How can a country be ruled for almost 1000 years by Arabs, speak Arabic, be Muslim, have some of the oldest mosques and be on of the earliest Muslim nations, yet claim to be European?

It was physically located within the continent of Europe, last I checked

>>17805656
Have you seen Spanish people?

>>17805657
Yeah just had to take a plane to europe pay in euros and get an eurovisa

The lingua franca of Al-Andalus was Romance as well. Arabic was only used by priests and theologists.

>>17805656
OP is confusing Spaniards with people from medieval Al-Andalus. I think on pourpose, if not the case, just grave case of ignorance. But even medieval population from Al-Andalus was as well racist towards Arabs and Berbers they considered racially inferior.

Averroes on his commentaries about Plato's Republic cataloguez Arabs and Berbers as a backward tribal nomadic population that only became civilized after contact with Persians and Romans in the East, and Spaniards in the West.

The concept of coexistence is unknown to christian barbarians so all the Muslims were killed or expelled after the Reconquista

I was drinking and listening to riders in the storm at the bar, the name of the drink was "el malo" it was a drink from Madrid..

some time later I noticed that some guys were talking about history and things like that, I soon became interested and started paying attention to the conversation.

Well, they were talking about the Moorish invasion of Spain, so I went there and said that the Iberians are Moorish mongrels and a debate began. I used the samples that /his/ gave me but in the end... they used studies that prove that there is no more than 10% MENA ancestry and possibly Spain has always had such a contribution since the Mesolithic.

I was refuted and decided to attack them out of shame and hatred... well, I went to punch them in the back but my R1a-M417 arm had no effect on their black, curly hair. He turned around with a face I had never seen before and said: "ha ha"
So I tried to leave the place but he pulled me with his strong, hairy olive arm...

choking me and hitting my face, which quickly turned red and I couldn't move anymore. never the same that day.. /his/ taught me that Aryans are cosmic beasts. Why did I lose?? Then I got to know the "we are the world" society and realized that kneeling to the Mediterranean is what humanity has always done, to the creators of art, culture and civilization... compared to us, 50% steppe_MLBA Aryans. In a long time, I fear olive skin! I fear curly hair!

How did the basque language survive this period of Spain?
Feel like culturally stomping out some weird foreigner shit would've been high on Muslim spains list for an easy oppression W.

>>17805645 (OP)
They didn't control all this land for 1000 years. They were slowly losing territory and by the end of it they held only tiny speck of land around Gibraltar.

>>17805645 (OP)
Arab Muslims got genocided and Christians retook the land. Simple. Same as Istanbul where the Christians got genocided. It's why England is Germanic and doesn't speak Celtic

>>17805716
Muslims exterminated all Catholics from Morocco, Tunis, Algeria, Lybia, Syria, Turkey, Mesopotamia, etc etc etc.

Plus Spaniards just kicked you out back to the shithole desert you came from.

>>17805742
I think they were the elites of Spanish society.

>>17805811
Other way around. Basques was spoken by peasants, their elites were completely castillanized

>>17805831
Yeah, that's why they were granted the nobility by blood and did not pay taxes unlike Castilians, Galicians, Asturians and everybody else. Kek.

>>17805846
Cantabrians also had these special statuts but people never mention it. It was hardly specific to the basques.

>>17805716
>The concept of coexistence is unknown to muslim barbarians so all the Christians were killed or enslaved after the Jihad

Fixed all the typos, wouldn't want people to get confused!

>>17805811
>Muslims exterminated all Catholics from Morocco, Tunis, Algeria, Lybia, Syria, Turkey, Mesopotamia, etc etc etc.
How were they exterminated when there are still millions of christians all over the levant and in Egypt? The Maghreb is a more complex case, but even the dynasties that were known as particularly oppressive like the Almohads simply did what christians had been doing since the start. Also Turkey was an ethnic conflict betweens turks and greeks that had nothing to do with religion
>>17805871
If that was true then there would be no reconquista at all kek

>>17805922
Literally Catholics do not exist anymore in North Africa. The few remaining copts in Egypt are an eight-class citizens and the jihadists do think treating them as shit and taxing them to death instead of killing them is some of acomplishment.

>Almohads simply did what christians
Christians lived there around 700 years before goatfucking pedophile warmonggering sect arrived from Arabia.

You don't belong in Africa, but in Arabia, and Spaniards did wrong at not kicking you out of Christian lands.

>>17805927
The middle east was under the influence of the byzantines so there was barely any catholics there retard
>Christians lived there around 700 years before goatfucking pedophile warmonggering sect arrived from Arabia.
And who was there before those 700 years?

>>17805937
>And who was there before those 700 years?
Lebanese

>>17805937
>The middle east was under the influence of the byzantines so there was barely any catholics there retard
Byzantines were Caths. As well many romao-lebanese caths as St. Augustine lived there.

>>17805958
>Byzantines were Caths.
They were not, anyways your argument makes no sense why they would exterminate only one flavor of christianity when its orthodoxy that is most ideologically different from islam, nor are there any records of this extermination taking place

This is a vandal-suebi map of Iberia. These groups were like 1-2% of the total population but looking at the map it looks like they ruled all of Iberia.

AlAndalus maps ARE FAKE. They were like 1-2% of the population, they did not control ANYTHING except 6-7 cities in the south and not even them since Abderraman III had to do frequent raids to the outskirts of Cordoba because they could not even control Cordoba.

Rural Andalucia had ZERO muslims. It is all fake. They had no central state, no central laws, NOTHING.

Reconquista was about retaking the major power centres (the largest cities and castles since 99% of rural Spain never saw a muslim in the 700 years presence.

And there are more muslims now in any french major city than in all of Iberia during the 700 years combined.

Getting bred by invaders is only shameful if you don't end up speaking their language. At least when you speak their language you can LARP as the conquerors and humblebrag to everyone that yes I'm a Moor or whatever.

>>17805993
It's not even moorish culture, it's arabic, arabs conquered the whole ancient world in 100 years. Persia, Spain, Egypt, Mesopotamia, etc.

>>17806002
Anyway. Only Africans Americans may be an exception, but it's not like they put in any effort to learn another language. You can look at almost any historical case, the conquered people who didn't adopt the language end up hating the conquerors, where as the conquered that began speaking the conquerors' language have different relations with them.

>>17805657
Yes.
