At this point, the only point you have made is based on an ad homenim attack. Not much of a point if we were in a referreed debate. The nature of sources is completely irrelavent if they are true. If you can demonstrate that any source I have used is lying about historical fact, then by all means do so right away. If you can't, just suck it up and accept the historical record I have presented as true and try to make a golden age of islam jibe with it.The myth of a golden islamic age in spain (or anywhere else for that matter) originated in the 19th century. Almost a milliniuim after the age was supposed to have happened. Do you not find it suspicious that the historians of the time have an entirely different story? The jewish historians speak of a time of terrible persecution and islamic historians speak of a time of conquest and victory?You can either dispute them or you can't. If you , in any discussion, ever post information of a historical nature that I dissagree with, you will find that I will either accept it as true, or provide a credible source or sources that disputes what you have said. You will never see me attack a source as a basis for a rebuttal as that is a genuine logical fallacy. If you ever do see me do such a thing, I would appreciate it if you would point it out to me. If you would like, I can put together a bibliiography to take to your local library or university to do some reading. I have done plenty. I rarely post anything that I haven't spent time verifying for accuracy.
