it wasn't that impressive. its mostly muslim propaganda about how islam used to be so civilized, cultured, and progressive compared to christianity.
Muslims claim Cordoba had 500,000 population at its peak with no proofs. They were also a minority in spain. they were ruling elite and didn't want iberians to convert to islam because it was more profitable for them to just pay the jizya tax. also, they would frequently raid christian territories and enslave christians.
also, during the islamic conquest of north africa, muslims fucked up the local agriculture by bringing in alot of goats and overgrazing the land.
