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

  • thank you for ur great efforts in such enlightenment episodes

  • Replica of this European barbarism, brutality and inhumanity can be testified again & again in World War 1&2. Quantitatively, the maximum killings/slaughter of human beings & humanity was done by European Christians in the history of whole mankind. But they still harp the strings of human rights, democracy, tolerance,.........etc etc shamelessly. This hypocrisy and duplicity of these imperial powers are the cause of violence across the World.

  • @mewoone and you exclaime!, yet forced conversion to Islam is hardly unknown even in todays world. Yet did you ever think that maybe the Arabs shouldnt have been the aggressors invading Europe in the first place. Duh!

  • Despite all biases.............he has to accept the great traditions, openness and high moral & cultural values of Muslim Society and on the other hand the barbaric, immoral, inhumane, brutal and ruthless mind set of European Christians. This narrow & intolerable mindsets, biased and hater............. still can be smelled across the Europe.

  • I know mewoone,but since the Jews controls the media and everything else,only the Jewish oppression and fuck everybody else.

  • great documentary. the series should continue with two documentaries. how the christians ****** the native americans (north and south) and how Britain and the US are ****** the world today!

  • The comments in the last part of the video by the scholars really help us to understand about tolerating diversity and that borrowing and sharing knowledges from different cultures create a valuable input to the development of a nation, state/province or territory. The comments towards the end always promotes tolerance between people of diverse cultures and faiths. Well done to them and may God bless them for intending to bring good unto humanity.
