Quote the followup then.
And now that you've finally discovered that you are on the retreat from the specific event of Granada 1492, which you were harping endlessly about only moments ago, to emphasize the fact that Khaldun only lived during the Reconquista.
I don't believe I claimed that Khaldun instigated the Reconquista or ended it. My initial point was that the Reconquista was part of the intellectual world that he lived in when he lived in the 14th century. That your recognize that the end of the Reconquista comes after Khaldun's death shows that you accept the same common facts as true. Way to go, sport.
Such mistakes and backtracking as you've just done are typical of somebody who feigns knowledge as a cover for internet searches. Perhaps elsewhere you've gotten away with it, zimdog. But your shell game is exposed now.
I'll ask you a simple question: were there Moors in Iberia during Khaldun's life? Yes. Is it conceivable that some of them were 20th generation Iberians, given that the Moors first took power to the peninsula in the early 8th century. Yes.
Hopefully that will straighten you out.
Take a word of friendly advice - accept your losses and move on. Continuing this charade any further only makes you look pitiful.
I'll gladly take a word of friendly advice, but you're not my friend and you're in no position to give advice.
lcqlamar: (post 145) "I think you were when you dishonestly suggested that the Reconquista was an event that happened 20 generations and 6 centuries after the Moorish conquest."
zimdog: (post 150) "It did happen then. Granada fell to Ferdinand and Isabella's forces in 1492."
You then pointed to Khaldun to justify your claim that this was implicit in your original characterization, even though Khaldun had been dead for a century.
