Did Arabs/Moors influence Spain in a positive way? Why Mongols couldn't do the same in Russia?

[Methuselah]

Why Mongols couldn't do the same in Russia? Or Ottomans in Balkans? Discuss please.

The Arabs/Moors were never in Spain nor have they influenced Spain, in Spain flows the Spanish and everything in Spain belongs to the Spanish and has a Spanish character. Learn about time and space.

Do not forget that the Spaniards of the time made La Reconquista and any attempt at admission and or reconciliation or acceptance of that past in addition to a challenge is an offense.

Do you know of any territory in Europe that has been at war for 8 centuries?

Are you seriously claiming the Moors were never in Spain? Or is this some sort of poetic jumble that you have to be mentally ill to decipher in which it's acknowledged but at the same denied?

While Moorish cultural influence tends to be exaggerated are you claiming North Africans didn't leave a genetic influence as they expanded into Spain under Arab leadership?

[Cristiano viejo]

Spaniards dont speak Arabic, dont have Arab surnames and dont have the Arabic religion.
And the most important thing, dont look like Arabs.

Moors brought their guitar talent to Spaniards.

How can you conquer something back from some people you claims never existed in your country? It's like saying "Celts never exister, they disappeared". How can they disappear if they never existed?
