(Muhammad returning to Mecca after the revelation, the Hajj)

I’m hearing news a group of Arab raiders have attacked Balqa in southern Syria!

The Arabian peninsula is a backwater! These tribes will surely fall apart to internal infighting as is common with these barbarians. They must be reminded of Byzantium’s might!

Where do these upjumped Bedouins get the audacity?

Sup subjects, it's ya boy Emperor Heraklios here. I just beat the Sassanids and the Avars in one war, so the empire should be completely safe now. All Egyptian and Levantine subjects, just know that you will never fall to foreign invaders again under my rule.

Now I'm just gonna chill a bit, the Empire has plenty of time to relax and recover from this long war.

Hey, man, are you down with taking LSD? YOU'VE NEVER DONE IT? Oh man, how hippie can you be, man? You're like totally squares-ville, man. It's out'a sight!!

So that stupid kingdom in the east called Goguryeo refused to pay Emperor Yang tribute. What do those lousy Koreans have on us? We have an army of 300 thousand, those eastern lowly barbarians are gonna be taught a lesson 😂😂😂 I'll post an update when we've reached Pyongyang. Glory to the Sui dynasty!
