How The Muslim Berbers Lost Spain & Portugal | Al-Andalus Documentary

Street Food Channel:
/ streetfoodbites
In the 11th century, the Muslim Taifa states were often engaged in fighting each other whilst being vulnerable to the increasingly ambitious Christian Kingdoms of the north. This opened the door for two successive groups of Muslim Berbers who emerged from the fringes of the Sahara Desert and were able to assert their authority over al-Andalus from the end of the 11th century until the beginning of the 13th century. Both the Almoravids and Almohads would play key roles in the story of Muslim Iberia; with both emerging at important junctures when the Christian Reconquista was gaining significant momentum. These two energetic and ferocious Berber groups proved to be worthy foes of the Christian Kingdoms, putting a stop to the momentum of the Reconquista, even if it was just temporarily.

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.

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)

The fall of Al Andalus continued with the rule of the Berber dynasties due to their strict interpretation of Islam that ended the Golden Age of multiculturalism. This especially occurred under the puritanical Almohads when the intellectual output of Al Andalus dropped drastically. Scholars like Ibn Rushd had their books burned and were banished from their positions. Non-Muslims were forced to flee like Maimonides who would be considered the greatest Jewish thinker. The initial successes of Almoravids and Almohads were really for not with the Christian forces routing them in the end.

[@kuroazrem5376]

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.

No one in Morocco speaks French or Spanish, yes we learn it in school because it is the language of business and foreign trade in Morocco, just as other countries learn English because it is the language of the world and trade But they are not official languages ​​in Morocco and no one speaks them at home or in the street, we have only two official languages ​​(Arabic and Tamazight/berber) But our daily language is Moroccan Darija, spoken by about 60% of Moroccans (which is a mixture of Arabic and Berber) and our language is considered the most difficult Arabic dialect, so that the Arabs of the Middle East don't understand us until they say that we are not Arabs(and in fact they have a right , we are not arab , we are moorish berber ) Our other language is Tamazight/berber spoken by about 40% of Moroccans، it is our original native language, and it has not become extinct. Millions of Moroccans still speak it in three dialects (Soussi berber/Rifien berber/Atlasi berber), and we still speak it, even though it is fading day after day in favor of Moroccan Darija

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,"

Amalgamating with the Pale skin Europeans was a sinful act . Amalgamation with the Pale skin Race was an abomination . The current inhabitants of Northern Africa are nothing but Hybrids, they are not the Original inhabitants of Northern Africa, Dark Olive skin people were the Original inhabitants . There's no such people or person as Black, the people skin complexion was Olive , like the shade of the darkest skin of an Eggplant, and that's bluish-purple. Olives do come in different shades, so Moors comes in many different shades, but the Europeans can't be Moorish. Moor is a culture, Moorish is the bloodline.
