[calfoxwc]

Jewish History

Cordoba plays a pivotal role in the history of Jewish life in the middle ages. In the tenth century it became the seat of Jewish learning, scholarship and culture, gradually eclipsing the Babylonian academies of Sura and Pumbeditha. Its preeminence was undoubtedly the result of the grand achievements of one man, Hasdai Ibn Shaprut (915-970). A doctor, diplomat and scholar, Hasdai served the courts of Caliph Abd al-Rahman III and his successor Hakam II. His meteoric rise to power and influence brought acclaim to the Jewish community.

 

Hasdai's family wealth made it possible for him to surround himself with Jewish poets, philosophers and scholars. Under his tutelage, the great grammarian, Menahem ben Sharuk (910-970) completed the first dictionary of Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic, and launched a systematic investigation into Hebrew grammar. As secretary to the great diplomat, it was Menahem who penned Hasdai's famous letter to the King of the Chazars. Vying for Hasdai's favor was Dunash ben Labrat. He was a merciless critic of Menahem, and the two maintained an intense rivalry throughout the balance of their lives. Ben Labrat's contribution to Hebrew poetry was the introduction of meter.

 

Hasdai did not neglect the study of the law. He maintained a correspondence with Saadiah Gaon, the head of the Sura Academy and frequently sent money. His generosity earned him the title Resh Kallah, Head of the School. But Hasdai was not content with looking eastward for halachic guidance. He established an academy for Talmud study in Cordoba and purchased copies of the Talmud from the Babylonian communities. Under the guidance of Moshe ben Chanoch, the Cordoba academy flourished, becoming the Andalusian Sura.

 

The Cordoba Jewish community of Hasdai's time, situated near the alcazar, southwest of the city, was wealthy and vibrant. But the situation would soon change. In 1013, the Berbers lay seige to Cordoba and the city entered into a process of gradual decline, marked by occasional periods of glory. In later years, another famous native of Cordoba, Moses Maimonides, would flee the city, forced out by the ferocity of Almohade persecutions. In 1236 Cordoba was reconquered by the Christians and the community was labeled a "scandal against Christianity." Ferdinand and Isabella used Cordoba as their headquarters when they waged war against the remaining Moors in Granada, and the tribunal of the Inquisition established in Cordoba was especially cruel. Many Conversos were martyred during the 1480's. In 1483, Jews were exiled from Andalusia.

And who were the ALMOHADES?

 

they were violent, cruel Muslim fundamentalist/extremists, who would kill those who would not convert to Islam...

***************************************************

 

The Berber Almohade Tribesmen Smashed This Idyll, Driving Jews to the Christian North.

In the mid‑1100s, however, a force majeure decisively shattered these placid multicultural relations. Led by Abd al‑Mu'min al‑Mohade, scion of a fundamentalist North African Berber dynasty that has traditionally been called the Almohades, a new wave of Islamic warriors swept down from Algeria’s Atlas Mountains. Engulfing the North African littoral popula­tion, the invaders pressed across the Strait of Gibraltar to overrun central and southern Iberia.

 

Decades of brutal Almohade persecution followed—of forced conversions equally of Jews, Christians, and "backsliding" Muslims. Thousands of Andalusian Jews accordingly fled to the Spanish Christian kingdoms of the north. The grim interregnum continued for six decades, until 1212, when an alliance of Christian armies finally destroyed the Almohade minions at Las Navas de Tolosa, and with it Almohade rule in the Iberian Peninsula altogether.

So, Heck. CORDOBA.

 

Learn from FREAKIN HISTORY for change. You never seem to talk about it, never talk with any of us about it...

 

it's all your moveonupObamao'sleg.orgy crap.

[heckofajobbrownie]

Uh huh. I'm terrified of this Muslim Trojan Horse.

 

This nonsense has all been debunked by scholars like this one, but you would never have seen it because you only read what you want to hear.

 

You desperately want to make this man into a radical. Except that he's not. Again, what are you going to do, change your mind when presented with new information? What's the point of this?

 

 

[calfoxwc]

ROF.L !

 

YAH ! You found a liberal blogger who doesn't use his real name, whose rationalizations

 

don't hold up to the slightest scrutiny.

 

So, he quibbles about when the Cordoba mosque was built.

It doesn't MATTER

 

When it was built !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

IT WAS BUILT FOR THE REASON I REFERRED TO BEFORE. AND THAT IS THE SAME NAME,

AS THE NAME OF THE INTENDED MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO !

 

Unbelievable.

 

Heck... do you have a BigHead of bin laden on your wall or something? ROF,L. Unbelievable.....

 

ROF,L !!!

[heckofajobbrownie]

You have something special.

[heckofajobbrownie]

Here's the "liberl blogger who doesn't use his real name, whose rationalizations don't hold up to the slightest scrutiny." It's right on his page, man. Jesus.

 

His name is Carl Pyrdum. He's a grad student in Medieval History at Yale.

[calfoxwc]

And, if that's all you have, you don't.

 

Just go ahead and avoid the first two posts I made in this thread.

 

ANYBODY on this board has to admit, there's a serious point there,

 

about the dangers of the Ground Zero Mosque being built with that NAME,

 

in THAT LOCATION, by THIS IMAN.

 

Heck translation: "Dammit. I've been schooled by Cal... I thought only Steve and John could do that"

[calfoxwc]

grad student. "yawn".

 

He uses "got medieval" to write the article, if indeed it is his writing,

 

he thinks linearly.

 

His quibble about Muslim "celebrate" victory not only over Christians, but other Muslims....

 

has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

 

It is STILL A VICTORY. It makes NO FREAKING DIFFERENCE.

 

Fool. You didn't read what I posted at all. Here, knucklehead:

 

"CORDOBA" is celebrated as a huge victory by the Almohades OVER JEWS, CHRISTIANS and "BACKSLIDING MUSLIMS".

 

So, the current naming of the Ground Zero mosque is a celebration and honoring of the victories of the violent and deadly killers,

 

the fundamentalist "Muslims" over JEWS CHRISTIANS and "BACKSLIDING MUSLIMS". The celebration of mass murders of

 

JEWS, CHRISTIANS AND "BACKSLIDING MUSLIMS" is STILL MASS MURDERS.

 

I never said anything about the Almohades only killing Christians.

 

"CORDOBA". It's a hideous, dangerous word. That is the point. You found a grad student who wants to quibble over

what the defination of "is" is...

 

and you say that's a complete debunking of what I posted? Really?

 

You really are a corrupt one, Salinsky-ite. Maybe you'd do better if you found an angry kid in the second grade

to agree with you. At least that would be funnier...
