This volume is a reprint of newspaper reports of a series of lectures delivered by the author from the pulpit of Congregation B'nai Jehudah, Kan- sas City, Mo., during the Fall and Winter of 1885-1886.
The lectures were prepared to fulfill the re- quirements of popular discourses, and designed to convey information upon a highly important epoch of the world's history, that is almost neglected in English literature.
The thought of publishing these lectures in book form was utterly foreign to the author through- out their preparation, until an urgent solicitation from very many persons, both Jews and Gentiles, in all parts of this country, whose interest in these lectures was aroused by their wide-spread republication by the Press, made it a duty.
This was a great book. I thought that it was a different perspective that showed the relationship between the Muslims and Jews during the Golden Era of Spain; it does vilify Christianity quite a bit, but this is due to the historical events of the forced conversions, the Inquisition and the ultimate Expulsion of the Jews of Spain.
No mention that these so called Jews who were persecuted and ENSLAVED (in AFRICA), are not the same so called Jews you see today! Psalms 83:1-8 still in play!
