[QUOTE]Originally posted by kawashkar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Supercar: ...[i]And [b]Yusuf ibn Tashfin[/b], leader of the Almoravid forces, was [b]"a brown man with wooly hair"[/b], according to the Arab chronicler Al-Fasi.[/i] (per Miriam DeCosta [who utilizes the "Cantigas" scripts of [i]Medieval[/i] Spain ) [/QUOTE]And what? Yusuf was not representative of the "Moors" of Spain. Tarik conquered Spain under the orders of the Arabs, not Yusuf! Yusuf is TOO LATE in the history of Spain. He just managed to retard the reconquist of Spain a little. [QUOTE] ^^Not surprising, given that Almoravids were of Sub-Saharan extraction; Oh yeah, I remember; according to you, the Almoravids never ruled spain. :D [/QUOTE]So, all the famous "Black (Moor) empire of Spain", according to you, is the Yusuf staff? Well, that reduces the "African" influence in Spain to a minimum. I am talking about the Moors of Spain, not of a particular event directed by Yusuf. LOL. Yes. Keep going on with the "Greek definition". But historias are better informed: [QUOTE]"History named these Muslim conquerors of Spain "Moors", probably because they arrived by way of Morocco. The Moors themselves never used them. They were Arabs, from Damascus and Medina, leading armies of North Africans Berber converts". [/QUOTE]When the Moors Ruled Spain Thomas J. Abercrombie [ National Geographics July 1988 Therefore: Moor=Moroccan, North African Berber. Look at the path of the conquest of North Africa and you will find they followed a coastal path. Black Africa it was not conquered as yet by the Muslims. By they time they started the conquest of the south, they were already being pushed out of Spain! KAWASHKAR [/QB][/QUOTE]
