Cities of Light - The Rise and Fall of Islamic Spain
Al-Andalus (Arabic: الأندلس) was the Arabic name given to the parts of the Iberian Peninsula and Septimania governed by Arab and North African Muslims (given the generic name of Moors), at various times in the period between 711 and 1492.
Following the conquest, al-Andalus was divided into five administrative areas roughly corresponding to Andalusia, Galicia and Portugal, Castile and Léon, Aragon and Catalonia, and Septimania. As a political domain or domains, it successively constituted a province of the Umayyad Caliphate, initiated by the Caliph Al-Walid I (711750); the Emirate of Córdoba (c. 750929); the Caliphate of Córdoba (9291031); and the Caliphate of Córdoba's taifa (successor) kingdoms.
In succeeding centuries, Al-Andalus became a province of the Berber Muslim dynasties of the Almoravids and Almohads, subsequently fragmenting into a number of minor states, most notably the Emirate of Granada. For large parts of its history, particularly under the Caliphate of Córdoba, Al-Andalus was a beacon of learning, and the city of Córdoba became one of the leading cultural and economic centres in both the Mediterranean basin and the Islamic world.
For much of its history, Al-Andalus existed in conflict with Christian kingdoms to the north. In 1085, Alfonso VI of León and Castile captured Toledo, precipitating a gradual decline until, by 1236, with the fall of Córdoba, the Emirate of Granada remained the only Muslim-ruled territory in what is now Spain. The Portuguese Reconquista culminated in 1249 with the conquest of the Algarve by Afonso III. In 1238, Granada officially became a tributary state to the Kingdom of Castile, then ruled by Ferdinand III. On January 2, 1492, Muhammad XII surrendered complete control of Granada to Ferdinand and Isabella, Los Reyes Católicos, "The Catholic Monarchs".

שורשי סכסוך ערבי ישראלי
שורשי הסכסוך הערבי ישראלי (והישראלי פלשתינאי) נטועים ברבם באנטישמיות המודרנית שעברה ייבוא מאירופה המאה ה19. גל מהומות שפקדו את הקהילות היהודיות בסוף המאה ה19 ותחילת המאה ה20 היו שינוי כיוון מהותי ביחסי יהודים וערבים במזרח התיכון. אך כל זה היה רק סנונית ראשונה של מה שהלך לקרות בשנות השלושים והארבעים עם חדירת האידאולוגיה הנאצית אל העולם הערבי וחיבור הלאומנות הערבית עם האידאולוגיה הנאצית. מכונת התעמולה של גבלס שלחה נציגים גרמנים אל המזרח התיכון, חילקה חומרי תעמולה, אימנה כוח אדם ולבסוף אף גייסה את יחידות המוסלמים של אס.אס. בבלקן תחת המופטי הפלשתינאי מירושלים - מוחמד אמין אל חוסייני, מנהיג הערבים הפלשתינאים משנת 1920.
