The Moors in Spain Explained

[Chowanoc]

The moors were also Hebrews! They are not just Muslims

[perico]

What nonsense, the kidnapped women could talk to you about tolerance, or the slaves who carried the bells from Santiago to Cordoba, as well as the greatest intellectual Averroes who ended up in Castile persecuted by his own people, or the different massacres of Christians in Cordoba, only an Anglo can say such nonsense.

[nthropos]

Will someone explain the controversy here?

The Ummayad and the Abbasid dynasties were Arab, but the Almoravid and Almohad dynasties were definitely black 💁🏿‍♂️

[ElmasoTiflet]

the moors from north africa were not black they were white. the original people from north africa are the berber people and they are fair skinned. It was the Berbers from North Africa and a small army of Arab soldiers who conquered Spain in and not black people from Senegal or Mali. if it was so that it was black people who had invite conquest of the Spain Where are the black people today in Spain. There are not any They look more like Moroccans Algeria and Tunisians people.

So why are they all depicted black? I mean Spain adopted about 40 words in Arabic because that was their language.

[JRSchwarzenhammer]

I'm pretty sure that they were known as the "Moops", not "Moors"

False false false. The Moors were Dark skin Europeans from Europe. Some pale skins called Muslim Moors during that time, but because the white wrongly identified some Muslim as Moors dont make them moors. But Moors are Moslem.
