If that's not enough, then I think your question needs to be more specific.


I think the question reads fine.

Who invaded Spain in the 8th century?


It seems cut and dry to me. I guess you could make an argument that the "who" can be a vague request but that seems trifling. However, your answer is not the correct one no matter how the question could potentially be interpreted.

I think the question reads fine.

And I think my answer to it is fine.

the Moors invaded Spain (then known as Iberia) in the early 8th century.

That also seems cut and dry to me. Do you dispute this fact, or do you dispute that it satisfies your request for "who?"

Do you dispute this fact


Yea, I would say this. Seeing as how you are giving an incorrect answer. 8)

2+2 = 4 would also be an incorrect answer, but you wouldn't dispute the fact that 2+2 = 4. Or would you?

Or would you?


I suppose I could but I won't.

I am quite suprised that no one knows the correct answer, or just does not care. Or perhaps you do know the correct answer but are witholding it for your pleasure?

Tangiers (Saracens), Arabs (Muslims) who the f&*(cares. If anything... everyone and anyone that was in europe decided to invade spain in the 8th century cause it was cool. Just like jeans and mistresses and MJ after he's dead.

Wait between those two i've committed some kind of non PC failure...
