In this episode we will discuss the Arab wars with the Khazars in the 7th and 8th centuries and the rise of Roman Emperor Justinian II. These wars ended with the Muslims forcing the Khazars to convert to Islam around 737AD, but the nomadic Turks only converted to Islam by mouth and not by action. Seven years later around 744AD the Khazar Khaganate converted to Judaism but we will discuss that in episode 3. This episode only covers the series of battles that took place between the two groups.
