The "Romans"[edit]

The Byzantine Empire in 650 - by this year it had lost all of its southern provinces except the Exarchate of Africa.
Further information: Byzantine Empire under the Heraclian dynasty

I know I've seen this in the media as well as in the article, but the claim that "Romans" refers to Christians seems pretty forced. I mean, our article says that Abu Hurayrah lived from 603 to 618 AD. Our article on the Eastern Roman Empire (note that the Western half fell in 476) provides the map at right for 650 AD. Note that Dabiq was near an international border between a Caliphate on the south and the Eastern Roman Empire to the north. I am thinking it might be appropriate to add this map to that section of the article to add a dose of reality to something that seems to focus more on interpretation of prophecy than the relevant history.

"Romans" is misleading. It is better to translate "Al-Rum" as "Byzantines". - Arabist — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.65.18.51 (talk) 19:49, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
