The Islamic empires also spread through North Africa and later conquered Spain. The meeting of Arab and African peoples resulted in Swahili, which is both a language and a
ulture. The language itself is based in African Bantu, but it incorporates a lot of Arabic
cerms, probably because the Swahili people were Muslims and read the Qur'an. In Spain
and other parts of Europe, Muslims were called Moors. The Muslims in Spain ruled a strong
state that, some say, far exceeded the rest of Europe when it came to education,
echnological advances and philosophies. Christians and Jews were free to practice their
respective religions, as long as they paid a special tax called Jizya. The Moors were centered
n southern Spain in Andalusia. Their rule came to an end in 1492 when Christian leaders
took control of Granada.
