Islamics were assansins, Al-Andalus, the spanish province conquered by the arabs was the first slave exporter. All our culture and innovations comes from the romans and the greeks, not from that moor suckersGlory to El Cid thanks to him and other brave knights Spain and Europe has been protected from them

We know that, EL CID is a muslim word, bottom line is he is a Spanish Christian, Muslims gave him the name CID ..The nickname "El Cid" comes from the Spanish article "El", which means "The" and the dialectal Arab word سيد "sïdiFor your information his real name is Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar. There were Spanish Muslims fighting alone side him.

Why are there so many dumb people commenting on this video? The US are not getting their arses whipped in Iraq. The news and media talk about it being tragic how a couple of hundred allied troops have died in the war - no disrespect, but if we only lose a couple of hundred soldiers in a war, then I say we are well and truly on top.

You are truly clueless.

El Cid was a gentleman who reconquered several cities for Christianity and all at that time were mercenaries working for the best at that time Mr and that was normal. The Muslims who called him Cid and then Christians also means nothing more than Christians as the Moors called him and I do not understand if you say that came from Africa? I say this because if you killed. Not ceases to be Christian or Spanish and have participated in the reconquest although it could sell at best.
