    Ironic that Jews had to find sanctuary from anti-semitism by Christians by fleeing to a Muslim territory - and not for the first, or last time...
    They also fled from muslim to Christian territory (after the Almoravid invasion, IIUC, for ex) and from muslim to muslim territory, and from Christian to Christian territory.

          Red Terror as an attempt to eliminate all witnesses of such 'wig mishaps'...?

                  Oh man, how could I forget...

                  The Carnation Revolution in Portugal, April 1974. I even donated to the Portuguese Socialist Party later that year.

                      Okay then... Here is a difficult one. Although the guy in question is probably a historic person, the things we know about him are probably less so...

                            a) yes

                            b) No, the man in question is 11th century, the picture of him is from the 19th century.
