Influence from the Moors in Spain

It appears to me that the influence which came to Europe from the Moors in Spain is greatly under-estimated. Without that influence no kind of renaissance had been possible. I copy to here what I wrote on the talk page to the article Bettany Hughes

I just watched "When the Moors Ruled in Europe" narrated by Bettany Hughes and I am very impressed by the program. I already knew the most essential facts the program showed, but it is very valuable to have those facts put together in a single program which is accessible to all people in the world. Look up When the Moors Ruled in Europe Bettany Hughes and you will find that the program is available for free in many places on the internet, for example here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Daz0n5l8cJE

I have seen many programs narrated by Bettany Hughes before and I think she is a very good narrator. This program about the Moors in Spain is especially valuable because it describes how the Greek ideas about dialogue as a tool for progression of knowledge, and the necessary companion, freedom of speech, the idea of democracy, with its necessary companion equality, and the development of sciences came to Europe via the Moors in Spain. These ideas are the basis for humanism, which broke the power of the Pope and slowly but surely transformed Europe into the modern world we see today.

Very little of these new ideas came from Italy, most of them came from the Moors in Spain.

The Catholic church fought against these ideas with every means possible for hundreds of years. When the idea of equality among people reached the minds of the people in France they realized that they should not accept to be treated like animals by the higher classes and the king so they started the French Revolution, which had a very big influence on world history.

A little later the idea of equality created the worker's unions, socialism, social democracy and communism. Today socialism and communism are dead words, but social democracy, a mixed system, a compromise between socialism and capitalism is in rule in most of the countries in the world. And science and technology are now free from all religious limitations.

Bettany Hughes is very important because she makes valuable science and knowledge available to people in general, which is also obvious when we hear that her programs have been watched by more than 100 million people. Very few academic authors or speakers have reached such a numerous audience. Roger491127 (talk) 17:16, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Waiting for French translation

There is an extremely well written article in the subtext of the page, if anyone has faculty with the language, please click on the provided link. In the interim, I have included sections from the relevant 2nd and 3rd medieval renaissance articles that were linked, although they are not as comprehensive as the French subtext and ultimately should be merged after translation, which I would be happy to do as well.

Note: I maintained the hidden French version of the article as paramount on the editing page. My version, not translated but rather subselected from the article links, is below it. Still need that French translation though. Please comment on my talk page if any feedback. Parsh (talk) 16:12, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
