Persians were civilised people who fought honourably, the barbarous Arabs and Turks are not.

Arabs came after the Romans and Persians had beaten the shit out of each other.

Turks were early pioneers of gunpowder.

No they didn't.

End of the Byzantine-Sassanid War had both sides barely scrapping together 10,000+ men for the final battle. How the fuck would the Persians alone have hundreds of thousands of men 8 years later? Especially in the seven years before that there were constant civil wars for the throne and a plague wiped out over half of Persia's entire western population?

Because Egypt and Syria practically opened the gates for the Arabs since the Byzantines were such shitty rulers.

Why didn't they open the gates for the Persians?

Because Persians were heathens, while Islam wasn't even considered a new religion, but rather an Arabic, antitrinitarian version of Christianity.

>I have no idea what I'm talking about
The Persians were still peacefully occupying Byzantine-Egypt a year after the war had officially concluded between Heraclius and Kadavh II.

To my knowledge, the shitty lives for the natives didn't start until the last wars between the Byzantines and Persians, where the Byzantines had to heavily tax their provinces to make up for the losses. Muslims came along with a cheaper tax (jizya) and promised protection. That and the Egyptians at least already had an established relationship with the Arabs. It was an ideal choice than sticking with two decadent empires.

I don't think you know what "decadent" means.

About as much as Allah wills a water stain leaking into a tissue.
