[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] No, all Moors were not black because later in time the term loosened up and referred to various Muslims. Thus we have: * black-a-moor * tawny moor * white moor. But take note from Black-a-Moor (black as a Moor) that Moor must've originally designated a black person. While there are plenty a black-a-moor in Orientalist art I haven't seen too many pieces of actual Islamic art with any blacks in them. The stuff I've run across is mostly like the below but I'm sure somebody can find better pieces than this.

If that was true, why'd they depict themselves like this? [IMG]http://www.geocities.com/anahita_whitehorse/bayad-wa-riyad-3.jpg[/IMG] It's from "Qissat Bayad wa Riyad". [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
