[QUOTE]Originally posted by Evil Euro: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by [b]rasol[/b]: Proving: That all that it takes to destroy your ridiculous rantings is a direct quote from a dictionary.[/QUOTE] I said "Moor" was used in reference to many different people. Your source says "Moor" was used in reference to many different people. All you did was prove me right. As to the actual Islamic Moors of Spain, I'll trust the professional opinion of a credentialed physical anthropologist: "[b]In one sense the word 'Moor' means the Mohammedan Berbers and Arabs of north-western Africa[/b], with some Syrians, who conquered most of Spain in the eighth century and dominated the country for hundreds of years, leaving behind some magnificent examples of their architecture as a lasting memorial of their presence. These so-called 'Moors' were far in advance of any of the peoples of northern Europe at that time, not only in architecture but also in literature, science, technology, industry, and agriculture; and their civilization had a permanent influence on Spain. [b]They were Europids, unhybridized with members of any other race.[/b] The Berbers were (and are) Mediterranids, probably with some admixture from the Cromagnid subrace of ancient times. The Arabs were Orientalids, the Syrians probably of mixed Orientalid and Armenoid stock. [b]The skin of Orientalids and of some Berbers darkens readily under the influence of sunlight, and many of them become quite dark in the exposed parts of the body. The association of dark skin with the name of 'Moors' resulted eventually in the same term being applied to Negrids.[/b]" [John R. Baker. [i]Race[/i]. New York: Oxford University Press, 1974] [/QB][/QUOTE]
