4/5 The Rise And Fall Of Islamic Spain Part 2

Over a thousand years ago, Europe experienced one of its greatest periods of cultural enlightenment.

For more than three centuries in Medieval Spain, Muslims, Jews and Christians lived together and prospered in a thriving multicultural civilization. Here, remarkable individuals of different faiths made lasting contributions in such areas as poetry, art, architecture, music, dining etiquette, science, agriculture, medicine, engineering, navigation, textiles, and even hydraulic technology.

Their rich, complex culture reached a high point in the Mediterranean Middle Ages. However, larger forces in conquest of land and power brought about puritanical judgments, absolutism and religious extremism. The conflict they triggered extinguished the shared learning that once flourished in this enlightened land

Then the European christians used the Islamic knowledge against them.

at least the puritanical muslims from northern africa in spain allowed the jews to leave al-andalus. the puritanical spanish christians in this video tortured and killed the jews simply because they're jews during the black plague. regardless on whom you're targeting, intolerance is always a bitch. anyway, i like all the videos on 'the rise and fall of islamic spain'. thanks for posting all the videos.

Funny they blame it on the tolerance of Jews. Nowadays they blame homosexuals. Who will they turn on next?

[melbourneopera]

I don't know why christians and Muslims always blame the crime on Jews, blood libel and "killing Jesus" are already the misleading idea which doesn't base on biblical teaching, but rather base on the fact of hatred and non-sense.
