BBC Documentary - An Arab Islamic History of Europe

[ArabianEmpires&Caliphates]

Arabs and the Turks out all Muslims actually came the closest to conquering Europe.

Arabs conquered Spain while reaching modern day Paris while the Turks tookover the Balkans and parts of Eastern Europe while reaching the gates of Vienna.

Pretty interesting.

Arabs managed to conquered much more than just Spain (which is the size of Balkan alone) but Portugal, Andorra, Gibraltar, parts of Southern France, Sicily (Italy), parts of Southern Italy, Malta, Crete (Greece), Cyprus and a few other regions.

If the Battle of Tours had ended differently (huge geographical distance between the Arab heart lands and internal rivalries for power), world history could have been completely different. For all we know all of Europe and the (West) would have been Muslim and Christianity would only have been a foot note in history.

Anyway you can say that about many historical events but nevertheless interesting.

Maltese are basically Arabs too bad they deny it. Even in Australia a lot of the Maltese dont like being associated with Arabs eventhough their language all comes from Arabic.

The Maltese even say Alla as God which is basically Allah.

Maltese are actually only mixed with Arabs. Maltese language is a direct descendent of the Arabic that was spoken in Sicily during the Emirate there and the Tunisian Arabic spoken back then. That is why Tunisians can understand Maltese the most although all other Arabs will understand a lot as well. The problem is that modern-day Maltese has been heavily mixed with Italian (due to Italian migrants from Sicily) and then you had English influences and some French ones as well.

Describe below here.

Since Maltese are Christians and they live in Australia (Christian and Western country) they don't want to associate themselves with Arabs, Muslims or non-Western countries even though much of their culture, language, cuisine, geography is more Arab than say German, English or whatever. Besides Muslims have had a bad reputation in recent times (last few decades and even before that - last 100-200 years or so - of course earlier as well too due to Arab/Turkish conquests of Europe) but that was mostly religiously motivated. For instance Arabic was taught at leading European universities (Oxford, Cambridge, Sarbonne etc.) and much of the European Renaissance is thanks to the Arabs/Muslims and their spread of knowledge during the Islamic Golden Age.

You probably have some Lebanese Christian fags claiming to be Phoenicians (forgetting that they WERE a Semitic people as well and they themselves claimed to be from Eastern Arabia (modern-day Eastern KSA ironically) and Semitic people originated in Arabia/Southern Levant/Southern Mesopotamia so it makes sense also, so they can appear "superior" to the Western man. Just inferiority complexes, nothing else. You can see that behavior among certain other Christian Arabs too, even ethnic Arabs like Jordanians. A minority though. Sellouts exists everywhere.

Arabs existed in the Middle East long before the Muslim Arab conquests happened even proven by historical archives of numerous Arab peoples and tribes living in Syria, Iraq and Jordan.

Muslim Arab conquests gradually led to even more Arabs settling in these places.

A lot of people tend to treat as if Arabs are outsiders to many Middle Eastern countries which is wrong.

I mean Arabs and other Semitic people are the natives of the MENA region. We have by far the longest history and the oldest civilizations in the region (in fact the world). So that idea (not seen it often to be honest with you) is insane. Like saying that Aboriginals in Australia are foreigners.

Actually Arabs lived even in Egypt almost 1500 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad (saws). There were Arab kingdoms in modern-day Anatolia/Southern Caucasus almost 1000 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad (saws) too.

One such example:

132 BC–AD 216

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osroene

Arabs lived in Iran long before Islam as well. The closely related Semitic Phoenicians (originally from Eastern Arabia) colonized much of Southern Europe and even went as far north as the British Isles which is why Celtic languages and Semitic languages have grammatical similarities and some shared ancient words.

BTW forgot to mention modern-day Palestine/Israel and Lebanon but you mentioned Sham already (Syria, Iraq).

In fact the earliest attested recording of Arabs as distinct Semitic people dates back some 3000 years and was recorded in Assyria. The "original" homeland of Arabs is believed to have been in the borderlands of Northern Arabia, Mesopotamia and Sham. Much like that of the Semitic peoples.

I mean if we go far enough back in time, we are all apparently (originally) from Eastern Africa and as modern science has proved the first humans outside of Africa lived in Arabia before they ventured out to the remaining world.

From my personal opinion the battle of tours was exaggerated by the Frankish historians and other westerns

Many Westerns claim this battle save Christian Europe but in reality the battle was not big and it was made a big deal by the modern westerners because the Muslim historians themselves didn’t mention this battle with any significant importance

It was a footnote in our military history and at the time a battle far, far away from the heartland (Tours is next to Paris) but for Europeans (particularly Western Europeans, Roman Catholics and France) it was a defining battle and probably the most important battle between Muslims and Europeans to date. Had we succeeded, world history could have been totally different.

Remember that at that time in history, the Franks were the by far strongest military power in Europe. A century later Charlemagne conquered much of Europe and created the Holy Roman Empire.

I think the perfect time for another attack was after the division of the Frankish empire into three kingdoms

An EXCELLENT documentary about the Arab Islamic history of Europe and a documentary about a small part of the Islamic civilization that stretched from Portugal to the Indus River - biggest empire the world had ever seen at that time.

Covers parts of France, Al-Andalus and Sicily. Wonderful, wonderful documentary. Narrated by the great Somalian host. It is especially great if you have seen all those World UNESCO heritage sites left by the Arab Muslims in Al-Andalus in person such as Granada, Cordoba etc.

This is were some of our ancestors roamed and made the area great. It was also were Muslim Arabs, Muslim Berbers and Jews and Christians worked together and Al-Andalus was a world power and probably the most developed place on earth followed by the Abbasid Caliphate. Al-Andalus lasted 800 years.

It is funny that we have families who lived in Al-Andalus in the Arab world after the Muslims were defeated in around year 1500.

You know it is bullshit, when the first thing you read on the title is ... "BBC" the very first News Network of the Zionist-Swines, the epitome of lies and deception. Now the trick is, to detect the lies wrapped in half truths. They are masters of misleading the world to follow their narratives. Never trust these old-farts, they have no dignity, no morals and are rotten at the core. But they put on quite a show, displaying themselves as some benevolent, honor stricken, halo wearing imbeciles.
