from aproximately 632 to 752 ad, I don't mean modern wars in any way, shape or form. I assumed everyone would be able to derive this from my post since we were mentioning Mohammed, and yeah obviously I am completely emotionally disconected from that era

That counts as late antiquity, atleast in Peter Brown's work. The details of what you were on about werent what i was interested in anyway, it was the larger sentiment on war (see also, other threadz, to understand it)

You guys are armchair speculating how happy people here in the Muslim world, some people are happy but most people are living a miserable life, poverty misery health issues,  some people in Egypt are living life more hellish than the hell description in the Islamic literature
the happy people are he one that has very stable family and very successful and stable marriages and a great health most people here are too foolish to have all of that at the same time lol
