>In 653, an Arab force under Muslim caliph Muawiyah I captured Rhodes...
>CONFLICT BETWEEN "MUSLIMS", AND "CHRISTIANS", IN THE YEAR "653".
>"THE BATTLE OF VIENNA", YEAR "1683"; A CONFLICT BETWEEN "MUSLIMS", AND "CHRISTIANS".
>BOTH EVENTS INDICATE A GENERAL PERIOD OF CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TWO FACTIONS.
>SUBTRACT ONETHOUSAND TO "1683", AND THERE REMAINS "683", A YEAR VIRTUALLY CONTEMPORANEOUS WITH "653".
> ... and according to The Chronicle of Theophanes the Confessor...
>THE EARLIEST EXTANT EDITION OF THEOPHANES' "CHRONICLE" DATES TO THE YEAR "1655".
>SUBTRACT ONETHOUSAND TO "1655", AND THERE REMAINS "655"; TWO YEARS AFTER THE EVENT RECORDED IN THE "CHRONICLE".
CONCLUSION:
— BOTH EVENTS ARE CONTEMPORANEOUS.
— THEOPHANES' "CHRONICLE" IS A FORGERY.
— THIS VERSION OF THIS EVENT IS NOTHING BUT A MALICIOUS PERVERSION OF HISTORY, ONE OF THE PURPOSES OF WHICH IS TO VILIFY THOSE REFERRED TO AS "MUSLIM ARABS".
