The Decline of Moorish Power In Spain - Part 2

[redbeakman]

Crushing the moors is the only thing that allowed the West to advance to the liberal and advanced civilization that it is.

the moors was not arab they was berbers with a little arab blood from the early invasion. so when the moors went to europe they was not arab. they was berber dna(e1b1b1)=not arab blood.

did this man publish a book calledunderstanding the decline of moorish power if so where can i get it ? lookes at amazon could not find it

[worldwildwest]

i have nothing agains this fella speaking in favor of his Moorish roots and it's past tense conflicts with european evolutionary process, the invading moor's failed attempts to settle in southern europe had a purpose, just like nowadays most of us are having a hard time coexisting with our own cultural diferences.

How Spain got their complexion? Ah Spain is a very diverse country most of northern Spain is white there are blonds and redheads in northern Spain with Nordic skin colour and featuresnot all Spaniards are dark and most dark Spaniards are in Andalusia

And for those who do not know it, the classical knowledge that was at the origin of the renaissance was preserved in the east roman empire, the richest, most cultured land in the world until its destruction by islamic hordes from the east some 500 years ago.

Ziegle9876, the knowledge that was preserved came from the Moors and it was studied by the Roman Catholic Church behind closed doors. It was translated into Latin and they suppressed most of this information from the people to have power over them. Keep in mind that 99% of Europeans at that time were illiterate. The Roman Catholic Church wanted to keep it that way. They persecuted the Moors but took their knowledge to bring them out of the Dark Ages.

[ziegle9876]

The Moors did not contribute to ANYTHING except slavery, piracy and murder. All intellectuals on the Sultan's court were non-moors, non-arabs. It was the most repressive intolerant and retrograde regime imaginable. Only with the reconquista and the necessary removal of subversive elements during the inquisition could freedom and culture be restored.

Ziegle9876, thank you for your comment. It is obvious that you have not studied history to find out who the Moors really were and what contribution they made to Europe. Apparently you haven't watched the entire video and probably haven't read "The Golden Age of The Moor" by Dr. Ivan Van Sertima.

If you study Europe at the time of 711 A.D. when they Moors went in because Barbarians had control of the Iberian Pennisula, you will see that they made significant contributions.

@ziegle9876 - "removal of subversive elements during the inquisition could freedom and culture be restored" - WOW! you are really brainwashed if not disturbed. I just wanted to make that comment I didn't mean to disturb you during visiting hours...please continue to take your meds and attend group therapy meetings.

@ziegle9876 Did that freedom and culture involve kicking both the Jews and African Moors out of Spain?
