    islamic architecture is so mystical, like the religon itself. islam certainly left it's mark in spain for maany generations to witness the beauty of islam, this is why spanish people are more tolerant and sypathetic towards muslims, becuase they know from alhambra, how cultured and tolerant the muslim civilisation once were. today there are 5 thousand words which are used in spanish language which came from the arabic language. the food, music, culture, of spain has ancestorial roots from the arab world.

      @Gunther Vincent learning about history is more than visiting historical sites. If you know the history behind these buildings, libraries and mosques you will understand that Spain was the most multicultural city the world has ever seen at that time. The few remaining documents that wasn't burned by the reconquista is a proof to that

    These castles are the only things left and few mosques which are likely converted to churches. Al andalus was an interesting part of Muslim history but I'm from balkans and our Islamic history is mostly bound with Ottoman Turks. Whenever Muslim kingdom or nation become corrupt, Allah swt takes it away from them and punishes them in some way. This is why Muslims lost Spain and other lands in the East.

    In Granada studying abroad here, and I shall say, the Alhambra is one of the most exquisite architecture created by Arabs, Moors, and others. There is sadness in this city due to the Spanish civil war, but also, I sense a sadness of how Catholicism has taken over souls that have a bigger desire for liberation. Areas are still underdeveloped and live in great poverty. But, it is a beautiful place to visit, and Alhambra is a must visit for all mankind. You must see it with your own eyes to truly understand the roots of what Arabs brought to civilization.

      It's great that you find appreciation in the architecture of the Alhambra. I hope to see it one day myself. I hope you don't mind but I just want to point out one thing, the Alhambra was not specifically built by the Arabs. Rather it was built by the Moors which is a mixed group of people from Northern Africa (Mauretania/Berbers), including Spanish and Arab. Just want to point out that it was not specifically the Arabs but that many other ethnic groups aside from just Arabs who have contributed to the rich history of Muslim Spain and other parts of the Muslim world.

    The Islamophobia in the comments is very ugly and disappointing. You haters should feel ashamed of yourselves.
    That said, I have no religious affiliation, but I'm an Iberian, and after much study, I learned that the Iberian Peninsula was at its best when it existed as Al-Andalus. It was a country ahead of its time.
    It's very sad that the Roman Church invaded Iberia and imposed its dogma on the people, and would soon after invade other places over seas and assimilate those poor people through brutal force and genocide as well. Christian Iberia was like the Borg from _Star Trek._ ..Absolutely relentless.

    • @anish5152
      @anish5152 6 років тому +6

      Islamic Iberia must definitely have been far ahead of catholic Iberia, but isn't the current secular democratic Iberia much more rational and ahead of the Islamic Iberia of the past. How good is the replacement of one dogma with another, both of which in their literal implementation end up trampling the existence of individuals. Nostalgia is a part of our lives and it is the right thing to recognise and be true to our past, heritage and have the courage to reconcile our present selves with it. But why should it necessitate the selection of one over the other. How rational is it to believe that an individual has to surrender himself before a set of rules, symbols or social mores and not have the freedom to assimilate the notions from his present, historical, geographical, cultural surroundings that improve his existence and live his life in an more fulfilling manner.

    Some of you guys got to get over yourselves and get a vast interpretation of history. Its a shame Al-Andalus lost a portion of itself. Its also a shame Constaintinople lost a portion of itself too. Some of you make it sound as if Islam is only capable of providing enlightment. Others make it sound like its the last thing capable of providing a healthy society. I feel some of you sound obsessive and can't wait "for it to be restored" yet you don't acknowledge nor respect the loss the middle east has had in its diversity since the early 20th century. Guys please be balanced and be loving. This world shouldn't be about conquest. I hear it from both sides and can see your hearts yearn for victory. Calm yourselves for gods sake.

And if you research Islamic history in Spain some of the greatest scientist, scholars came from there. After the Reconquista all the books were taken and translated into Latin and this is what started the European Enlightment.

      Interesante eso que mencionas de "que se conquiste al conquistador", como si no existiera algo llamado Hispania (en aquél momento en su mayoría ya Visigoda) en la Península antes de la entrada por la fuerza de Táriq Ibn Ziyad. Lo de "que se conquiste al conquistador" fue precisamente lo que un puñado de Astures dirigidos por el gran Pelayo iniciaron, de ahí el término Reconquista.

    the moors did not come with women so a lot of these Spanish are moors and don't know.

      All scientific studies say Spanish people have no Arab blood. Sorry if you would like to be Spanish or looking for some kind of connection but it's not true.
