Lol, there were no Muslims at Thermopylae. Muslims don't arrive on the scene for another millennium.

Muslims don't arrive for about 1200 years ??? (Math challenged).
I was thinking geneology from Abraham. Trust me. Freedom44

"...But far on San Jacinto's field the Texan toils are set
And Alamo's dread memory the Texan steel shall whet.
And fame shall tell their deeds--who fell, till, all the years are run,
Thermopylae left one alive----the Alamo left none."
-- James Jeffery Roche, "The Men of the Alamo."
