The mass conversion to Islam among Persians was the first step toward the establishment of the first caliphate, a political religious state comprising all Muslim lands. At various times in history, caliphates have extended into Asia, Africa, and parts of Europe.

That's one of the reasons so much of what we've come to think of as Western science and mathematics and engineering was really worked out in the first few centuries of the Common Era by the Persians and the Arabs and the Turks.

It probably first established itself as a mindset when the Greeks, 25 centuries ago, perceived themselves as Western versus the Oriental Persians. Since the West has lost any clear territorial basis since then, the phrase the West has become a universal not a local notion.

The next year, the Persian emperor, Yazdegerd III, fled to the border province of Khorasan and the Arabization of Persia began, with Persians taking Arab names and converting to Islam. By 651, almost all major urban centers in Persia were under Arab control, adding momentum to the process.

While most of the world may have missed it, there is an ongoing competition between Iraq s Najaf and Iran s Qom over which city is holier.
