One often speaks of Moors as north African Muslims who invaded Spain but if you look at some of this quote by John Ogilby he is using it to mean "any African" as he is talking about Angolan slaves in Brazil, not even Muslims and having nothing to do with the conquest of Spain The term has no stable meaning historically as per usage [/qb][/QUOTE]the point of the quote is to debunk your and other historians theory of moor meaning Muslim [/qb][/QUOTE]It doesn't debunk anything.
