Should Spain Apologise for the Reconquista?

- Опубліковано 2 кві 2019
- Recently a Muslim leader from the Ishbilia Mosque in Seville, Spain, requested a formal apology from the King of Spain for the persecution of Muslims under the Spanish crown following the Reconquista (Reconquest) in the 16th and 17th Centuries. The statements made on Facebook by the leader highlight persecutions, murders and expulsions, without acknowledging that for a period of almost 800 years, when various Islamic dynasties ruled areas of the Iberian Peninsula, almost the exact same actions were commited by Muslim rulers against the dhimmi (non-Muslim i.e Christians and Jews) population.
All informed discussion is welcome in the comments but please remain respectful of your fellow youtube-goers and remain civil. Thank you!
Una mezquita de Sevilla pide que el Rey se disculpe por la discriminacion contra los musulmanes y moriscos despues el fin de la Reconquista en los siglos XVI y XVII. Los comentarios de Facebook protestar " las vilezas, expoliaciones, destierros y asesinatos" cometido por los españoles, sin reconocer los crimes cometido por los musulmanes contra los dhimmis (ni-musulmanes i.e los cristianos y los judios) por casi 800 años.
Cuando hablando en los comentarios por favor mantener la calma y ser civilizado con tus compañeros. Muchas gracias!

With this logic, Mongolia is going to have to expand their diplomacy sectors.
Because they conqured alot of land or because they essentially brought the plague to europe?
@@hexazalea1793 i'll take both for 500
True, if you want to count numbers of death and murder - by far, Mongolia is responsible for the greatest disruption to the world over the centuries.
it is amazing what bold faced liars academia has become to defend their hyper progressive viewpoints. From the way I was taught both in highschool and Uni; Spain started expelling or executing Muslims who refused to convert the second Boabdil handed over the keys. And before the big evil Spaniards took back their peninsula, all of spain under Muslim rule was an idyllic playground where muslims, christians and jews danced hand in hand in fields of lollies, with birds singing from the trees!
Mongolians aren't white so they don't have to apologize for jack shit
Should Islam apologise for conquering Iberia in the first place?

conquering was part of the times. The apology should be to the berbers and arab muslims and jews who were established in the iberian peninsula. For these people iberian peninsula was their home.
Yes. That Moslem leader should apologise for a time of invasion, subjugation and religious persecution, which only in the realms of pseudo-historical legend (still peddled by some well funded, oil fed or Wall St endowed scholars) was a 'Golden Age.'

Uh, excuse me, but before the Greeks took it, and before them the Persian Empire, and before that the Babylonian Empire, and before that the Assyrian Empire, the Land of Israel (aka The Holy Land) belonged to the Israelites.
And unless there are any Jebusites or Amorites in this comment section, nobody’s got a better claim on it than the descendants of the Israelites, that is the Jews.
So as a Jew, I hereby demand an apology from the Roman Empire for expelling my ancestors from our land 2000 years ago!
As an Englishman I DEMAND that half the nations of the world apologize for taking back the land we rightfully conquered from them.
Good man
Well, that's gonna take a while.
Completely different as Iberia was European land taken by Mohammadans from Africa and Arabia. Reconquista = Reconquest = Land taken back. All those crusaders should have been given sainthood. Apology is playing victimhood which works with the white liberals snowflakes

AugustanFinn The english did not integrate at all. They allowed a famine because 'Their' people wouldn't be affected. For god sakes it was ran by a company. I agree with indians asking for an apology, I know they won't get one, to put it in perspective to date very few people know that 2 millions fought against the Nazi's. If we cant get recognition for that then an apology is unlikely.
@@hussainzakir1
Famines are not controllable.
Famines occurred under Islamic rulers as well.
Like the famine in Lebanon under the Ottomans.
I meant the English and Anglo Indians receiving an apology. They were forced out of the Subcontinent.
Spain was invaded and colonized. It was reconquered but the muslim inhabitants rioted and waged a new war including inviting the Ottomans to intervene.
The Monarchs were totally justified in transferring the muslims back to North Africa.
Peace has prevailed since.

As soon as the Moors apologize for their attack on the Visigoths for taking their lands in Iberia or old Latin Hispania. Enough with this ridiculous historical apologetics.

I think that the "who-stole-from-who" reasoning is fruitless. The Catholics took Spain from the Arabs, who took it from the Visigoths, who took it from the Romans, and the Romans from the Carthagenians, and so on. You can go on for years.

The Arabs should apologize to the Copts for stealing Egypt
Most of Egyptians are Copts and DNA results shows that they are different from the Arabs also Egypt was ruled by Turks not Arabs so no the Arabs shouldn't apologies for something they didn't .

fan8281 it was under byzantine rule, it was already stolen.
i am Egyption and i am telling you to care about your won things , we are muslims and we are proud
Ahmed Mahboub You are not egyptian lol . You are an arab . A descendant of amr ibn el aas .
I'm Spanish and I must say Several things.
1) The muslim conquest was absolutely horrific. The more you learn about it the worse it gets. The Spanish have suffered a lot because of them. I think a very illustrative example was the conquest of Santiago De Compostela by Almanzor. By that Time it was already a very holy site, for it's believed the remains of the apostle James are buried there. So a great cathedral standed with 2 world-famous bells. Some of the largest and more intricate of the world. So this Almanzor guy, came up to conquer Santiago de Compostela and after the usual slaughter, burning and general destruction, went to the cathedral, (one of the most holy sites to Christianity) and destroyed the entire city except for the burial of James (Since muslims believe Jesus was a true prophet, not due to respect to Christians). During the conquest captured some Christians to sell as slaves, and made them carry the two bells to Granada as a trophy, without carriage or any help. (760 km apart on a straight line, surely way more following the paths of the day.) Many died in the journey from exhaustion of carrying the giant bells.
2) I live in Catalonia, was for a long time a frontier between the caliphate and the Christians, and you can't imagine how many remains of castles and watch towers there are. No kidding, almost every mountain had either a castle or a watch tower. Some in the most in accessible places you can think of. That goes to show how brutal the war was, that they felt the need to build so many castles in so many places. There were 799 known castles, all built during the Reconquista. That is almost 2,5 castles for every100km2. Compared to the average 0.9 in England, you can see what I mean.
3) It's not just the conquest, the whole Mediterranean has suffered a lot of piracy from the muslims. Stealing and taking slaves all over the Mediterranean. One very notable man that was captured to slavery was Miguel Cervantes, the writer of Don Quixote. That was the 1600s, when the muslims were already expelled. Now imagine how it was when they were in charge.
4) Also there are a lot of clues from historic books and little details that show that the Spanish peoples were absolutely terrified from Muslims, making you think that maybe we were the victims here. One notable example is the expression "No hay moros en la costa", that has the same meaning as "the coast is clear". Notice we say there are no moors at the coast instead of the coast is clear. Because really... The moors were so terrible that it did not matter if there were enemies as long as they were not muslims.
5) The word Moros, does not mean muslim, but rather is the name to the North African ethnic group. Because in Spain all muslims were moros and all moros were muslims some times the term is used to mean muslim, but it's not its true meaning.
@@seleukus856 If you did not convert you were not killed. Where did you get that from? At most you were expelled or sent to a convent to be converted. If anyone was killed it was by a, non state sponsored, angry mob. But that also happened with Muslims or any other. Not saying it was great or anything. But you must understand Muslims were also not kind, and killed any blasphemers, got the other religions as third tier citizens, almost like slaves, and also wanted to eradicate any other belief. But they were still a minority ruling class, and could not replace or kill the population, or they would get an empty country with no one to rule over.
And I would not be so sure cristians were the mos brutal. Muslim kings had special personal guards that tied themselves with chains around the king's tent when in the battlefield to either protect the king or die trying. And also, When a king died, the heir was crowned and all his brothers killed to avoid any in fight. Talk about brutal...
And while Arab influence gift us some musical styles, cuisine and some words, we really have very little in common in any other aspect. Not in architecture, not in law, not in religion, not in clothing, etc..
@@DrBernon oh okay? Christians and jews made a huge influence on the otherwise Muslim Andalusia at the time. If you look at history, we didn’t crusade, against Christians, however we invaded, but that did everyone, we didn’t have inquisition on other non Sunni Muslims, we didn’t persecute Jews and Christians in massive style, like Spain as an example.
@@seleukus856 The first caliphates did a crusade against the entire world, that is why they conquered so much. And the Cristian crusades were in response to Muslim invasion. And Muslims never had any inquisition because an inquisition style system is standard. Under an Islamic state, non Muslims have fewer rights than even women. And are also required to pay an extortionate tax just for being non Muslim. The idea of an Islamic state is that Muslims pray all day, and non Muslims work for them to sustain them. That is why Muslim countries allowed non Muslims. They were their workers.
But while Muslim states allowed non Muslims as their serfs, they were not tolerant. For example... It is absolutely prohibited to do any maintenance at all to churches or any sacred object. With the idea that they will rot eventually.
@@seleukus856 Starting with Mohamed himself, Islam is in an endless crusade. It's just not called like that. Why do I say this? Easy. The Quran itself says it. In it you can find things like sura 9 verse 29 "Fight the ones who do not believe in Allah nor the Last Day, nor forbid whatever Allah and His messenger have forbidden, nor profess the True Religion among those who were given the Book (the Bible), until they pay the poll tax of their own accord and act submissive. "
and sura 3, verse 28 "Let not the believers take the disbelievers as Auliyâ (supporters, helpers) instead of the believers, and whoever does that will never be helped by Allâh in any way, except if you indeed fear a danger from them. And Allâh warns you against Himself (His punishment), and to Allâh is the final return. "
And also 9:73 "O Prophet, strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be harsh with them. Their abode is Hell. What a terrible destination! "
What do these verses demand Muslims to do? Share with the disbelievers? Be friends?
It sounds a lot to me like they demand a crusade.
And speaking of the crusade... Sure it started much later than the invasion. That is because Europe was divided in many kingdoms. When Muslims attacked each kingdom fended for themselves, but lost.
So seeing how big of a thread Muslims were, they started to organize. The crusade was given a special name because it was something very special. Many kingdoms that were enemies joined together to defend Christians from the result of the verses above. As you can imagine, it was a diplomatic nightmare to get everyone on board, so they took a long time to do it. And the crusade was not at all against our own. Where did you even get that?
@@seleukus856 No, no, no. What you are describing is what the Jews say. Eye for eye. These verses clearly say, "fight those who do not believe in Allah". Not fight the meccans, nor fight those who fight you. And Mohamed could have said eye for eye, since he claims to worship the same god as the Jews. But he does not say it. Besides... There are more verses like these. Here is another example:
This one is lovely... 8:55 "The worst creatures in the sight of God are those who reject Him and will not believe; " It is literally calling non believers worse than dongs, snakes, rats, cockroaches, etc... If they are so bad, why should anyone be friends with them? It is dehumanizing non believers to later justify their killing.
And here is another one calling for the mistreatment of non believers: 9:123 "O you who have attained faith, combat those of the deniers who are adjacent to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with the people who are mindful(of Him) . "
Combat who? Those that oppress you? NOooo... combat the DENIERS OF THE FAITH!
And notice! It is a requirement of Allah. That is why It ends saying that you should be mindful of him, because if you disobey you go to hell. And also note... That saying you should be harsh with the disbelievers is a polite way of saying that you should have no pity nor mercy on them.
And your argument of "It was intended for that time in Mecca" is absurd. This is the Quran! The eternal word of god! To guide all humanity! Why would the eternal word of god give a useless command for 99.999...% of humanity?
(EDIT) And by the way... I just recited verses of your most sacred book. If you see reading your book is mocking your religion, either you or that religion has a serious problem...

@@anasbelmont8945 Yeah it’s not like the Seljuks were a thing or Manzikert ever happened.

1 they had Constantinople
2 they know it was a buffer zone and if they took it it will lead to Europe sending armies into the middle east

Except unlike the Spaniards, the Turks didn't kill civilians of different philosophy or decent and didn't push for a forced conversion to faith....

It is called REconquista not Conquista. It is like saying: Should Korea apologise to the Japanese after taking their land back?
Should Spain apologize for The Reconquista?
NO!!
There problem solved
The request is written directly to the dynesty not the Spanish people. Spanish people don't need to apologise as long as they don't say they're proud of their past, if you say you didn't do it, you don't have a reason to be proud or shameful. But "The spanish monarcs today have absolutely nothing to do with what went on then." is misleading (true tho)... Yet any monarc's whole reason for continued existance is the claim that they have something to do with those times. Same goes for the Americans, Germans, Arabians, Turks, Japanese, Russian etc (for nationalism reasons). A very simple logic, if you don't claim pride of your ancestor you don't need to apologise for their action, if you do then it goes both ways.
@@omerk1860 A request to the dynasty is a request to the Spanish people. Do you even understand what a monarch, a head of state is?

@@kingjonstarkgeryan8573 And rest of Europa
@@quisqueyanguy120 First of all the request came from a Spanish person. I'm not defending him cause I don't know him but he is part of those Spanish people. Maybe he just want to be sure the current monarchs don't agree with those old monarchs who persecuted people for their beliefs. (is he biased? maybe... But the request and/or fear might be sincere) I'm not saying the old monarchs were evil people, maybe the times called for such actions but since the king traces his legitimacy and legacy back at those people and the only reason he's there is those people (and the traditions of those times). When people ask Erdoğan to apologise I, as a Turkish person, don't feel offended. Just becouse they're the head of state you don't need to get offended for them. Spanish people didn't even choose them so it's even more removed from them. Just becouse your father fucked the right woman you don't become the representative of the whole Spanish people. That's deeply problematic. If they demand respect they should have responsibility.

I want an apology for the Ottoman Conquest and devastation of my country, Albania, followed by compensation. Thanks.
Христо Луков you are factually wrong.
1. Genetic tests of Albanians show we are not African or Middle Eastern slaves. We are mostly EV13 (same as the Greeks), and actually more of us as are from the I2 subclade which is an ancient Balkan subclade going back around 4,000 years. Read up o genetic studies bro, blood doesn’t lie. History and writers say things based on their national prejudices but blood does not lie 😊. I got a DNA test and I’m from the I2 subclade, 100% European.
2. Skenderbeg spoke Albanian. We know this because he commanded his troops in their native tung.
3. He was a Catholic, not Greek.
4. About 40% of Albanians are not Muslim - why do you hate us man? More Greeks converted to Islam than Albanians did, do you know this? All of Turkey was once Greeks, and they converted to Islam. And a lot of Greeks in Greece even coerced to Islam ... you just threw them out in 1920. We Albanians don’t care about religion, we care about being Albanian and that’s it.
5. The Albanian language has a lot of Latin influence from the republic era which means we have been around at least since the time of Julius Caesar (otherwise how did we pick up Classical Latin from the Republican era?). Albanian is an indo-European language, NOT an African or Semitic language, so our language didn’t come from Africa either.
6. We are whiter than most Greeks... accept maybe the Arvanites 😉 and you know where the Arvanites came from? ALBANIA! They speak Albanian haha.
7. The reason we had a country last in the Balkans is because we are loyal to a fault. We don’t betray our leaders, even if they are despicable like the Turks. That’s why we fought the Turks for 20 years as they annihilated half of our people.
8. We don’t have low IQ. Albanians are doing very well all over the world. That’s why you hate us. The best school students in Greek are Albanian aren’t they 😛 you know this. I know this because the Greeks get pissed off when Albanians carry the Greek Flag for being the best in their class. We are doing very well, making a lot of money everywhere we live. I myself am a lawyer in London, handling cases with £1b +.
Look, I like the Greeks, we have been neighbours for millennia. We fought the Slavs together when they came and we fought the Turks too together for a long time. Why shouldn’t be enemies. We are the oldest people in the Balkans together - blood doesn’t lie. Especially as many Albanians are still Christians and we don’t care about religion.
@@Witnessmoo Albanian language is probably not Indo-European (basque is), but probably more slavic/latin as you said.
Next to that, the guy is probably some Serbian troll trying to claim everything online, just ignore him.
@@Witnessmoo If he commanded his troops in their native tongue, Skenderberg probably also spoke Greek, Serbian or Vlach since he commanded many non-Albanians.
Being Catholic does not mean that he can't be Greek. Greek Catholics do exist.
Anatolia was populated by mostly Greeks, but they were not millions.Anatolia was sparsely populated. Most Greeks of Anatolia kept being Christians and did not convert to Islam with 1.1 million arriving in Greece in 1923-1924.Most Greeks Anatolian or not kept their religion and were always majority Christian.
By saying that Greece threw the Muslims out, it seems like either you don't know why they left or that you are ignoring the treaties of the time. The Muslims of Greece mostly left in 1923 after the treaty of Lausanne (355.000 Muslims). The same went for the Greeks of Anatolia. 1.1 million Greeks and almost 100.000 other Christians left for Greece.
The fact that the Albanians have a lighter color of skin is not true. The climate of Albania is not that much different from the one in Greece. You, also, say that Greeks and Albanians lived together for millenia. That means that they intermixed transferring their genetics to each other.
The Arvanites came from Albania, more accurately from Arvanon(Today North Epirus). They were assimilated and are no longer Albanians. They retained parts of their language with Greek influences.
There were Albanians that rose up against the Turks like Ali Pasha. The reason why the Albanians did not rise up in their entirety is because most of their nobility and leaders were Muslims with friendly relationships with the Ottomans. It's not that the people were loyal since there existed many Albanian uprisings. It is that there was no significant leadership to lead to an uprising.
There are Albanian students in Greece that are in top ranks in grades, but it's not the majority. It's not that the Albanians have a higher IQ or that all Albanians are smarter, but that those certain students tried and got the privilege to march with the Greek flag. The people that protest that are mostly ultra-Nationalists. Ultra-Nationalists like the Albanian ones that protest against the North Epirot Greeks holding the Albanian flag.
