Question

When we think of "The West" after the decline of ancient Rome, what do you think about?  The Germanic kingdoms that go on to lay the foundation for medieval Europe were only one of the "Three Heirs" of ancient Rome.  The other two were the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic empires.  Do they contribute anything to "western heritage?" Do you recognize them as "Western" cultures?  Do we, as a society, recognize them as such?  Should we?
