Hm nice one!And again rare work from rarely depicted period.Interresting thing is although this period is relatively poorly described in the sources that preserved,some episodes are described in great detail.

thx^^! greater details does not obligatory represent a better description of history, unfortunately history haven't been told always fairly. for example there are almost no persian sources about achaemenids, sassanid eras; anyway east roman empire was the most amazing civilization ever(in my opinion) and jerusalem've been always a magnificient city, the relations between jews and romans was kinda epic.

just for a short time, then byzantines began their reconquista, umayyads and byzantines fought also many years for territories in levant and anatolia, only under muslim rule people were a bit more pleased because they were usually more liberal than the others.

Which is what makes me very irritated when certain theatrical releases depict Romans during the Roman-Arab wars in Classical wardrobes.

Do you know that Omar Ibn Khattab was so kind that he lifted the ban from Jews entering Jerusalem by the Christian Byzantines ?

yes he was really liberal, not only him but even later islamic states gave the jews a lot of rights, they could even have high positions under fatimid calophat. Omar ibn khattab was really a good politician and leader.

True, not only that but in Al Andalus they had the most rights there, one had the title of a vizier but when the reconquista ended with both expulsion of Jews and Muslims, Ottoman fleet was sent to rescue them and after that Jews were given full protection by the ottoman empire but Jews betrayed them by rebelling against them and helping the British Invade the Ottoman Empire in WW1.

True, you see under Islamic rule everyone was happy and satisfied in Al Andalus and other Islamic Sates around the world but unfortunately today its very misunderstood.
I am curious what wrong things

the world'vechanged my brother, maybe we also need to change . i identify myself as a religious, i don't care about propagandas or haters, but it's maybe the time to think about secularism, we shouldn't consider any change a threat to our identification.
