This article seems like a redundant part of the Islamic conquests article. Can anyone give me a good reason why it deserves its own? (The fact that it's little more than a stub doesn't help) Palm_Dogg 03:22, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
I recently joined the
Military History Project saw a request for this article's expansion. So I've added more to this article: pictures, sources and expansion in general. There's still more to do, but I'm pleased with what I've added so far and hopefully it will be above stub status soon. :-)

Who won this war? The article says it was a Muslim victory, but its final battle was a "Decisive Byzantine-Bulgarian victory" (see Siege of Constantinople (718) article). I would have said it was a Pyhrric Byzantine victory, considering signifcant territorial losses occured, but the Arabs were forced back from the walls of Constantinople and their fleet sunk.

Whoever deleted the 800's to 1071 section, dont. Its true, there were conflicts and the Byzantines did suffer defeats and win soem major victories. At the moment, it looks like the two powers only fought for a hundred years. The Byzantines invaded Egypt in the 12th century. Look it up!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.6.230.65 ( talk • contribs) 03:22, 12 November 2006
I added the wars after the eighth century. This article is very bad in that one assumes that the wars only lasted until the eight century when IN FACT THEY CONTINUED. If the section about the latter Byzantine Arab wars is removed, I WILL re add it because its pathetic that the all important re-conquest isn't shown. Byzantium became a superpower in the eleventh and twelth centuries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.6.230.65 ( talk • contribs) 02:19, 15 November 2006
I must salute the editors whom edited the later conflits. I was pressing for their inclusion. Thank you for your contributions, it now looks much more like an article than a stub that misleadingly focused on only one part of teh conflict. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.6.230.65 ( talk) 01:24, 9 December 2006 (UTC).
