I am from the UAE and I think Portugal is a very beautiful country and I would love to visit it one day. Also Portuguese are more than welcome to visit the UAE. :) We love Portuguese people here in my country.

I am portuguese woman and muslim and proud of our Al Andalus heritage

This comment section is so so sad.. Instead of embracing the heritage, everyone just gets into stupid hate fights. What a shame..

Lisbon is magical, mash'Allah :)

Actually I'm portuguese and muslim...it does not interfere with my culture. Culture and religion are 2 different things.

Cheers from Portugal.

Origin of European Portuguese. Portuguese is an old language and the written form can be dated back to the 12th century. Vulgar Latin, which was spoken on the west coast of the Iberian Peninsula, (now Portugal and the Spanish province of Galicia) basically replaced all previous local languages.

Portuguese people are so kind, and welcoming :)

theres actually a thousand Arabic words in Portuguese, look at the influences in your own language.

There are a lot of ethnicities within Portugal, it's a fact. Not everyone looks one thing or another. However, I, for one, TOTALLY embrace and LOVE our Moorish past and culture that we keep alive to this day! I only wish the Moors had left something bigger and more grandiose behind, like the Alhambra! Love from Portugal to Morocco!

Why cant ppl forget the past and live in the present...

انا اعيش في البرتغال نعم لايقبلون بفكرة انهم اصولهم ودمهم عرب وامازيغ توجد الكثير من الامثال والحكم اصلها عربي وآلله لو نقشوا كنائسهم لوجدوا ايات قرانية علي الجدران. حتي في الكلام العادي يسعملون. كلمة فلان لها نفس معني عربي وكلمة انشاء الله.هم يقولون.اوشلاه oxala

Beautiful Islamic architecture and Arabic civilization. Beautiful times.

Lets move to Portugal 🇵🇹

The title is wrong: The influence is not Arabic but Islamic and Moorish. As it's a known fact those who settled in the Iberian Peninsula are Amazigh (aka Berbers) North African Muslims. Having said that the content is interesting.

@ Peter Pan Both Spain and Portugal were one country under muslim rule as was before the muslims arrived in the Iberian peninsula. Hispania (the roman way of saying spain) was what it was. Most of the people were Muslims and most of the people became muslim. You say sharia is not compatible with our European values? This is what prince Charles of England had to say about muslim rule in iberia- • “Many of the traits on which modern Europe prides itself came to it from Muslim Spain. Diplomacy, free trade, open borders, the techniques of academic research, of anthropology, etiquette, fashion, various types of medicine, hospitals, all came from this great city of cities. Medieval Islam was a religion of remarkable tolerance for its time, allowing Jews and Christians the right to practise their inherited beliefs, and setting an example which was not, unfortunately, copied for many centuries in the West.” Prince Charles, The Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford, 1993.

Masha Allah

The word Portugal derives from the Roman-Celtic place name Portus Cale. ... Around 200 BC, the Romans took the Iberian Peninsula from the Carthaginians during the Second Punic War, and in the process conquered Cale and renamed it Portus Cale (Port of Cale).

moorish architecture not arab !!!

80% portuguese look arabic to me they look like moroccan muslim

The first Roman invasion of the Iberian Peninsula occurred in 219 BC. Within 200 years, almost the entire peninsula had been annexed to the Roman Republic, starting the Romanization of Hispania.

The Muslims did not occupy Portugal as some claim, because the word occupation is accompanied by devastation and destruction, and this did not happen. On the contrary, Muslims entered it, spreading knowledge and constructing beautiful buildings in it at a time when Europe lacked knowledge and constructed buildings. (this is the truth) 😔

Worst périod of history for portugal....

in Portuguese gloriapolo.com Arabic Poliski French Español Russian Italian Brazilian German Slovenian etc.

purtugals colnization in brazil, india, africa and the persian gulf was the same as ''arab-berber-persian;;'' muslims 900 years in spain and potugal/ 711-1509 A>D.

The Portuguese are Iberian Celtic Lusitanic people, not arabs!

The name of the Portugal itself came from an Arabic name of orange:) We call Orange in Arabic Bortugal ^_^

It s not arabic but berbers from north africa

How much ever Arabs contributed to the world they did this with the condition of the creation of Islamic Ummah and acceptance of Islamic way of life. So, moral of the story don't get anything free from Arabs and Muslim. There are good and bad people everywhere but Muslims goodwill is a way to promote their religion.

Mas que reporter linda aparece no final do vídeo! Eu virava muculmano se fosse ter umas 4 mulheres lindas como ela.

Portugal was once arab, al-andaluz. :)

This... 😅

We all Muslims loving Portugal they respect us I'm Arabian but I'm living in Germany, In Germany welcomed us until Muslims people and France & UK have more than 50% Muslims Kosovo has 95% Muslims it was a Christian country now it is Islamic country the UN said that Kosovo has more Muslims than Syria, Syria has 92% Muslim and 4 Christian. Albania has 65% Muslims they welcomed Muslims people and Poland had 0.1% Muslims they are not Arabs they are Planish people they accepted Muslim. European in 2012 has 4% Muslim now is 6% Muslims every country welcomed Muslims because they are more powerful than Christian people.

PORTUGAL nd spain is moroccan

Portugal is Arabic🤔

propaganda

Arab occupation? Whahahahaha😂😂😂 1) Arabs never conquered Portugal. The Moors conquered it 2) Most muslims in were not Arab 3) Most of Portugal was ruled by Moors, not by Arabs. Try again.

Don't listen to him. He is probably a guy with an inferiority complex towards other europeans, because he has doubts regarding the true "white" origins of the portuguese. And he should be, since the entire south have many many architectural and linguistic influences from the moors. Nearly, every town whose name starts with "Al" possesses an arabic etymology (Alcântara, Alentejo, Algarve, Alcácer, etc). Laranja (orange) is also arabic, for instance.

Actually, it should be portugal's influence on arabia and you should show all the 'arab' tribes descended from portuguese pirates and soldiers with bedouin captive/slave women lmao
