You were talking about Islam and Muslims - then referred to them as a race. No? |
Yes, and there is a reason for the missing records.
Europe was in peril, fires occured, things were ransacked and lost. Why was Europe in peril though? The fall of christianity at the time. |

Dark Ages (historiography)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For other uses, see Dark Ages. Petrarch, who conceived the idea of a European "Dark Age". From Cycle of Famous Men and Women, Andrea di Bartolo di Bargilla, c. 1450 The Dark Ages is a historical periodization used originally for the Middle Ages, which emphasizes the cultural and economic deterioration that supposedly occurred in Western Europe following the decline of the Roman Empire.[1][2] The label employs traditional light-versus-darkness imagery to contrast the "darkness" of the period with earlier and later periods of "light".[3] The period is characterized by a relative scarcity of historical and other written records at least for some areas of Europe, rendering it obscure to historians. The term "Dark Age" derives from the Latin saeculum obscurum, originally applied by Caesar Baronius in 1602 to a tumultuous period in the 10th and 11th centuries.[4] mystery solved. google is an amazing new invention |
