[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] The modern day African nation of Mauritania is located in the northwestern area of the continent... [IMG]http://www.uneca.org/aisi/NICI/country_profiles/image/Mauritania.jpg[/IMG] The majority of Mauritanians are described as Moors or black Muslims whose ancestors were Berber tribes who were converted to Islam in the 9th century by invading Arabs of the Beni Hassan. Although the Arabs or those of Arab descent like in many parts of North Africa are installed in elite positions it was the Moors themselves who played a more pivotal role in the Islamic conquest of both Northwest Africa in Iberia. Kel-Lmta or the Lamtuna clan was among the first of the Sanhaja or Saharan Berbers to convert to Islam. Not too long after the Hassane or warrior caste of the Lamtuna began to wage jihad in effort to spread Islam as well as establish military and economic power. In time they established the Almoravid dynasty which not only made its way to the Mediterranean coast (Morocco) but even crossed over the Straits of Gibraltar and conquered Iberia.
