THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE in those times lived in RURAL AREAS and never traveled to the main cities (it could take them 2 -3 days just to walk 80kms. All their lives were in the same villages and THE NEVER SAW A MOOR in all Al-Andalus period. But, hey, they like to paint all the maps is under muslim control as if there were muslims all over the villages.
I wonder if for example the Brits believe that when they were 500 years under Roman rule this meant that there were italians in each village, city, and place in England. Not at all. The Romans just controlled the main capitals, the main places with a few hundred of soldiers, and very Little else. 100% of the natives from rural áreas never saw a roman in their lives. Al Andalus was even worst because from the very begining we went to fight to kick them out and the religious divide between christians and muslims was massive in those times (100 times more than today), so how can any retard believe in peaceful convivence of muslim-christians in rural áreas??? Impossible. I doubt that the number of real muslims from northAfrica combined in all the centuries were more than 40-50.000. There are hardly muslim cemeteries from Al-Andalus while we have hundreds of visigothic cemeteries and they came like 150.000.
It was a thing of rulers and of diplomacy. The muslims were "invited" by a traitor governant (like today) to fight along one of the 2 sides of the visigothic civil war, and moros they were, they betrayed the governant and also fought against them. Then, they went to the 6-7 main cities in the half south and the jews opened the gates for them as the new rulers (with diplomacy they "won" the main cities). There are ZERO evidences of battles to gain Merida, Toledo, or other main cities during the muslim conquest. Just 2-3 battles of a few hundred soldiers at the begining but the main cities were just controlled by diplomacy. It took them just 7 years to reach to the north in a country with 5 million of natives. What does this mean??? Don´t 5 million of people can destroy those few hundreds of muslims in the year 711-718?? Obviously yes, but they DID NOT EVEN KNOW that there was a muslim conquest, that is why nobody revolted in the rural áreas. It was "something in the capital" in a time when 99% of the people lived in rural áreas. So, no one cared. If rural people cared the muslim rule of the main cities of the half south of Spain would have lasted 1 month and all the moros would have been kicked out in the begining.
