Except that the Reconquista lasted from 718 to 1492 - a characteristic that is inherently implicit in the term.

Which would mean something if we could reasonably expect ibn Khaldun to have lived 774 years. Or, by your logic, your writing is not contemporaneous with the Space Age, since you likely were not writing at the time of Sputnik.

've already established numerous instances of you lying, so your indulgence with its psychological fellow travellers was to be expected.

Only when you change the meaning of "lying", Clinton.

That's some mighty strange logic you follow.

The fact remains that you made a general reference to the entire Spanish Reconquista of 718-1492 in the context of a muslim historian. Yet the moment I responded to false statements in your Reconquista reference, you began insisting that you were only referring by way of that same muslim historian to a single final battle in the last and smallest moorish province almost a century AFTER he died.

I was waiting for the moment when you would try to justify Granada ca. 1492 on the dates of Khaldun, whose name you know in passing but whose own timeline you do not. You met my expectations.

So congratulations. You've just inadvertently affirmed that you don't have even the slightest clue what you've been babbling about.
