You've explained it very well. As a Muslim, this era is very controversial in our history and sometimes it gets overwhelmed but watching your short video on this made it simpler to understand. You told everything on point and with simplicity 👍♥️
It is very interesting why we don't discuss the various Caliphates as a form of Imperialism and/or Colonialism. In many ways, these colonial escapades and subsequent expansion have served as a foundation for the struggles we see today in the MENA region.
Not many come to mind. Especially when native people are converted, removed from their land and/or culturally required to adopt the ways of the empire (like, say North Africa).
" Genealogy of Banu Umayyah Abd Shams and Amr (Hashim) were the twin sons of Abd Manaf, the ruler of Makkah.

False: Muhammad (Peace be upon them) was never the "Founder of Islam". That's literally the Number-1 Misconception about al-Islam, predicated upon Islamophobia. al-Islam predates the Revelation of The Qur'an...Adam: the Progenitor/Patriarch-Of-Humanity (Peace be upon them) was the 1st Muslim-Human.
the Ummayids were Arian Christians. Islam was created later, by the Abbasids. Jacob is merely repeating the Standard Islamic Narrative, which is a fabrication.
Mosques did not start pointing toward Mecca until the mid-8th century. Also, there is no historical evidence, none at all, for existence of the Rashadun Caliphs.
You might be interested in the scholarship of Robert Spencer and others who show that Muhammad never lived, Mecca was not a town at the right time in history and that the Rashiduns and Umayyads were Nestorian Christians.

If the caliphates are a form of colonialism, then every empire under the sun was a form of colonialism
@@MAYONNAISEMOOSE And just like that, you came to the correct realization.
@@rugbyrob then what empire/polity was NOT a form of colonialism
Not many come to mind. Especially when native people are converted, removed from their land and/or culturally required to adopt the ways of the empire (like, say North Africa).
What would you call the Crusaders campaign to the middle east?

Genealogy of Banu Umayyah
Abd Shams and Amr (Hashim) were the twin sons of Abd Manaf, the ruler of Makkah. Manaf belonged to the Quraish tribe and was a descendant of Hazrat Ibrahim bin Hazrat Ismail. Abd Shams was a self-centered and enterprising man while Amr was a public figure and was called Hashim because of his generosity.

Abd Shams had no children and he bought and adopted a slave child Umayyah. Umayyah's son Sukhar kept a stray woman Fakhta in his house and from her Harb (Abu Sufyan) and Umm Jameel were born.

Thank u
Thanks a lot for making such documentary, as i am Muslim, i appreciate your work❤️
Lots mistakes in the documentary. His studies are based on fiction from Shia schools of thought .
@@samawadehassan5509 Yes, some of the statements were pro Shia, when touched on Ali and Huseyn.
Great account ! I'm muslim and I hail to your very clear unbiased text !
Good stuff yet again!
"more like a pope and king rolled into one"
So like.....many of the medieval/renaissance popes lol
Speed of language is too fast to grab .all in all a good presentation albeit some mistakes
What languages Ali spoke ?? Do y thinks Fatima stories are real or fiction?? Why the theatre of fights was in non Arab speaking knights?? I thinks h need total critical thinking
I don't understand the resources you depend on, it is obvious that your resources are she'a resources

This is a fantasy of yours!
They were anti Trinitarian christian. Coins minted that time had Cross symbol.
Yep, Islam was invented for political reasons to justify the Abbasid empire
If mosques are to face mecca why are the oldest mosques ever found face towards Petra, not mecca?
Which Masjid that is?
Mosques did not start pointing toward Mecca until the mid-8th century. Also, there is no historical evidence, none at all, for existence of the Rashadun Caliphs.

The sky is purple and apples are oranges too, might you also add
@@MAYONNAISEMOOSEbut do you have any evidence to prove that assertion? Robert Spencer has lots of evidence to prove Muhammad never lived.
@@carolgebert7833 This guy, Rob Spencer, must be a heretic.
Total BS
