The Writings of Geoff Micks

(656 – 662 CE · Egypt, Palestine, Arabia, & Iraq) 

The Narrator discusses both the first civil war between Muslims, and the part Amr ibn Al-As played in both ending the struggle and driving deep divisions into the Islamic world in exchange for becoming the ruler of Egypt again. 

Based on Chapter 4 of End by Geoff Micks.
