[QUOTE]Originally posted by Horemheb: [QB] yazid, Moors were not involved in any but the early stages of the Muslim invasion of spain. Most arabs were driven out of the country or killed. The problem is that you are vastly 'overstating' the degree in intermarriage between Europeans and Muslims. Secondly, there is an excellent new book on the illumination of the dark ages through Spain. 'Aristotle's children' by Richard Rubenstein outlines how intellectuals of muslim, jewish and catholic faiths worked together to revive much of the old scholarship and change european thinking and lead to the renaissance. This was an effort of intellectuals and not the result of any broader interaction of peoples. It was not even accepted by catholic leadership at large until the 14th centuries. The thing to keep formost in your thinking is that relationships between Muslims and europeans in Spain was confrontational. You cannot take the exceptions to the rule and offer that as standard history. There are many great books on the reconquest aside from the one I mentioned, all of them support the view I have outlined. [/QB][/QUOTE]
