2022.09.12 17:50 partypastor Unreached People Group of the Week - the Moors of Spain

Banner
Happy Monday everyone! I know it has been a bit sporadic lately but I don't think I have anymore Monday morning plans or holidays coming up. Meet the Moors in Spain!

Region: Spain

An old map to show where the Moors once helped conquer in Spain
Stratus Index Ranking (Urgency): 124
Madrid
Climate: Peninsular Spain experiences three principal climatic types: semi-arid, maritime, and Mediterranean.
Teide, the highest mountain in Spain (Tenerife, Canary Islands)
Terrain: The majority of Spain's peninsular region consists of the Meseta Central, a highland plateau rimmed and dissected by mountain ranges. Other landforms include narrow coastal plains and some lowland river valleys, the most prominent of which is the Andalusian Plain in the southwest. The country can be divided into ten natural regions or subregions: the dominant Meseta Central, the Cantabrian Mountains (Cordillera Cantabrica) and the northwest region, the Ibérico region, the Pyrenees, the Penibético region in the southeast, the Andalusian Plain, the Ebro Basin, the coastal plains, the Balearic Islands, and the Canary Islands. These are commonly grouped into four types: the Meseta Central and associated mountains, other mountainous regions, lowland regions, and islands.
The Mediterranean coast of Spain
Wildlife of Spain: Spain has a diverse array of native animals, including a wide variety of fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. The country is home to some renowned species, such as the Spanish ‘Big Five’: Bearded Vulture, Spanish Imperial Eagle, Iberian Lynx, Iberian Wolf and Eurasian Brown Bear. More commonly encountered wildlife in Spain include Spanish Ibex, Cantabrian Chamois, Red and Roe Deer, and Red Squirrel. Spectacular birds seen in this region include Great Bustard, Griffon Vulture, White Stork, Montagu’s and Hen Harriers, Wallcreeper and White-winged Snowfinch.
An Iberian Wolf
Environmental Issues: Deforestation and wildfires, Air pollution – Acid rain, the destruction of the Ozone layer and the greenhouse effect are all consequences of the air pollution problem that Spain faces, Quality and quantity of water nationwide. Desertification as well as Saharan dust blowing off the west coast of Africa and over the Canary Islands (a Spanish archipelago).
Languages: Spain is a multilingual state. Spanish—featured in the 1978 Spanish Constitution as castellano ('Castilian')—has effectively been the official language of the entire country since 1931. Besides Spanish, other territorialized languages include Aragonese, Aranese, Astur-Leonese, Basque, Ceutan Arabic (Darija), Catalan, Galician, Portuguese and Tamazight, to which the Romani Caló and the sign languages may add up. The Moors may speak Arabic, particularly Hassaniyya Arabic.
Government Type: Unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy

People: The Moors in Spain

A Moor man
Population: 11,000
Estimated Foreign Workers Needed: 1+
Beliefs: The Moors are 0% Christian, which means out of their population of 11,000, there are roughly 0 people who believe in Jesus. Thats very maybe one person for all the 11,000 unbelievers.
Moors are virtually all Sunni Muslim and part of the Malikite sect. They have adopted Arab culture and speak Hassaniyya Arabic. Pre-Islamic North Africans were a matriarchal people who had female rulers and traced their lineage through women. Moors, Tuareg and Saharawi tribes on the other hand were patriarchal before the Arab conquest. The Moors acknowledge two main Islamic brotherhoods: the Qadiri and the Tajani. The Qadiri is the most widespread group and is characterized by many secret societies that are saturated with mysticism.
History: The people known as Moors today are an offshoot of the Berber people, specifically a Hijazi Arab/Tuareg mixed tribe. When Arabs conquered North Africa in the 7th and 8th centuries, one of the first Berber people to convert where the Tuareg, who at that time dwelt on the African Red Sea coast. They helped the Arabs in their spread of Islam until they reached the Atlantic. From there the Moors and other Berber tribes conquered the Iberian Peninsula, Southern France and Italy and the island of Sicily. This kingdom was known as Al Andalusia or the Moroccan Empire. The Moors constructed cobblestone streets and multi-storied buildings. They built over 15 universities in Spain, Portugal and Morocco. The Moors, Arabs and Jews were expelled from Iberia in 1492 after King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella defeated the last of the Moorish strongholds. Today there are some Moors who have crossed the Mediterranean Sea in search of work.
Granada's Calderia Nueva resembles a North African souk
Culture: Typical qualification that all people groups can't be summed up in small paragraphs and this is an over generalization.
Though Muslims are often not welcome in that Iberian nation, Moors have the added problem of being associated with those who conquered Spain in the early 700s. For this reason, there are few Moors in Spain today. They often begin in places like Spain but try to move further north to countries like Germany with stronger economies and more jobs.
For hundreds of years, North African Muslims ruled southern Spain. Now some of their descendants are contributing to a "Moorish revival" that is regenerating parts of Andalucia, says the BBC's Sylvia Smith. The sound of sweet mint tea being poured into tiny glasses, the murmur of Arabic in the background, and piles of almond cornes de gazelle, served to customers sitting on low sofas, all suggest Morocco or Tunisia.
But step outside the shop and walk a few metres downhill and you are in Granada, Spain.
This teteria, or tea shop, is just one of dozens that festoon the historic area and have come to symbolise a significant change in the culture and economics of an important part of the city.
It was the opening of a tea shop alongside the city's first neighbourhood mosque that ignited the North African renaissance in Granada, according to Said Ekhlouf from Tetouan in northern Morocco.
The transformation is eye-catching. Dozens of brightly coloured, open-fronted stalls sell all kinds of Moroccan and Tunisian handicrafts, and the only music you will hear is Arabic, interspersed with the call to prayer.
Taking advantage of low property prices, the first arrivals in the 1980s colonised the Calderia Nueva and began, unwittingly, to introduce a modern version of Islamic Andalucian culture.
Abdul Hedi Benattia, who is a Tunisian historian as well as owning a restaurant and tea shop, claims that Islam as practised in Granada is very close to the original tolerant religion that spread across North Africa and through most of the Iberian peninsula from the 7th Century until the 14th Century.
An occasional imam in the neighbourhood mosque, Abdul Hedi meets many of the thousands of European Muslims who come on holiday to enjoy not only the Alhambra, one of Spain's most famous landmarks, but the large, new mosque built in 2002 with funding from the Emirate of Sharjah.
Overlooking the Alhambra - the palace complex built by the Muslim rulers of southern Spain in the 14th Century - this impressive mosque is at the heart of the 15,000-strong Muslim community which has made Granada its home.
Twenty years ago there were a mere 2,000 Muslims in the city - and most of them were Spanish converts.
Some of the more conservative native Spaniards demonstrate an uncompromising attitude to their neighbours.
"We defeated the Moors and sent them packing a long time ago," says Dolores Ramirez, an office cleaner.
"We don't mind them being here, so long as they behave themselves. But they are not in charge. This is a Spanish town."
Not that the North Africans seem to want to be in charge. They are content to see their businesses grow and to demonstrate that the Muslim population is a steadying and unifying force.

Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. (Romans 10:1)

2021.04.22 03:35 Producer_of_tales The Monster

Hopefully this one doesn't suck. I need to learn how to write longer stuff though.
First contact went well enough.
They were social animals, like us. They communicated through sound, like us. Their vision was their prominent sense, like us. We even looked freakishly similar.
They were bipedal, like us. They lacked fur, like us. They gave live birth and fed their young with milk, like us. Even our vocal chords were remarkably similar, although we didn't develop the same languages.
Still, so many parts of their existence were like ours. While they had many fractured governments, opposed to our single government, they still chose their government officials through democracy. Even the climate of their planet was like ours. They lived on landforms similar in shape to ours.
At first, it seemed the only difference between us was our preferred method of locomotion. They moved by walking, while we hopped like "kangaroos" from the place they call Australia. The only variations from us seemed to focus around that. But, in time, we would discover
As we traded culture, we realized that we were very similar in even more ways. We called them different things, but we had books and movies with similar plots. We thought we were the only one who had come up with the concept of video games, only to be proven wrong. It was surprising, to say the least.
Even the shusus, the species most similar to us at that point, were radically different from us. They resemble slugs, are solitary, and herbivores. Their speech is difficult to describe, consisting of many ṣ and ʊ sounds. They had many unique technologies and cultural traits we hadn't seen before. We were only the closest to them because we both are carbon-based and use cells of similar structures.
Their history matched ours. We had our own library of Alexandria that got burnt. We had our own Roman empire. We had our own world wars, too.
They even had more obscure things we did. We had our own version of the Von Thunen model. In our equivalent to their United States of America, we even had our own version of the 9th president, William Henry Harrison, who died 31 days after being elected. We lived in ignorance, then.
Like them, we have logical fallacies. We assume things that may not be logical. So, when every single bit of history until a bit after the Vietnam War matched up, we just assumed it would continue that way into the present. We were surprised when that conjecture was proven false.
The first sign that something was off happened when the shusus came to visit. They weren't there to befriend the humans; they were there to see what these humans could do. They claimed it to be an important part of first contact to measure the physical strength of the humans, but we knew their slaving ways, even if we didn't have the ability to stop them. Their translators weren't synced to the languages of the humans, so they should not have understood.
Shusus speech is entirely consisted of "words" containing an ʊ sound, surrounded by different sounds the letter s can make.. Despite them not understanding, the speech set off something in all the humans present. Some of them went pale with fear and sat, staring intently at nothing. Most of them broke out into a laughing fit.
We tried to figure out why but they wouldn't tell us. We tried to figure out ourselves, but we couldn't. We needed them to tell us, but they did everything in their power to stop us. We should have never looked it up.
We hacked into their internet and looked up all we could. Humans didn't seem to have an innate ability to tell what people were talking about without translators, so that was a relief. If only we knew the truth. It all went wrong when we decided to look up words that it could have sounded like to them.
What we found was horrific. Not in the normal sense, mind you, but horrific nonetheless.
It was a monster. But it wasn't a physical one, it was so much worse. It is like a disease, but it spreads through knowledge. It infects the mind of those who know of it.
We should never have researched it. We should have never even looked it up. Now we suffer the curse humanity has been trying to contain for decades. Do not research it yourself.
Do not look up ss. We already made that mistake. Do not look up Amng Us. You will find what we have found and come to dearly regret it.
Please listen to us.
You will find things you don't want to see. Things like the man with the haunting, macabre smile. You can see images of a fictional race of "crewmates" brutally torn in half, exposed bones and all. You might even see clips of people willing subjecting themselves to a paranoia-inducing game where anyone could stab you in the back.
Do not let the humans infect you with their accursed knowledge.

2018.11.17 09:04 tabidots umbrella term for mountainous coastal topography (Hong Kong / Rio / Da Nang / etc)?

I've been staying mainly in Da Nang, Vietnam since 2017. It's a very scenic city and, as a cyclist, one of my favorite rides is along the road running along the south side of Sơn Trà peninsula (also known as Monkey Mountain). It's a slightly winding road carved into a tropical forested mountain. On the south side of the road, the peninsula drops fairly steeply down to the beaches/water below (but not like a cliff).
I've realized it's my favorite kind of landscape. It's kind of like a smaller-scale version of what you find in Hong Kong or Rio. It gives you the beauty of the beach and the challenge (well, and beauty) of the hills at the same time, and I find it very motivating and energizing. I'm trying to brainstorm a list of coastal cities—and not islands; those are easy to find—with similar topography to consider for traveling and cycling around in the future.
In my search for escape routes from the cold rainy Da Nang "winter," I came across Vung Tau a bit farther south. While not quite as topographically striking as Da Nang, it seems quite similar and I would probably like it.
Is there an umbrella term for these kinds of landforms or a common geological process behind it? "Cape" and "promontory" seem to be somewhat appropriate, though they often seem to be applied to small bits of land that basically jut out in a straight line. "Peninsula" is too broad, since, say, Michigan and Florida both are/contain peninsulas and are flat.
