It’s interesting. I literally just found your channel yesterday and was disappointed that you had stopped uploading and then I see the video about the new channel a day later.

Interesting video. Personally, I see al-Andalus as closer to what a state should look like than modern liberal democracies. The reason is that minorities knew that they were minorities but they were given rights, hence the state was functional. In modern Europe, ideological minorities such as ideological Muslims, ideological Christians and nationalists are told that their beliefs are liberalism when they are not. This results in dysfunctional societies such as in the U.K. the Christians and Jews in al-Andalus knew that they couldn’t publicly oppose the state ideology, yet they were given rights and could practise their religion (apart from the Almuwahid era)

Very interesting and thorough debunking. I guess I should be glad that Spain also has its fair share of lunatic history buffs. (I added a link to this video in the comment section of a blogpost I did debunking Fernadez-Morera's atrocious right wing Catholic attack the history of al-Andalus. Much of his argument sounds like some of your commenters!)

Yeah, sadly I think in every country there are a lot of bad history takes, mostly because of nationalistic narratives.

Eh seems biased. Why are you being so academic as a Spaniard? You should tell our side about how we were enslaved for so many centuries and won our freedom despite huge odds. Why are you sympathising with invader? They’re legit the villain of the story
