[@nazeem8680]

I think you make a mistake to assume that Arabs are comparable to Romans. Berbers and Arabs are not foreigners to each other but brothers in faith. Berbers were invited by Islamic scholars to protect against Christians and they did so for 200 years. Without the Berbers Al Andalusia would have fallen in 1100-1200, instead of 1492. Never divide the Muslims up into ethnic groups and foreigners Muslims are one United Islamic group

[@nazeem8680]

@@mayankbisht7691 Yes i know, im just saying at the time of al andalus, ethnic division was the least of the problems of the andalusians. They just wanted protection from their rulers and christian raids, and they invited the almohads and celebrated when they came with open arms. there are poems about this and letters from numerous cities inviting almoravids to come to al andalus. Almoravids at first had no interest and then they came and defeated the christians in sagrajas and left again, because they were not interested in land expansion into iberia. But constant appeals by andalusi people to save them from tyrannical taifa rulers eventually persuaded yusuf ibn tashfins soft heart to intervene and put a stop to the chaos in andalus.

Al Andalus occupies a special place in Islamic history and folklore. It is looked at with wonder and sorrow as well because Muslims were eventually ethnically cleansed from the region after the reconquista. In his poem, Tarana-e-Milli (Song Of The Community), the great Urdu literattaeur Allama Iqbal makes a reference to Muslim Spain: "Ay gulsitaan e andalus! Wo din haiN yaad tujh ko. Thaa teri DaaliyoN par jab aashiyaaN hamaara." Translation: O garden of Andalus, you will remember those days. When our abode was a nest on your branches." Iqbal also indirectly referred to Andalus in his classic Shikwa.

[@arabprogressive6971]

Many of the Jews were already ethnically cleansed by the Almohads, which were one of the Berber dynasties, that made an ultimatum that the non-Muslims either convert or die. Those who converted did so out of fear of death and practiced their religion in secret.

[@Cyan_Nightingale]

Stop the playing victims. Remember that Judaism people were suffered because of Granada 1066 AD tragedy. Remember that nonmuslims suffered from Almohad Reforms in 13th century, which hundred years much earlier than the aforementioned Spanish Inquisituon (and the Almohad puritanism might inspired the Spanish Inquisition)

I personally think that the problem is that neither the Almoravids nor the Almohads had any real interest in Al-Andalus, as their domains lied in North Africa. However, I do think that, given time (which the Taifas didn't really have), a capable leader would have conquered the whole Al-Andalus, thus unifying the Muslims again under native rule. This would have been slightly better as local rules had a more vested interest in maintaning their domains than foreign conquerors. I think the situation is similar to that of China, which was divided into warring States several times, conquered by barbarians from the north, until they unified under a powerful centralized State that protected the frontiers, with varying degrees of success. In fact, I'm writing a novel on the subject. So, if you want to contribute, let me know.

The Berbers never really got along with Arabs. Even to this day.

[@mirzabaig17]

well back then they got along as nationalism and tribalism wasn't as important

[@tw3ist]

Generally they do get a long and share a rich history

[@miracleyang3048]

Nah Almohads Berbers hated other Berbers more than Bedouin arabs, and Andalusians simply disliked everyone who wasn't them

[@majuscule8883]

France is the reason why Berbers and Arabs don't get along. They promoted the Berbers as perpetual victims and Arabs as agressores, but France killed both Berners and Arabs equally and are labeled as Muslims.

[@RichardEdwards40]

Musa’s initial reconnaissance missions to Spain returned with reports of great splendors and beauty-both animate and inanimate-further whetting Muslim ambitions.§ During one of the subsequent raids in 710, the Muslims “made several inroads into the mainland, which produced a rich spoil and several captives, who were so handsome that Musa and his companions had never seen the like of them.”4 The feeling was not mutual. It appears that the westernmost people of Europe saw Islam’s newest converts, the Berbers, much the same way as the easternmost people of Europe saw Islam’s original converts, the Arabs: unfavorably. According to al-Maqqari’s chronicle, Whenever some of the scattered tribes of Berbers inhabiting along the northern coast of Africa happened to approach the sea shore, the fears and consternation of the Greeks* would increase, they would fly in all directions for fear of the threatened invasion, and their dread of the Berbers waxed so greatly that it was instilled into their nature, and became in after times a prominent feature in their character. On the other side, the Berbers having been made acquainted with this ill-will and hatred of the people of Andalus towards them, hated and envied them the more, this being in a certain measure the reason why even a long time afterwards a Berber could scarcely be found who did not most cordially hate an Andalusian [people of Spanish/Christian descent], and vice versa.5 Once on Spanish soil, the Islamized Berbers’ “cordial hate” manifested itself. Thus, during another early raid, a Berber chieftain “set fire to their houses and fields, and burnt also a church very much venerated amongst them. He then put to the sword such of its inhabitants as he met, and, making a few prisoners, returned safe to Africa.”6 Successful raids further bolstered dreams of wholesale conquest. By the end of April 711, Tarek was ready. At the head of “an army of seven thousand men, chiefly Berbers and slaves, very few only being genuine Arabs,"

Most of them baptised But underground they were practicing Judaísm and that was why the Inquisición punished them.....when they were muslims or jews the Inquisición could not harm them.....as Soon as the baptised they were obliged to be only Christians so Many of the jews were spelled too.

Nice synopsis only wish you explored the cooperation between the Muslims & Christians in fighting perceived enemies - both other Muslim taifas and Christian states. Religion, though presented as a black-and-white issue, is never that clear-cut. Wats are always fought over land - getting it,, holding it, and exploiting it. Religion is used to recruit fighters; always has and always will. Crusades, reconquesta, the 711 conquest of Iberia - all were to get more land.

[@hassaanalisiddiqui3827]

If Spain had remained Muslim, then Europe would have to fight on two fronts. The ottoman empire in the east and the Al Andalus in the west. The battle of Lepanto had considerable Spanish help, without it, the ottomans would've been victorious and the two could've formed an alliance to attack Italy in a two pronged attack.
