The reason why Muslims lost Iberia was because of the Great Berber Revolt, many Berbers were oppressed and received lesser pay, received dry and cold lands, when the Berbers revolted they abandoned their garrisons and went even back to Morocco, Algeria, this created a vacuum which the Christians filled with ease

That doesn't mean that up north things were better but yes, back then if you were not Muslim you had to pay. My ancestors in the Middle East have suffered quite a few things for being Christians. The history of minorities in the Middle East is the history of losers as Amin Ma'aloof said.

Which was the previous one?

My history community. I didn’t know what the difference was between the Muslim forms of government. Here is what I found. In the simplest form of answer, an Emirate is ruled by an Emir, a Sultanate by a Sultan and a Caliphate by a Caliph. Now for what those words mean and how they deviate from each other. A Caliphate is the Islamic Nation State, the first one being Medina under the Prophet (PBUH), following this the early Umayyad Empire is probably the closest to a Caliphate there has been since. The concept of Caliphate is kind of impossible to have these days because a Caliph is a religious and political leader that is chosen by the Umma (Islamic Community), arguably since the death of Muhammad (PBUH) there hasn’t ever been a Caliph given the early split between Sunnis and Shias. If you wanted to go down either line, both lines of succession end pretty much around 100 years after Muhammad’s death when the son of Ali, Hussein was assasinated by a rival faction of Islam. Groups like Daesh claim that they are a Caliphate but without a wide acceptance of the people that is not the case, they just use that narrative to attempt to garner political and religious favour in the Umma. An Emirate is a principality or territory ruled by an Emir. An Emir is the hereditary ruler from a line of successtion of an Islamic monarchy, so the Emirate is specifically ruled by an Islamic royal family, who percieve their rule as being the will of Allah. It can also refer to a province ruled by an Emir, as is the case in the United Arab Emirates that are Seven Emirates that work Federally. Bahrain and Qatar also count as Emirates. A Sultanate is similar to an Emir, and exists in an Islamic context but is not explicity percieved as being a God given power, but instead the Sultan is just in the position of power. There are also regional variations between Sultan and Emir with Emirs in the modern age being restricted to the Arabian Peninsula (although there have been Emirates across Asia, Europe and Africa) where as a Sultan is a title that is rarely used today but exists in several different Islamic contexts, not just an Arabian one.

Then Charlemagne died, his kingdom collapsed, and the Muslims invaded the Balearic Islands.

Its really impressive the double think abilities of some religious people to ask for their rights and freedoms to be respected as long as they dont hurt anyone,while not doing the same for others and calling the muslims who are against forced morals as "traitors", I even got called ignorant and rationed with dislikes once for saying that the support of forced islamic law through the penalization of critics of religion, gays, apostats and women who do not want to follow a specific dress code, among other examples, was not peaceful and hipocritical mainly because, like I said, they want their own freedoms and rights to be respected as muslims/religious people in general while not giving the same to others. As much as non religious "liberal" people should not force their morals on others when nobody is being hurt, neither should the religious people do it. Otherwise you get regimes like Iran and China who want to force either their religious or atheist "morals" on everyone. Those are the types of radicals I am talking about, islamists, not muslims as a whole of course. And yes some medieval muslims were more open minded in terms of religious tolerance, but even in the best cases total equal rights was not a thing and they still practiced some of the horrible acts I have mentioned, they were SOMETIMES as good as medieval people could be. If you want to help me I can give you the thread where I got rationed for saying innocents should not be stoned to death for their only "crime" being having hurt someones religious feelings, which somehow gets equalized to the level of a literal crime by these "moderate" animals.

Al monsur. He locked the true leader in a palace. He made his sons era to his position. The other leaders got rid of his kids but it started a crisis of succession again which was very common and the reason in 250 years only 4 guys really ran all of Muslim Spain. The cities like zaraguza didn't like send the money to cordoba and were always looking to be as independent as they could. This was the time it all fell apart. Al monsor and his sons not only terrorized the Christian states but was also the Muslim cities to. He had an army of North Africans to serve these needs and before he died he made sure his son took over. When the son died the army he commanded had nothing to do so they sacked Cordoba and other cities with some help from the Christian for a couple years before they went back to Africa.

Not indirectly, quite directly actually. In Spain we remember and study Almanzor since he was one of the most talented military commanders of our history, on pair with some of the best generals in golden century. However despite him being a militar genius, he was horrible at taking administrative decisions and dealing with social discontent. His brutal raids in Christian lands worked in favour of religious intolerance across the whole Iberian peninsula, making many Christians in Andalusian lands to flee and support Christian kingdoms, in same way, bringing Berbers who weren't used to the hispano Roman and then Andalusian ways, caused discontent and created issues in administrations, with lots of conflicts in villages. He also committed a huge mistake mixing rival tribes into his army units, because as long as they lacked a strong leader as he was, they would fight and cause civil war. Which is exactly what happened. And ultimately, he was so powerful that he took too much power and functions from administrative and Muslim religious institutions, meaning that after his dead, the duties were claimed by many and led to a massive lack of power, drastic Fall of tax collection and all the Caliphate collapsing
