Did the fall of al-Andalus reshape Europe forever?

From Spain to Sicily, Muslims helped shape Europe for centuries. Why do they still seem to be cast as outsiders? In this episode of Deja Vu, author Tariq Ali traces the rise of al-Andalus to its fall amid the burning of books and the loss of a shared past. How does that history still shape Europe’s politics today?
