No, you can’t go back to Constantinople.
In my freshman year of college, I made a bet with my suite mates that the event was so transforming to Western society and world events that I could bring it up and use it in every class in the coming four years.
Professors were often taken off stride when I would bring it up in some way during a class and several other students might start laughing (suitemates in on the joke). Fortunately all my classes were liberal arts instead of hard science and that made it easy.
“Indeed, as Byzantine historian John Julius Norwich puts it, Had the Saracens captured Constantinople in the seventh century rather than the fifteenth, all Europeand Americamight be Muslim today.
There wouldn’t be an America or a Europe if it had been Muslim.
And Europe won’t last much longer thanks to their suicidal policy of importing Islam.
