- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- The story of Al Andalus and Hispania continues in the era of the Crusades. However, the crusading zeal in the Iberian peninsula is held in check by the Almoravids. This new and formidable North African power takes the peninsula by storm and ushers in their own brand of religious fundamentalism.

Thank you everyone for helping to make this channel a success!! Please share the videos, post on social media, and embed in blogs of people who you think may also enjoy the series! I appreciate anything you can do to help make this content grow!
Thank u for your amazing effort man. But al muwahidun were not "fondamentalist" they were lunatic heretics as u know by your own doc even the most strict shariah applied by campanions of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him we r not allowed even to be unjust towards dhimmis let alone killing them along side the muslims this type of sect is called khawarej they were predicted by prophet Muhammad who described them as dogs of hell n that their daily prayer (salet) would be even better than the one of the campanions yet they r devient from the straight path. The way u wrote on the screen al madhi (=the past) its al Mahdi (the guided one) n its obvious now he was not the Mahdi rather like u said just a heretic extremist sufi

@@FlashPointHx you are welcome here brother. By the way, what city did you visited 😍😍
@@walid8108 My buddy and I flew into Casablanca and then went up to Rabat, across to Fez (seeing Volubolis), then to the Western Sahara via the Valley of Ziz and Merzouga. Then past Erfoud to Ouazazate and onwards to Marrakesh - before getting back to Casablanca - we were out there for a few weeks.
@@FlashPointHx wowww!! Im Realy happy for you, im moroccan from Casablanca and i never did all this tour
I finally got to see this. Without fail your content is always pleasant to watch, the narrative is superb. Incredible how fanaticism was the norm in those days.
Always means a lot coming from you. As I've always said, your videos are also getting better and better. Looking forward to a collaboration at some point. As far as the fanaticism - sheesh we haven't even gotten to the Spanish Inquisition!

Oh we're definitely planning that already. It's just a matter of picking a topic and aligning our respective schedules, but we're both up for a collaboration!

Definitely! HxMarche has some insane skills and I can tell by his work that he is a perfectionist like me.
Our Moroccan dynasties were So strong❤️🇲🇦🇲🇦 I'm proud of our fathers (Almoravids and almohads also saadis etc ..)
Only the Almohad originated in Morocco. The Almoravids came from Mauritania and Senegal but established their Capital in Morocco.

Really happy you like my series, I'll be going on into the Spanish Monarchy and Nasrid Granada. The Marinids will definitely come up.

Much like the Abbasids did to the Umayyads when they overthrew that previous dynasty, the Almojads put all the male members of the Almoravids to the sword when they took power. That ruthlessly, but effectively, eliminated future opposition from that quarter.
Hi my name is Juan Pablo Rivera. From andaluz n I have to say I love this .

Thanks! Will do. Let me know what you think of the Battle of Las Navas De Tolosa when you make it there
FLASH: THANK YOU FOR BRINGING A MORE CLEARLY AUTHENTIC HISTORICAL NARRATIVE. FOR OUR CHILDREN
I feel like this example, along with examples we see today, religious fanaticism provides minimal gain. All it does is push your enemies to be just as zealous and vicious as you so it creates this cycle of increasing animosity. I would say Abdur Rahman III's rule also proves that religious cohesion is superior. When the Muslims allowed the Jews and Christians to flourish, the Muslims themselves gained off their work, and they were definitely crucial in creating the Al-Andalus golden age.
We will see this even more during the Almoravids and the Almohads - and for the Christian side, the crusade mentality will really take hold. A vicious cycle that will eventually spill over to the new world.
I can't a gree with you more. You are right. It's a never ending vicious cycle and the opposite of what religion is supposed to create, so it is self defeating.
Note that there may be a mistake on the maps and the berber tribe : the Masmuda and Zenata tribes may have been inverted. The zenatas are the berbers tribes of the north of Morocco (the one from which most of Merinids were from). The Masmuda are the berbers from central Morocco ie the Atlas mountain from where the Almohads launched their movements.
A lot of people dont talk about it, but the masmuda berbers were also responsible for establishing the hafsid dynasty in what is now tunisia, libya and algeria.
are you sure that zenata were in north morroco only ? ?
Finally I've been waiting for a real long time like damnnn
The best stuff is worth the wait , right? 😜
Huxley calling righteous harm as a moral treat seems like it fits this era, and by extension human nature. It is a great reminder in the current climate of "return to monke" movements that our nature does have ugly sides we need to constantly rise above.
I still cant believe this channel is so underrated

Thank you very much!
What we had was Jihad vs. Crusade. The Jihad has been going on since the early 8th century here in Spain, and the 7th century in the East.
Christians were killed and enslaved for several hundred years. That's why we had Crusades.
The Moroccan ruling dynasties were powerful indeed, for more than thousand years, it would be great if you could* go farther as Marinids, Saady and the current one; Alaouy dynasty...
*edit
I agree - I will be going into the Marinids in the next two episodes! Very powerful in their own right

I really am enjoying these videos.
My last name is Roca and it goes back to a French knight who came from across the Pyrenees to aid the Kingdom of Aragon.
Thats amazing that you know your family lineage so well! Yes, after the crusades, knights from Western Europe would band together to fight Islamic Spain. Do you know what year your ancestor did this?

i got my name from "Mehdi ibn Tumart" and studied at his university (named after him) in Casablanca, Thanks for great work !
Enjoying the podcast at the moment, you mention something that made me think. There is a long history of holy war. Following the concept of holy war as a throughline in a series might be very interesting.
I agree, however another fan pointed out that he did not feel that there was such a thing as holy war prior to the Crusades. I don’t exactly agree with this opinion. I think that the biggest difficulty in identifying what holy war is, is the definition of holy war itself. It’s different depending on which person you ask. I’m curious what you would have in mind when you speak of the history of holy war. Where would you start? Who would you identify?.
@@FlashPointHx It's a very good question and could make for a challenging doctoral dissertation. There are a lot of points to touch on to do this question any justice and tough to put together as a response in a concise TH-cam comment.
It seems as though the Western crusades were a religiously driven response to the initial expansion of Islam. Like you say, whether we can call that initial growth of Islam as a 'holy war' is up for debate - I too would like to learn more before applying the term. I do think however, there is a greater discussion of monotheism and its affect on the human psyche. Does a cultures belief in a singular God make them more warlike? Does it become easier to ascribe the supernatural will of a God to ones side in battle as opposed to the will of multiple gods? Further questions would be if there are examples of military expansion under other monotheistic cultures before Islam? If not, was there some sort of spark for some sort of backlash propelling religious war and what were they? Did Constantine's embrace of Christianity have any lasting impact on cultures to the east?
Ultimately I only have more questions but I do think there is something within the discussion that is very intriguing and you indirectly deal with in your videos on religious wars.
There's my 2 cents on that, I will leave you to mull them over. Always looking forward to your upcoming creations!
The further I go into this series, the more historical landmines I find. Was there tolerance in Islamic Spain? Why did the Crusades happen? I always want to drop my own opinion - but I find myself stopping short and trying to stick to the idea of keeping the historical narrative going. I personally think that the concept of a God - either polytheistic or monotheistic is an extension of the people who created them. What is it that Mark Twain said? "God created man in his own image, and man (being a gentleman) did likewise." Aggression, apprehension of the unknown, attempting to explain the natural world, and curiosity all got baked into that creation of a divine being - a primary mover. I think it is also a natural aspect of a civilization to perceive itself as being better that its peers and thus its God will need to be the same. War against her neighbors is an extension of that. For the definition of Holy War, I'd say St Augstine of Hippo's City of God has a decent explanation - but alas each question you ask above is a pHD thesis and not easily addressed in a youtube comment section. I do agree that the more one looks into these questions, the more questions are generated. Love your insight Ed, hope to hear more from you in the future! @@endo_kun_da

Great content as always
Thank you!
The Almoravids were Salafis, text, repetition, imitation and indoctrination, and they were from the Berbers of the oases Sanhaja.Confederation tribes Lamtouna, Masoufa, Jadalah and Lamta
But under the rule of the Berber Almohads, they were masters of philosophy, logic, ideas, mysticism, spirituality, knowledge, natural applications, and scientific activities.
People will always find a way to justify their behavior. No one really wants to be the bad guy. People like to see themselves as the hero of the story.
Already have a collaboration in mind for the new world !

I am Coptic orthodox grew up I Egypt . I have been visiting many European countries . Spain was one of them I visited four times till now . I heard a lot about religious tolerance in Islamic Spain . To me it is not different at all from what I lived in Egypt . Yes, in Cairo the capital we live next to each other peacefully and close and we make friends with each other BUT you know and they know and the states law that we are second degree citizens . Certain jobs ,like in military , police, government,universities,legislative institutions, we are ((almost )) forbidden to think to apply even if someone proved to be better for the job than his fellow Muslim .
Leave the capital and go to upper Egypt or any rural areas and you will find real harassment , kidnapping young girls to force them into Islam ,some eras in the long history they kill fellow Christians in the neighborhoods if refused Islam as religion.
Till this time we are relatively protected by the military command under the new president .
Christians in Egypt submit to a dictator military background president just to protect themselves from Islamic fanatics.
So Please Please Be very conservative and cautious when western historians use the word Religious Tolerance of Islamic Spain!!
The Almohads massacred tens of thousands of Jews, especially in Fez and Marrakesh, and forced many of them to convert to Islam
Great podcast.
Hey thanks!
Awsome
Amazing video, been waiting for it. Why aren't the videos 30 minutes or 50 minutes like the punic wars one. The longer the better haha.

In the same vein as @ 12:40, had President Fulgencio Batista of Cuba realized that Fidel Castro would take the nation that Batista had turned into a rich, prosperous country with one of the highest standards of living in the entire world into a bankrupt social and economic basket-case, he certainly would have executed Castro when he had him in his power. History is replete with examples of rulers who treat opponents mercifully much to their later regret.

I Liked the unbiased history you are presenting, but What about part 4 of the Crusade History? did you canceled that? or just delayed?
Sorry to say, but there was never going to be a part 4 for the crusade - I covered the First Crusade just as a bonus episode to give my listeners an idea of what was going on, on the other end of the Mediterranean. The history of Spain has been my focus.
What a coincidence.

Holy wars come from thinking of being special and have a purpose that goes in contrast with other's who think they're special, say that you had "God" speak with you and find meaning to be united and not kill each other and that start an identity for the people in that group, who share the same thinking, identity and oh man humans still exceed on living under pre-constructed identity.
If god is with us, who could be against us -- said both sides =)
The devil, or simply heretic. Also said both sides...

Great video sir. What makes you so interested in the Muslim history?
I've travelled my entire life and have experienced the culture that surrounds some 'Islamic' countries - like Morocco, Egypt, UAE etc. They have a poignant history that has decisively affected the modern world (like any major religion for good and bad). Yet, Its an aspect of history that seems to get blinked over and marginalized in the west. Sadly, it is also now pigeon holed into its more radical elements and scapegoated. From what I've seen in the form of documentaries - very little is evenly balanced.
@@FlashPointHx you took the words right out of my mouth
What editing program(s) do you use?
iMovie, PowerPoint, and Apple Motion
Dude I just love your content....but more than any thing else I love how objective you are .....unlike other channels ( am looking at you Real Crusades History ) who sounds very fanatic and stupid once they open their mouth specially when they use the term Saracens ...even if their content is good but their way of delivery sounds very subjective and biased and one sided...unlike these douch bags I never felt offended by your interpretation or narrative or language or choice of words....totally a safe learning environment without getting distracted by any political accuracy terminology issue...keep up the good work bro....love and respect from Egypt ( the name itself is prestigious enough )
Wonder if the term "Ahmid" have any relation to Ahmadiya.
The Order of Santiago's motto cannot be translated as "may the sword run red" as "rubet" would need to be changed to the subjunctive mood "rubeat" to express that desiderative meaning in Latin
"Rubet" is in the indicative mood and so it indicates a reality: "the sword runs red with the blood of Arabs"
Perhaps - but I got this verbatim from several sources
@@FlashPointHx I trust that you document yourself extensively and I commend that, however secondary sources are not infallible - this is a question of Latin grammar that really cannot be discussed, unlike many historical disagreements
Also "Arabum" is genitive plural third declension: "of (the) ArabS", if it were singular it would read "Arabis"
Could there have been an issue when it was converted from Roman to ecclesiastical Latin?
Flash Point History not really. Ecclesiastical Latin only differs in vocabulary and pronunciation. Conjugations and syntax are identical.
@@oiseaudubonheur Gotcha - you sound like you know your stuff. My expertise in latin is limited. Thanks for responding and clarifying
I find disgusting the way you refer to Christianity and particularly the idea that motivated the Crusades or Holy war. You ignored that Christianity was fighting against an enemy with the idea of Jihad or Holy war. You ignore that the mentioned Jihad led Islam to conquer former Christian lands in the Middle East and North Africa not to mention Spain in the 7th and 8th century 400 years before the first Crusade. The idea of Jihad came into being from the very inception of Islam in the 7th century. I just quote Sudra 9:5 from the Quoran also called the verse of the sword "hunt the infidel wherever you find them. If they do not submit behead them" Hence, Crusaders borrow the idea of Holy war from their enemies. How can you judge people from the 11th century under your secular point of view? I find particularly disgusting how much you dislike Christianity.
Yes, well said.
Lack of information about what Islam did after they conquered the Middle East.We all humanity did mistakes but I always seeing it in documentaries how historians are so soft on Islamic wars and motives . Not sure if they r scared to be harassed or ignorant
Algerien dislike the video 😂
for the almoravide and almohade their home was not only morroco but also the west part of algeria ,also it's not accurate to split the origins of these empires with regards of today's countries as back then,there was not a current known countries there was a berber tribes who mainly was the root of every empire which had rose (sanhadja, zenata masmouda....) the almoravides were sanhadja tribes which spread through all the maghreb, the almohades had a masmoudian tribes army,but the holgarchy originated from zenata tribes (in the east of morroco and the west of algeria).... thank you
Good points
Holy War is a combination of 4 things I believe.
1. Its the primal violent human psyche, actually not just human, primate psyche because chimpanzees exhibit this behavior too, that motivates. It blinds the mind into yearning for a fight or flight response and vicious hatred to the point of death for the other. The reason this exists must be some evolutionary advantage maybe to do with hunting other animals like deer and running from others like saber-tooth cats. That leads to the second reason.
2. A classic us vs. them. What better reason than religion to justify if you are with us or against us. And against us because of belief, well that's punishable by death. Again it ties to prehistory when for millennia, actually 100,000s years worth of prehistoric man, small communities of hunter gathers needed to band together for survival and all encounters with other groups must be considered hostile initially, you never know? "That's them that lives on the other side of the hill, they believe in different spirits than us and oh yeah they look different, talk different, and stole some stuff and woman from us a couple generation ago too". It might even stem from the human vs. neanderthal or the other human like types that coexisted with modern humans. That Us vs. Them mentality will always be in the human brain forever and it is still causing problems.
3. Almost nothing motivates the mind more for a group of people exhibiting peer pressure on each other than religion. Really not religion but belief. It usually is benign maybe leading to some xenophobia but it can quickly spiral out of control involving both my 1 & 2 reasons into, "oh we need to kill someone if they aren't going to drink the Kool Aide we been all sipping on". This motivating factor of belief and thinking God or Allah or Zeus or Thor is on your side from the paranormal is almost like a hallucinogen. It is a unique human quality. And many millions have marched into their violent or otherwise death because of it. But also used that as justification for their actions.
4. Humans are crazy, and I say this in the broadest sense not as a mental health dis. An imperfect "perfect design in Gods image" that has many faults, each and everyone of us forever in history and into the future.
most moroccans do not descend from these noble highly influential dynasties so i don't know why they feel related... the overwhelming majority of moroccans are of mixed arab-berber descent hence their lack of culture, a culture drawn and drained from the native autochtonous people. most of these ''mixed'' moroccans have no value no principles no honor for instance ''doukkalis'' ''chaouis'' ''3abdis'' '' rhamnis'' ''gherbaouis'' they all got bad and vile reputation. i personally hope that morocco will become free of these dirty prototypes.

FYI: YOUR 'DEPICTION' OF SPAINS ... STANTO DEIGO ... WAS 'BACKWARDS'.
Think I flipped it on purpose to see who it would work out.
FLASH: WHO OR HOW?
opps - "how it would work out"
I strongly disagree with religion being a driving cause behind wars before montheisms, the first fanatic warriors of that kind were Moses' Jews and then came their first derivative, the Roman Christians and their second derivative the Arab Muslims. These and only these make "holy wars".
Well,the almohads were in no way more 'orthodox' nor 'fundamental' in regards to Islamic teachings than their moravid enemies,in fact they were more deviants than orthodox,the almoravids were Maliki sunni's though.
The almohads never followed,as you might call it,Orthodox or fundamental islam until the reign of Ya'qub Al-mansor the golden.
Their greatest ruler.

The Crusades were nothing but wars of extermination, even the Christians did not survive them. As for us, we did not kill a single civilian, wounded or captive. We did not create a single city. We let Christians and Jews live with us. We did not impose Islam on anyone. As for you, you know the extent of the history record of you, Joseph was with you Bin Ahmed Bin Abdullah Al-Gharnati Al-Khazraji Al-Ansari
there was blood on everyone's hands in this one.
@@FlashPointHx He was just. You are a teacher in history. When did Muslims enter or conquer a city and burn it and kill everyone in it with the edge of the sword? As for the battlefield, yes, there you choose either to be a knight or a butcher.
I am not sure where did you grow up . But I am Coptic Egyptians and what you are mentioning is definitely not true about Islamic conquers . I am as a Christian , not proud of bloody crusades even the Pop apologized for crusaders brutal behaviors but most Muslims all over the world are so proud of their conquers
My answer to your question about what causes a holy war is when someone like the alohomads attack’s and captures a very holy city like jewreselhem
Be careful Morocco wasn’t GEOGRAPHICALLY “ToDaY’S” Morocco💯💯💯
our sources Do not describe the Moroccan-European wars as religious So the approach you started with is generally incorrect
But it was patriotic in the first place, and Islam was only an ethnic cover
And I will prove this by using two clear examples from the history of Morocco, one before Islam and the second after Islam
The beginning will be by reviewing a paragraph from the book The World Order by Henry Kissinger, the former US Secretary of State, in which he talks about the Roman Empire's liberation of Spain from the Moorish (Moroccan) invasion.
The Moroccans invaded Roman Spain more than three times in a row, spanning the years of the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian until the era of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, almost since the assassination of the Moorish Prince Lusius Quietus in 118 AD, by Emperor Hadrian, which led to the outbreak of Moorish military campaigns from Morocco against Rome all the way to Until the year 178 AD, the date of the end of the last Moorish campaign against Spain, with its defeat at the hands of the Roman army corps of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, that is, we are talking about a Moroccan-Roman war that lasted for more than 60 years, in Iberia
The second clear example is stopping the Ottoman advance in North Africa militarily. If Islam is the only thing that pushes Morocco to war with the Europeans, then it is illogical to go to war against a Muslim empire , and at other times we ally with the Europeans against the Ottomans.
The reason was patriotic. Moroccans do not accept being ruled by any stranger, be it Turkish, European or Arab, and we have made Islam an ethnic cover in order to justify our expansion.
And also to give more legitimacy to the rulers of Morocco
Excellent video, however the Almoravids didn’t originate from Morocco. The movement started in Mauritania and Senegal with the gudala and lamtuna tribes. They did however establish their Capital in Morocco. That’s all I wanted to say great video otherwise though.
@Antoine Shelby yes the one of the founders was a moroccan. However the ruling class and warriors come from the gudala and lam-tuna tribes in West Africa. (EDIT: I meant to say the first large scale conversion)The first converts were at the kingdom of Takrur in Senegal. These were the tribes conquered Morocco and established their capital at Marrakech. They also conquered half of Spain, as well as the Niger.
@Antoine Shelby yes the moroccans were muslim however they came from rival tribes at the time EDIT: the almorsvid tribes were at war with the moroccan tribes. An im not talking about converts to islam im talking about the first people Abdullah ibn yassine converted to his version of islam
Moreover what I said still stands the almoravids were comprised of a Lamtuna and Gudala ruling, and warrior class. The Gudala came from Senegal and the Lamtuna were from Mauritania.
@Antoine Shelby i never said it wasn’t a moroccan dynasty I said the dynasty didn’t begin in morocco the same way America is in the but the people aren’t native to the land. In hind sight I should have specified that. EDIT: Abdullah ibn yasin was a theologian and spiritual leader of the almoravid MOVEMENT. Abdullah was approached by yahya ibrahm yasin who was a member of the GODALA tribe. Yahya asked him to preach islam to his people in MAURITANIA and thats how the almoravids got started.
Lumtume trib3s starte from the sluth of morocco. Almiravids was created by abdulah ibn yassine he is a moroccan schoolar

It's rlly annoying when ppl say "the almohads".. "al" is "the" in arabic.. so you should say Almohads or the Mohads
*DEVS LO VVLT*
why you forget to talk of Abd Al Mumin? He was the follower of ibn tumart and will become the first caliph of almohads he is from nedroma a city in algeria near tlemcen also he will defeat the almoravids in oran and the almoravids leader will die with his wife when he flee for go to a port. Litterally all conquests of almohads will be do by abd al mumin!
All that shit you mentioned belongs to algerian propaganda, you must instruct yourself with credible informations!
@@antoniobenoit Get mad moroccan
@@fknight1446 Actually if you want to visit all Almohades temples and monuments you have to travel to Morocco, same for Almoravides, Marinides, etc. This actually happen because they are true moroccan dynasties 😀 one thing to add is you algerians you're not welcome to Morocco coz simply we look at you as a barbaric people. Finally i'm proud to be moroccan with pure blood, not a mixture of ottomans, French and Arab spermatozoïdes like you poor algerian. btw :honestly i don't know what they teach you there coz most of the time i saw algerians spreading shit in comments like if they never went to school.
@@antoniobenoit However most of Moroccans hostiles to Algerians and if i want to come in your country i do it anyway i don't really care and you were colonized and influenced by frenchs and ottomans aswell don't play smart you don"t know history of why rabat is capital of morocco today thanks to marechal lyautey that your people is being slave of a dynasty of billionaires with no middle class caste in your country with a police that terrify you even including riffians who tries to survives by selling drugs for some bring it to europe this is how mocro mafia groups were born in belgium and many others drug trafficking of western europe
@@fknight1446 Mansurah was never a capital for the Marinides empire it's just a building left by them. i'm getting mad simply because i'm seeing someone who's trying to steal my culture and heritage 😀 and i can say that all moroccans have the same opinion as mine because they are starting to get really annoyed by seeing algerians pretending most of the time that moroccan heritage is algerian or maghrébine. Me as a moroccan and based on my visit to algeria i saw that you as algerians are so influenced by moroccan culture but you have some real problems admitting that 🙂 Try to visit morocco, especially the imperial cities that were capitals for Almohades, Almoravides, Marinides empire, you'll release that you are living in a real propaganda. Btw : Morocco was never invaded by the ottomans and we were never a France colony, we had the status of a protectorat, also rabat was the capital of morocco back to the rule of Saadid empire, those who defeated Portuguese and ottomans and kept the sherifian empire (morocco) independent until 1912. Btw : We as moroccans aren't similar to tunisian and algerian and we have nothing in common.

Support Christian Spain from Hungary! Defend Europe from Islam!
Islam is a fabricated threat. Europe is no longer Christian but has become capitalist. Money is the new God.
Stay in the 16th century!
Europe were in dark before muslim came
Flash Point History needs to get more educated about the Crusades, the world the Crusades, the situation prior to and after the Crusades and in particular study the written personal witnesses left behind by some who actually became Crusaders. Some of the conclusions drawn in this video are not wholesome.
can you be more specific?
So glad Ancient mediocre accent and animation guy is gone.
The 1st crusade was started by a moor by the name of Hughes de payan who was a pagan and these Europeans templars had a special connection to these moors and that connection was baphomet or Mahomet the templars dabbled in the babylonian science just as the moors used this science to enlighten Europe and bring them out of the dark ages
What a narrow perspective of medieval history this guy shows. Had not been for the Crusaders we all would be having camel stew for supper tonight. Also his pronunciation of Latin sucks.
I strongly disagree . Had not been for the ERE for the most part or the Hammers Franks then this may , i say MAY , happen .
Christianity did the world a great service by riding Europe of an Islamic stronghold.
