Re: Arabs in Spain
The earliest Arabs were of black ancestry. They are mixed heritage now.
How are arabs mixed race do you mean north africans? Arabs are of the semetic race.
Re: Arabs in Spain
There is a specific reason for that. There is a village in Portugal called Fatima, named after a Muslim Princess who was given in marriage by her father to a Christian King (she converted, obviously).
In the early 1900s, 3 Portugese children claimed to have seen a vision of Bibi Mariam (ra) just outside the village.
Ever since, some Catholics have named their daughters after the village.
