uhm... do you know that the northern kingdoms in spain were populated by christian fanatics? do you know that islam was the most tolerant religion at that particular period of time? after el cid the whole thing got worse. I daresay that Cid was of central importance as far as the conquista is concerned.
Yes, of course there were Christian fanatics.
And you failed to answer my points about the yeniceri movement and Yusuf.
fanatics who eventually caused the reconquista and forced jews to convert or die. That's why i came up with Spinoza - his ancestors were Jewish Spaniards and had to flee to Amsterdamsometimes the context is important. I agree on yusuf and the osman yeniceri movement bein muslim extremists, but when did these things happen? besides, do these examples prove your point? p/s "kill the indian, save the man." I bet you know that indian kids were forcefully converted in the 19th century. But does it mean that christianity is a cruel religion?
