"Without Islam the Frankish Empire would probably never have existed and Charlemagne, without Mohammet, would be inconceivable" is a famous dictum by Belgian historian Henri Pirenne first put forward in 1922 in the Belgian journal Revue belge de philologie et d'histoire[1].
Its original French reads "Sans l'Islam, l'Empire franc n'aurait sans doute jamais existé, et Charlemagne sans Mahomet serait inconcevable."
