My post was as non-specific in dates as yours. Mine was about Islamic tactics in consolodating rule. Jews were given prestigious positions among Dhimmi in the Omayyid Dynasty, which ended in 1039. The Golden Age ended with the Granada Massacre of 1066. The Almoravides were harsh and the Almohades (al-Muwahhidun) were fundamentalists who persecuted Christians and Jews.
Yah, exactly. I think most are using a wikipedia knowledge base and “the conventional wisdom” on this one which is distorted beyond belief by religion, nationalism, and politics, in my opinion.
I like your comment about immanitizing the eschaton!
