lol if you're referring to The Crusades.

Jihad vs Crusades

I was taught in a 400 level course on the Crusades that there was a Golden Age of Islam (700 years occupational government), where Portugal, Spain and France prospered under the government of Islam for 700 years and allowed freedom of religious practices. Jews, Christians, Muslims practicing in the same city peacefully respecting each other. Everyone held hands.

They said that Spain initiated the crusades unfairly against a peaceful and benevolent government under, that government being that of Golden Age Islam. A regime which was "very tolerant", the "most tolerant" government that Europe had ever seen, in fact.

We were taught this verbatim. Something to consider there are two sides to every story. You link a youtube video, but what University does this Dr. teach at? What are his credentials?

Don't believe everything you see from some white guy.
