Oh perfect, a link to wikipedia, thare's some great historical knowledge there. That was dripping with sarcasm, if you couldn't tell. I hate to break your bubble, but wikipedia is worse than a hobo on the corner when it comes to historical knowledge. You seem to have yoru facts completely wrong, claiming that the Moors perserved culture and started the Renaissance is just silly. I also never said anything about the Moors, I was just blaming the Ottomans for slowing down the Renaissance, which comes from the Byzantines, not the Moors. |
Well if you think you are convincing by making statements and saying they're facts because you're saying them, I don't know who you think you're kidding. Read some material on the matter. Beleive it or not, that Wikipedia link offers good information.
Now if you could genuenly provide any sources to indicate that the Moors didn't preserve Greek knowledge, and that Western Chriaitans didn't gain access to them during the Reconquista, be my guest.

Also watch the decomentary When the Moors Ruled in Europe.
Oh, did you know that if it weren't for the Moors instead of writing "1, 2, 3...", you'd be writing "I, II, III..."?
