[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by supercar: [b]AlTakruri, that is a good point you just made. However slippery the usage of the 'Moor' term became, this is what is important to take from Muslim conquests of southern Europe (pointed out earlier in the thread): "Islam to spread into Western Africa, and enabled Black African warriors to play a dramatic role in southern European history." [This message has been edited by supercar (edited 20 January 2005).][/b][/QUOTE] Yes the Europeans were most impressed by the al Murabitun and al Muwahhidun who were mainly Zenaga Imazighen and Gnawa Atlantics found on either side of the river Senegal. These people became the Moors par exellant in the European psyche but the Luso Hispanics did not consider their own familiar nonMuslim Gnawa slaves and servants as Moors whereas in the British Isles nonMuslim Gnawa were called Moors, like Elen and Margaret More and Peter Moryen free favorites and courtiers of queen Margaret and king James of Scotland.
