What if the Taifas of Al-Andalus continue to survive and aren't eaten up by the Berbers? What would be the effect on Europe, North Africa, Spain, the Middle East, and Islam?
It's not impossible, but it's difficult. The taifas were much, much more divided and infighting than the Christian kingdoms to the north, who promptly took advantage of the former's division to expand. While there were surely some competent taifas, such as Seville and Badajoz, i doubt the situation around them would allow for enough breathing space, barring strings of very competent emirs.
