Arab and spanish

I�m certainly not anti-Arab. You�re just not used to discussing a topic with someone who is genuinely well informed on the topic of peninsula history. This is why you constantly resort to intimidating anyone with a different view.

So you aim to prove fantasies by providing more fantasies? It�s no wonder you know absolutely nothing about genuine history. If you call a modern book written by English authors with a set anti-Catholic agenda, primary source then you�re deluding yourself.

Quoting English historians on the topic of Spanish history would be like quoting a book on WWII Germany which was written by a Jew.

How about you read what Arabic and Persian historians recorded about Al-Andalus or is this too much to ask?

The Mongols conquered large civilizations from China to Persia but it doesn�t mean they themselves were an advanced or a great culture � at least not in my definition of great culture for they lived in tents and didn�t even have a writing system of their own. Their writing system was adopted from one of the cultures they conquered.

It�s obvious you haven�t being paying attention. If you had, you would�ve noted that I don�t deny the arrival of Arabs in Spain at all since primary source documents do evidence such an event but this event pertains from the 12^th -13^th century onwards in what was the province of Granada.

What I deny is the fantasy of the 711 AD invasion and subsequent conquest of Spain because there is not one single genuine primary source document that records this event. That is, without rebadging the name of Spain into Al-Andalus - a small island in the Mediterranean. Even then, there�s not one genuine primary document to back up the 711 AD event the way its being propagated by anti-catholic English authors.
