I'm not going to continue engaging with you if you're going to hurl personal insults every time you're confronted with facts that disagree with your assertions.And that depopulated land became the economic center of Spain for 700 years.Mid size towns and small towns were more numerous in the christian kingdoms than in the south.Again I don't know why you keep ignoring this point time and time and time again.Cordoba might have had 300k people in the X century but how is that even relevant for discussing overall population density in the XI century? You are making less sense every single post. As I told you when the Castillian king conquered the south he found 3 big cities and a bunch of empty land who he had to split in huge states and set tones of colonies for it to be viable.Even Charles the III in the XVIII had to bring German and Flemish colonists to repopulate some regions of Andalucia.
You're arguing from a completely different period in Iberian history and trying to apply it anachronistically to the totality of al-Andalus. In fact, towards the end - post-Almohads - there were imams out there issuing fatwas calling on the Muslim faithful to leave al-Andalus. The demographics of the Emirate of Granada in the 15th century are not the same thing as the demographics of the Caliphate of Cordoba in the 10th.
