That's an interesting point. An alternate universe where either
a) the Byzantines held out or b) the Byzantine leadership took the
reins of Islam--like Christian emperors of Rome--and married Islam
to the Greco-Roman tradition? Then you might have a tripartite
division in Islam--Sunni, Shi'a, and Byzantine!
Now that I think of it, that would be a *very* interesting world
indeed. If you don't like it, Geordan, I may use it myself. :D
Anyways, don't take these as prescriptions or even recommendations.
As Borislav points out, it's your universe--but I'm just having
some fun thinking about the possibilities. Again, I say, whatever
you do, don't ditch that name. It rocks.
