What killed the Roman Empire was Islam.

There is a very good study by a Christian historian that tries to prove that Judaism killed the Roman Empire. Because of the Maccabees and the Zealots, so many Roman armies ere tied up in Judea or outright destroyed in Judea, that the Empire did not have enough troops to really fight the Germanic hordes.

Just a thought.

Who was fighting them, The Peoples' Front of Judea, or The Judean Peoples' Front?
