Muslim warriors vs. Spain & El Cid By euroheritagedotnet EUROPEAN HERITAGE LIBRARY WWW.EUROHERITAGE.NET PLEASE NOTE that the EHL does NOT portray that this video or its content is historical fact. This is merely a historical film in (biased) American cinema showing the legitimate cultural and religious antagonism between the invading Arabs and the native Iberians. Before the 8th century, "Spain" did not exist, but was ruled by a foreign Germanic Visigothic empire. (NOTE I am using the semi-inaccurate word "Spain" [that did not exist yet] because it is a better search keyword).This Christian state was obliterated, without provocation, by an invading army of Muslim Mujahidin from Morocco (the Umayyad state in Damascus). All Spanish (Iberian) states in the south were destroyed and laid to ruin, including numerous churches. A breakaway emirate, al-Andalus, then created a unique system of magnificent architecture that preferred money to religion, and granted religious freedom so long as native subjects paid exorbitant taxes. This tolerant state collapsed into regional, warring states as radical, hard-line Muslims (Almohads and Almoravids) crushed both the Christians and the liberal Muslims and barred all religions except Islam. Now under nearly 800 years of foreign conquest (without provocation), the many Iberian native states rallied together (more or less) in the Reconquista to expel their Mujahidin occupiers. One famous figure, in this film, was one Spaniard (Iberian) called Rodrigo Diaz. He was hunted by both Christian and Muslim, and created his own army with some of both religions, and was called "al-Sayyid" by the Muslims. The copyright of this film is expired.
