Threats to coexistence between Muslims and Christians in Andalusian society: historical and objective causes and contemporary implications

Abstract

The events of the Christians of Cordoba in the third century AH, which are circulated in the Christian narrative and are almost absent in Islamic sources, constituted a serious challenge to the values ​​of coexistence in Andalusian society, as they used to offend the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in public, which prompted the judicial authority to deter them by executing them in order to preserve on the inner ladder. And these events became an inspiration for Christians over the centuries to feed the Western imagination in general with stereotypes about Islamic symbols, including those abuses of the prophetic self that Western media embraced a decade and a half ago today. Hence, this study attempts to draw attention once again, in a scientific way, to those events and the paths of their dimensions, in order to clarify the correct vision of their reality and the West's ideological position on them, which may still feed on them.
