A palace coup dethroned the the OMAYADS e replaced them with the ABASSIDS
as a result AL ANDALUS (Spain) breaked away and the surviving OMAYADS estabilished there an INDIPENDENT EMIRATE.
About twenty years later CALIPHATE WAS SHATTERED in TEN (YES!) EMIRATES (see map)
THEY WERE
maybe THE BEAST OF REVIVED ROMAN-GRECIAN-ISLAMIC EMPIRE will SEND THEM TO CONQUER THE REST OF THE WOLD?
