[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]I believe the Moors were a mostly black african people with some arab admixture. [/QUOTE] The Arabs - Asiatic and Black, are very important to Moorish culture because they sparked (directly and indirectly) the conversion of indigenous West and NorthWest Africans to Islam. Still Moor is distinct from Arab, it is most closely 'associate' with Berber [Black and otherwise] muslims, although not all Berbers were Moors either. There are many very specific European accounts of Moorish armies which are stated to have hailed from the Sudan, and other parts of inner-Africa. Most important thing is that Moor is neither an ethnicity nor nationality. It's a group of Africans and Arab muslims both Black and non-Black who conquered most of Spain and dominated much of Europe for centuries.
