as-salaamu 'alaikum Thabet. I noticed this post... its an excellent choice. It also may prove important to explain a bit about this very complex period of history. Most of us Muslims, Christians, Jews, humanity in general are unaware of the complexities that developed between Europe, France, the Mamluks and the Ottomans.

It is a very important piece of history that shaped much of what we understand concerning modern Spanish authority and also but more particularly the history of Egypt.
