Kinda strange how the umayyads, the actual arabs, managed to revert bouts of christian reconquest and even subdue the iberian kingdoms as tributaries, and even when the caliphate was already collapsed and taifas taken its place they managed to have a balance of power with the christians, but as soon as the Moroccan almoravids come in calling everyone a fake muslim the castillians push all the way to toledo and zaragoza falls.Like imagine poland collapsed and to defend christendom russians rushed in to protect the land and then proceeded to get pushed all the way to Novgorod by a bunch of random petty khanates
>>18326478The Ummayads and the Taifas were primarely based in Iberia and so they had a stronger grip on their home turf, as well as having better relationships with the christians, whereas the Almohads and Almohavids were external empires who took over the Taifas and were disliked by a major portion of the population
>>18326478Faggots will seethe about the expulsion of Muzzies from Iberia in the 1500s while completely ignoring that these sandnigs totally wiped out the native Christian communities of North Africa and tried to do the same in Andalusia.
>>18326494>these sandnigs totally wiped out the native Christian communities of North Africa so much for the whole 'the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church' bit I guess
>>18326497The Church existed right through it and still exists to this day. Europe still remained unconquered. Christ never promised that every Christian community would remain victorious in all battles, just that until his return, the church would persist.
>>18326537The zoroastrians are still limping on in iran and india but no one would consider that some kind of vindication of the truth of ahura mazda
>>18326544Apples and oranges
>>18326478Ok you may be onto somethingBut what are the historical implications for Western Sahara's inalienable right to exist as a sovereign country?
>>18326494>native Christian communities of North AfricaThere were almost none, absolute majority of autochtonous were pagans who mostly reverted, the judeochristians in the maghreb were literally germanic and greek invaders
>>18326494>christian of north africaChristians where a tiny minority you retardMajority of people where berber pagans or syncretics
>>18326478The army that conquered iberia was mostly made of Berbers anyway and Berbers made up the majority of the army in Al Andalus
