Bhass,I can see you are very very intelligent by boycotting my questions..I am not arguing with you and if you in any way insult me its nothing to be angry about because a lot of people passed through school but they didn't allow school to pass through them,in other words they lack manner..I asked you simple questions..I am really interested in how,why and when Muslims entered Spain..who forced them to leave and so on.. You here saying rubbish..I didn't read that from the Internet,I was thought in a Spanish school in Barcelona..Talking about Islam,half of my relatives are still Muslims till date and I know much about Christianity and Islam..so don't be confused Brother...just answer the questions ...you can't in anyway lecture me If I need any lecture about Islam,I have people who are from the same origin with Islam as friends so they know better than you do..
@tmaxdon Ohh yes..... its just so annoying to me that some people make it seem like they did not pass through school at all though their parents might have wasted a lot of money on their "education"... it never really had any useful impact on them. U want to ask a question and could not think of a polite way to ask? I was wondering......what do u think you know about Islam?..Perharps ur lack of manners is what keeps u so ignorant or uninformed about this because how could someone who had studied in barcelona SPAIN!!! and has muslims as relatives and most Importantly has a lot of "knowledgeable" muslim friends..did not know that Islam ruled spain (cordoba beign capital) from a period 711-1492)? thats a period more than 700 years!!
The conquest took place in the year 711 when the then governor of north Africa Musa bin Nusair in response to a plea from a christian chief julian against tyrannical Visigoth ruler of Spain, Roderick..sent an army of about 17,000 men under the command of the young general tariq bin zayd to spain. Since u said u studied in spain, u might now of a mountain there..its called Gibraltar. This name is coined from the term jabal tariq which means " the mountain of tariq". It is called so because it is the rock beside which the muslim army landed under the command of tariq. Tariq was an oustanding general with a lot of war skills. In a nutshell, the he Muslim army defeated the Visigoth army easily, and Roderick(then spanish ruler) was killed in battle.After the first victory, the Muslims conquered most of Spain and Portugal with little difficulty, and in fact with little opposition. By 720 Spain was largely under Muslim (or Moorish, as it was called) control.
Golden Age
The muslim period in spain is described as the golden age..This is because spain thrived to its peak economically and commercially and there was an incredible understanding between the mulims and other religions in spain at that time. It is noted that Islam brought a civilization that had an impact not only on spain but on the whole of europe whom were still living in the dark ages with corruption and ignorance. The muslim rulers never oppressed the masses nor were they forced to convert to islam. They were left to practise their religion in peace and the muslims tolerated them and there is a spiritual understanding. Most of the spanish people converted at their own free will because they were impressed at the transparance and truthfullness of the muslims. They enjoyed the just leadership of the muslim rulers which is far from the corrupt past leadership of spain. the Muslims in Spain established libraries, colleges, public baths and literature, poetry and architecture flourished.
Spain, under Muslim rule, became a beacon of art, science and culture for Europe. Mosques, palaces, gardens, hospitals and libraries were built. Canals were repaired and new ones were dug. New crops were introduced from other parts of the Muslim empire and agricultural production increased. Andalus became the granary of the Maghrib. Manufacturing was encouraged and the silk and brocade work of the peninsula became well known in the trading centers of the world. Andalus was divided into four provinces and efficient administration was established. Cities increased in size and prosperity. Cordoba, the capital, became the premier city of Europe and by the 10th century had over one million inhabitants.
This went on till 1492 when the muslim spain was defeated and muslims lost spain..the Christian rulers issued an order requiring all Muslims to convert to Christianity, (note this is in contrast to the muslim rule in spain. the muslim rulers never forecd any christian to convert) and when this didn't work, they imposed brutal restrictions on the remaining Spanish Muslims. The muslims were either asked to convert or get killed!.. what a cruel and satanic demand of the christians.
Note that I cannot tell you the whold history here in nija pals.. summarised to shed some light on ur ignorance..U must research for urself if u re really interested in this as u claim to be.U might not here of this often because christina s in spain and europe hate to spread the information for it showed how truthfull islam is as a religion and how wrong they are
