The Muslim Umayyads’ conquest of Visigoth Kingdom in Iberia Peninsula not only extended the caliphate rule to the western-most continental Europe but also ushered into an era in which cultural exchanges and inter-religious cooperation and coexistence resulted in the al-Andalus Islamic Golden Age. Though without strives, discords, and even ethnic and religious persecutions specially at the end of Muslim rule, the ideology of La Conviviencia (coexistence) nonetheless provides a model for inter-religious and cultural dialogues for the later generations. Yet the reality showed that the utopian ethnic pluralism and religious tolerance were not free from unbroken harmony and equal justices. The perceived way of living where all people live in amity, respecting differences while honoring commonalities, was badly shaken by the opposition forces of violence and mistrust. During the so-called Spanish Andalusian Islamic Golden Age, persecution, forced conversion and pogroms did take place. Societal polarization, hostility, and animosity may be the true undercurrent of this period. This study tries to explore the reality of La Convivencia from 8th to 11th century in Andalusia in order to depict a true picture.
