So? It's in the past! Why must muslims go on and on about this? Spain is no longer controlled by the muslims, it's a free democratic nation and part of the European Union. Most Spaniards don't know or care about this part of history, it was a long time ago! The same thing goes for the rest of Europe. Stop trying to bring back the past! Besides, the Arab world back then was very different that it is now...it was enlightened! Today, the middle east is backward and people are living in poverty!

As for the liberalism of the British you can thank Germany for that. England used to be and still is an ultra conservative society. They have no respect for non whites. Hitler during WW2 crippled the Briish fleet so they had to leave everyones country. 90% of the planet was being raped by england and France beforee WW2. WW2 was over 1945. India became independent 1947, China 1949, Afric 1955, Carribeans1958, etc. It is a historic irony that Hitler brought freedoms to minorities

Henceforth began the British Empire. Prior to the 1750's England was nothing economically. They made their wealth from India. At the sme time India was becoming the poorest country in the world England was becoming the richest. Even the national dish in England is curry inorder to commemorate those from whom they have stolen so much. Eventually the trade routes fell to Germany (1850's) who hosted the Berlin Conferences which oversaw the partition of Africa by Westerners.

Towards the late 1500's the french and dutch saw the lucrativeness of the trade routes so they went to war with Spain. The french followed Spains example and syphoned resources out of the old trade countres, i.e. India, China, and Africa. The Dutch even created the first business charter,"The Dutch East India Trade Country".The also began to. print paper money instead of using gold. Towards the 1700's the Dutch had enough to eat so they Abandoned their territories.

For example the formation of Presbyterianism, which is considered the frst christian religion was an attempt by the Scottsman Knox to distance West Europe from the Greco Roman control of religion i.e. Roman Catholicism. round the time the rebirth was going on the Arabs passed control of the international trade routes to Spain because it was an Arab and islamic country. Spain accumulated wealth and resources as weel as territories from the trade routes.

Enlightenment? LOL! Don't tell me you believe that cock and Bull Story. The Renaissance (1350-1500)was the time Europe and Asia spent recovering from the black plague. It was caused by rats. They got aboard the old Arab trade ships and contaminated the food supply. Renais. is french for Rebirth. It ended the Italian and Greek(Roman) control of Europe. The Romans brought civilization to West Europe but they subjugated and abused them.

@nmahangu Only Europeans went through THE REFORMATION and THE ENLIGHTENMENT and haven't been savages for eons - where as Muslims are savages NOW who even butcher THEIR OWN PEOPLE, lol. Try learning some history you ignorant ass - instead of paraphrasing some extremist Imam/Louis Farakhan's half baked take on history/ politics. Islam had its own slave trade and Saudi Arabia only abolished slavery - of almost entirely Black Africans- in the 1960s! Fact. You are one seriously ignorant asshole.

@nmahangu I think it is you who are ignorant, and Islamocentric. Western Europeans are in no way ignorant of Islamic culture, this documentary from a Western TV network celebrates it. Only your culture hasn't been admirable for a LONG time, now your leaders and many of your people behave like cavemen. Literally interpreting a text written in and for the 7th century. How would the West be impoverished without Arabs? If we didn't buy your fucking oil you would be. Btw the narrator is Somali, fool.

"Conquest" and "domination" are not things to boast about. You subject a people, steal most of what they have, build your own civilisation on top of the ruins and call that “glorious.” It’s just common, garden-variety barbarism - the history of humanity.
