	Moorish art and architecture. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The apogee of Moorish architecture was reached in the 13th and 14th cent.
		In these centuries when Spain wrested itself from Moorish domination, the Christians nevertheless showed their admiration of the great Islamic edifices and decoration in their development of Mudéjar art, work made by and for Christians in the Moorish style.
		An example is the 14-century alcazar of Seville, whose flat, intricately carved surfaces are typical of Moorish façades.

	Moorish Science Temple of America
		Moorish Science was established in 1913 by a man who was born with the name Timothy Drew.
		Drew taught that Morocco was the promised land of the Bible and the Koran, symbolizing a state of illuminated consciousness that was obtained through a hodge-podge of occultist and eastern mystical practices.
		Although Moorish Science continues today, in the form of various splinter groups each claiming the true succession of the Moorish ideal, the Temple was largely obscured by the rise of the Nation of Islam, which had sprung directly from one of the splinters.

	Moorish Castle
		The Moorish occupation is, by far, the longest in Gibraltar's recorded history, having lasted from 711 to 1309 and then from 1350 to 1462, a total of 710 years.
		The Moorish conquest of Spain was led by Tarik ibn Ziyad and Musa ibn Nasayr.
		The Gibraltar Heritage Trust is now faced with the daunting challenge of protecting them for posterity by making good the ravages of time and neglect of man, and restoring them faithfully to their original style and design and with the same materials that were used at the time.

	Moorish Influence At Home in the City - December 15, 2006 - The New York Sun
		First, the Ashkenazic Jews of Germany were responsible for the vogue of the Moorish style of the Sephardic Jews of Spain.
		Yet the Moorish style recalled what for many Jews was a golden age, the Caliphate of Córdoba, when Muslims, Jews, and Christians more or less peaceably coexisted in the socially and culturally most advanced society in medieval Europe.
		Moorish synagogues flourished in New York: Eldridge Street Synagogue (1886—87) and Park East Synagogue (1890) on East 67th Street are two notable examples.

	History & Catechism of the Moorish Orthodox Church of America
		In Chicago Noble Drew issued many Moorish Passports, and it is said that some new converts, in the zeal of their newfound nationality, began to grow less and less subservient in their dealings with the oppressor empire ("Pharoah" or "Babylon").
		After this, the Moorish Science Temple began to split into sects or factions, one headed by Noble Drew's chauffeur, another by Elijah Muhammed, who his his Moorish Science origins and taught a pseudo-science of race hatred disguised as the "Nation of Islam." Until Elijah's death, many Moors expected him to recant.
		The Moorish Hierarchy is self appointed; anyone is free to print Passports, although the old Manhattan Lodge possesses certain seals and procedures which converts may appreciate.

	Moorish Science Temple of America
		In Chicago in 1929, internal rivalry led to the death of one of Ali’s rivals.
		The main theme of the Moorish Science Temple was that African Americans needed to discover their national origin in order to experience liberation.
		He did that by claiming that Americans of African descent were Asiatic, or Moorish, in heritage, and that in his role as the final Muslim prophet “in these days” he was to establish a community based on the five principles of love, truth, peace, freedom and justice.

	Choosing a Moorish Idol
		Moorish idols won't live long in captivity, usually no more than a couple of years when kept by even the most experienced of saltwater fish keepers, but their beauty and grace makes them an almost irresistible addition to a healthy reef tank or tropical marine aquarium.
		Moorish idols are highly sensitive to water quality and will easily get sick if conditions aren't perfect or if they fluctuate in the extreme ranges.
		Moorish idols prefer temperatures of between 78 and 84 degrees Fahrenheit, a pH of between 8.2 to 8.6 and SG of about 1.020 to 1.023.

	Newspaper Article: Moorish Dagger is Battle Trophy
		When the Moorish countries of Northern Africa were the legalized pirates of the Mediterranean it was Thomas Jefferson who decided that America should no longer pay tribute to them.
		That Moorish city, at that time, was well walled, protected by judiciously constructed batteries mounting 115 pieces of heavy cannon, and defended by 25,000 Arabs and Turks.
		Besides, the harbor was encircled by 19 Moorish gunboats, two gallies, two schooners of eight guns each and a brig carrying 10 guns, forming a strong line of defense at secured moorings and extending more than two miles in length.

	Owen Jones and Moorish Design in the Victorian Era
		Moorish design lacks only, he asserts, symbolism (due to religious prohibition), which it then often makes up for with its inscriptions celebrating God, King, and the power of the buildings themselves (Jones 66).
		These principles guided Moorish design, Jones asserts, because they are rules one can find in nature; leaves display symmetry around a central stem and the differing colors of each part of the face help one distinguish its form (Jones 69, 71).
		Despite Jones' elevation of this style as an expression of faith, however, Moorish design more commonly held "pleasurable and often erotic associations" for the Victorian public in the 1850s and '60s and "this quality of association...limited the context within which an Eastern style was appropriate" (Hackford).

	Food in the Iberian Peninsula-Moorish heritage
		Moorish influence is particularly important in areas in which Moors and/or Moriscos remained longer, that is, in the southern and eastern regions (Alentejo, Algarve, Andalusia, Aragón, Extremadura, Murcia and Valencia) especially in rural areas.
		Moorish cuisine was shaped by the combination of Andalusian, Persian and Maghribian ingredients, and had a selection of basic foodstuffs, condiments, and cooking processes.
		A third way was the result of years of interaction between Moorish and Chistian communities in those cities where, after the Christian conquest, Muslims (Mudéjares) had been set in ghettos inside or outside the urban walls.

	Othello's Children in the "New World": Moorish History and Identity In The African American Experience
		The "Canaanite Temple" and the subsequent "Moorish Holy Temple of Science" and finally "Moorish Science Temple of America," were all based upon the teachings of a man named Timothy Drew.
		Consequently, they all represent elements of what I collectively refer to as "the Moorish Science Temple movement." But most importantly, the Moorish Science Temple of America's establishment and growth during the early 1920's, represented one of the few institutions where so-called "Negroes" could come freely and learn something of their pre-"Negro" history and significance.
		The foundations of the Moorish Science Temple's theology can be found in such traditions as that of Sufism and Maraboutism, both of which are part of the Islamic faith.

		It is believed that this procedure of elevating the movement to the Moorish Science Temple of America, Inc. from the Canaanite Temple in phases was to prepare the people for this great "new thought" movement; entirely different from the churches they has been used to.
