I view Al-Andulucian period as another great achievement on road to human progress. I see this as how Olympic Torch is handed from one player down to another player eventually reaching the final destination. The quest for knowledge passed from Greeks to Arabs and from Arabs to the Christian world each time taking humanity to whole new world of accomplishments. This should be noted as Human progress and should NOT be politicized as a Muslim or Christian thing.
WELL DONE!! Very Very nicely produced documentary from many aspects. I was thoroughly entertained:
a) The host has a very captivating and emotion-stimulating style of commentary.
b) Very good editing; piecing together of the history told in a new light showing Muslims as developers of Spain rather than destroyer. Full justice has been done to Muslims' contribution.
c) I love the way the story started with disproving and finally admitting that East is East and West is West.
That's an amazing documentary, doesn't matter who make or carry the knowledge. Its extremely important to protect history. I think Europe would have reached the climax of technology and science if they have adopted "curtuba" as an example; city of knowledge and harmony. But westerns were too ashamed to do so because they would have to accredit Muslims so they decided to wipe off the Muslim's heritage and create their own identity even if it has to slow them down.
After watching this documentary it's little wonder why Mexico, having the potential to be a super power, is internally crippled by the backwards attitudes and culture that we were smeared with by Spain. The Evil and progress-killing spirit of the inquisition still survives in Mexico intertwined with that abhorrent institutionalized racism mixed with arrogance and ego-centrism of the Spaniards. Many Mexican scholars see the same problems with how Mexican history is taught.
@xm377Moyocoyatzin Interesting insight. You know I have always wondered why did Mexico remained behind while her neighbor USA reached the height of progress. It is so unfortunate that EVEN living so GEOGRAPHICALLY contiguous to USA, no progress reached Mexico. Compare this to the past. How the knowledge seekers from eastern Europe would flock to Muslim spain and return to their countries igniting fire of Rennaisance. Why no such attempts were made by Mexicans????
@asherfawad They were made, over and over again but cannot fully succeed because 90% of the wealth is controlled by 10% of the population despite numerous efforts to topple the plutocracy that has been a cancer in Mexico for ages. Our Independence was consummated not by one Patriotic Army like in the United States but by two polar opposite armies that sealed a pact against Spain: The Conservative Army of Iturbide and the Liberal army of Guerrero. It's been Eurocentrics vs Indigenists ever since
Wow, what a great, eye-opening documentary. I myself am Mexican-American, and the Moorish-Islamic influence also extends to Mexico and Latin America, though, we may not realize it. I never realized how much the Moors have influenced the world. Schools and universities should teach more about the influence and contributions of Islam in the study of history. Thanks for the upload.
i'm guessing it hurts the Spanish people to realize what a rich background they have. that they are not the mighty they thought they where. i happen to find this so very interesting.
beautiful documentary.. its a documentary that relives the importance of history.. history is way more indepth then we even think and it is always special to hear the truthful side of history.. The muslims have the richest of all culture and they should be credited for their work in science whether it be astronomy, mathematics or medicine.. good work by the lady :)
Thank for uploading this documentary, id like to get to grenada now at least once in my life and see al-hambra for myself. History/truths should be told, not omitted, execellent documentary. Thanks again, : )
@StraightTalk2, StraightTalk2 is a racist KKK bigot with Western Christain influence. His/her aim is not talk sense but to preach hatred and start a Christain Al Qaeda against the World. He/she is an inquisitor and prefers torturing non-Christains rather than killing them. He/she sits in his room all alone banging at the walls yelling "I want to kill, and eat the brain of children". A blood thirsty Christian jackass. Such a dark religion is this Christanity.

29Jesus answered, "The greatest one is, "Hear, O Israel. The Lord our God is one Lord. - 31The second law is this: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' No law is greater than these laws." // So Are Muslims not are neighbors, that they are and we need to love them are are father loves us. True Christin's show their faith through charity and good deeds even to those whom they disagree with. That is the only way Christianity will grow and be at peace, A lesson that still needs to be learned
Cool, somehow, even from the Philippines I feel connected to the Moors since Spain ruled us for 300 years and applying their forced conversions on us.
Most of the modern world now, all it's knowledge and such are based of no one religion/ race or culture. It's this exchange of information from each one that produces kind of push, if you will, to the future.
@PetalBlueLite Moors are not Muslim they are African, this shit is hog wash. What how much do the Muslim pay them to lies about this history of ours. The Egyptian Empire, Axumite Empire, Ghana, Mali, is called Amexem-Moors-Empire. Moors mean black which the word come from Morocco northern Africa nothing Muslim about it, the only Islam about was the religion not the skin color. This Muslim is giving oil to steal African history and white elite do not care is long they get what they want team work
Great Video. The re-discovery of the truth through geographical entities of the day speak out loudly that people can turn theri back to the truth but can never run from it.. The truth shall revive it self and set the record straight.
Like he said, Spaniards and North Africans speak different languages, wear different clothes, practice different religions, have different likes and dislikes (eg guitar ham, gypsy music, wine.
Come on Fatima. Put your veil on. Friendly advice. If you go to Somalia, Eritrea, Saudi etc make sure you're not gang-raped because otherwise you'd be stoned to death ("not big stones which kill at once, or small stones which don't kill but medium-sized stones" lots of them)
I was watching some Spanish girls (in white shorts) at the Alhambra. They didn't know the function of the various rooms, didn't even notice the Arabic script , only noticed that the decoration es muy hermosa
Yes, but not all Spaniards, Italians, and Portuguese are dark...I've met many light skinned, haired, eyed Spaniards in Northern Spain and light skinned people in Northern Italy...the northern parts of these countries are lighter skinned and look quite different than the people in the southern parts of these countries...
@EnvyAbomination hmmm actually that's not the meaning we give in Spain, if someone is called moreno, is not because of their skin colour, usually a moreno in Spain is someone of dark hair and dark eyes, a French or German or Spaniard can be morenos.. now if you specify "piel morena" that's different, that would mean someone with tanned, or dark skin. Colonial peoples(Americans) use it exclusively to describe skin tone.
This is Islamic propaganda. But it shows that Europe has nothing to do with Islam.
The history of Andalucia shows that the Spanish want to remain Spanish. They do not understand the words on these buildings and even less the language of the Berbers who built them.
Today millions of Moors want to live in Spain, the Spaniards don't want them and this woman is paid handsomely by Arab iSLAMISTS.
I should have mention Islam where I put muslims, but I keep to my story is that the contribution of the moors was not religious based but science. science they have taken from Greece, India, China, Persia. By the way Marco Polo and others had made progress on there own traveling to china and back. We should also take that into account
Yes we should especially since the original people of Egypt and Mesopotamia (the Copts, the Assyrians and other Christians are endangered by the despicable actions of Muhammedans.
It is strange that this woman speaks about muslims instead of science. Muslims is a religion. Building, teaching, exploring knowledge is science. I don't think she can see the difference between them. And then again. And she could tell that it were only the moors not all moslim world. Althought I loved the programm I do have my doubt if this is good, or a contribution to the problems we face today. I'am not going on my knees to thank moslims, cause then I could thank everybody from the past. No
I agree with your sentiment but the aim should be to send back all Muhammedans ( with the full backing of the Law, of course, and in their own interests) swiftly and directly to their own Muhammedan lands.
I wish those racist and narrow-minded people against the Arabs/Moors and Al-Andalus would learn finally that this was the best period in the spanish history, and the only one where Spain was the envy of the whole world thanks to the arabs! Arabs did not destroy what was there..they only added up...Romans destroyed and killed wildly and noone says anything...not to say about the Catholic King and Queen...the first kind of Nazis ever and the conquest of America..HA!! And I am spanish if you wonder
@jcberard: I deformed, unfinish'd, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them; Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the sun And descant on mine own deformity: And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover, To entertain these fair well-spoken days, I am determined to prove a villain And hate the idle pleasures of these days...
The whining in the end unveiled the true purpose: To undo the enmity between Europe and the Orient, but this shall never be: "They formed--after a long truce--a new passage in the huge duel between the west and the east, which has been transmitted from the conflicts at Marathon to the present generation and will perhaps reckon its future by thousands of years as it has reckoned its past." - The eternal war between Europe and the Orient started in the antiquity and this is only another episode...
@rehanwaris Note: I am strictly against Islam in Europe but we should protect that part of our medieval heritage and realize that we were somehow influenced.
We should learn to respect ourselves without disregarding our history. To preserve is the watch word.
