I would love to see stuff about al-Andalus and how it related to Christian-ruled Spanish realms.
Will start researching this 👍
I agree!
@@GoldenMiddleAge is it out yet??
Underrated channel! Insha'Allah it will grow eventually.
important side note, buckwheat grows in southern france as a result of muslims from Al Andulus conquering parts of Southern France and planting buck wheat there which is still grown in some regions today. I also heard from Stef Keris that Saracen may have been the name of some middle east tribe and people in europe just used that name to describe all arabs as a result.
very greatful for this
Outstanding video as usual my friend, I really enjoy what you have to say.
Thanks mate appreciate it!
Ah the propaganda of racism still alive today 🤣 that is one crazy poem!
? everyone is racist towards white people nowadays tho
@@SithStudy Yes, it is, and its just mindboggling seeing white people go along with it! I have a friend who was feeling guilty when she learned she had relatives who owned slaves and its like... that has nothing to do with YOU. This being racist to white people is ok narrative needs to stop. along with any and all kinds of racism. Although as an american I'm not sure if this is also the situation in europe or not.
To be honest the Arabs are not better with theire racism. Just look how they treat south asians and blacks in the arab countrys
@@mkdkssjwkwbe I agree its pretty disgusting. Every summer I visit my family in Lebanon and always seem to be the one having to defend the maids and building keepers from a few members of my family and friends. Islam does not promote such behavior
Well done my friend. Very educational. Creates room for more understanding and inclusion...🙏🏻🙂♥️👍🏻.
Thank you
I am more curious to know what Semitic And Indo Iranian Middle Easterners in general thought of Europeans that were not Greek And Roman yeah.
They called them all "Franks" in general and thought they were big and backwards people who lived in a land that was dark and always at war iirc.
Mashhhalllah sir
Great Video, I wonder if there is a difference in European Christianity vs Arabic Christianity? In like traditions, culture, art, church architecture, etc.
Back onto the video, It's kind of ironic that Europe thought of Arabs as "uncivilized" when they literally took Christianity form that region, as Islam and the latter share quite some similarities, form my understanding. Another point would be that the Arabs were miles ahead of the europeans. It still sucks that Europe and the west still holds those racist and xenophobic beliefs about us.
Thanks! Christianity in the Arab world has many forms (Orthodox, Coptic etc)
@@GoldenMiddleAge No problem, absolutely! Thank you!
@@waitingforwonderland6036 christianity came from the levant not the Arabian peninsula. try again nomad
@@waitingforwonderland6036 Muslim philosopher Ibn Khaldun (d. 1406) described the Arabs of his time (let alone those from Muhammad’s more primitive era eight centuries earlier) as “the most savage human beings that exist. Compared with sedentary people they are on a level with wild, untamable animals and dumb beasts of prey. Such people are the Arabs.”appreciated the parallels. After portraying Arabs as “wild, untamable (animals) and dumb beasts of prey,’ he wrote, “In the West, the nomadic Berbers... are their counterparts, and in the East, the Kurds, the Turkomans, and the Turks.” In short, “if taking lives and ravaging the lands of the infidel were the means by which the ends of expanding Islam were served, then the new [Turkic] converts’ traditional pleasures were now happily endowed with a pious rationale,” he writes.

How did the Arabs view the Europeans?
Propably not much different.
@@ReasonAboveEverything The Arabs had a strong desire to take white women.
@@ReasonAboveEverything Muslims were amazed at how wealthy and sophisticated europeans were. The greeks and Visigoths for example
@@RichardEdwards40 only to the Byzantium though. Not so much on the Viking Rus, Franks and Germans.
@@reteguy7338 Other than ibn fadlan you can say that we viewed the vikings in some what positive light especially with ibn rustah and Ibn Miskawayh and you have to put in mind that the rus were pretty much different from their scandnavian cousins as a result of mixing with the saqaliba(slavs)
Buckwheats😂

Islam enjoins general cleanliness and human equality in the state of peace. The Arabs are masters of the world in science. Death to the enemies of the Arabs. The Arabs ruled Europe one day and the ruling was fair and just
Ibn Khaldun's book was subject to distortion by chritians, and this has been proven with evidence. Ibn Khaldun did not describe the Arabs in the way you wrote. You made up a lot of your own.
Also, there are many contradictions in Ibn Khaldun’s book. He disparages the Arabs and at the same time praises them, and at the same time he is proud that he is an Arab from Hadhramaut, His vilification of the Arabs in this way does not really make sense, as everyone knows who the barbarian was in that era, And his saying that the Berbers and Turks were the ones who carried Islam is in fact another matter that proves that Ibn Khaldun was not logical at all. The Berbers and Turks were scattered tribes under Roman occupation before the coming of the Arabs. It was the Arabs who gave them a status.but the contradictions are a natural result if the book was subjected to distortion, especially by the Christians and other nationalist who had hatred for the Arabs.

You talk about Arabs as if they're anything great. No, it's the Persians who created the Islamic civilisation, and people only call them Arabs because their books are in Arabic.
The Arabs fought against the Holy Prophet, betrayed Ali in his war against Muawiya (the man who destroyed the Rashidun caliphat), killed the Holy Prophet's grandson Husayn, etc.
The Arabs betrayed Palestine, while the Persians supported Palestine. The Arabs are afraid of losing access to American technology: the Persians are the only Muslims who developed their own technology by themselves, including automobiles (IKCO and SAIPA) and space rockets.
How we view you now not so good
Doesn't affect anything
