This basically explains the rise and fall of the middle east over the past 1300 years

first he talks about mahomet, islam's prophet,saying he was white, and even a red headed man
but he is widely known as very dark
al jahiz, in his book "the superiority of blacks over whites" (whites in the middle east at that time means brown skinned mongrels) says that:
The ten sons of Abd el Mottalib the grandfather of Mohammed were all black and strong.
The Amir ibn al Tufayl said that the Kaba was well guarded when he saw them on black
camels going around the Kaba. Ibn Abbas was black and very tall. Those of Abu Talib's
family , who are the most noble of men, are more or less black.

the accepted translation of his physical description is that he had a big mouth, hair that was not curly or straight, and bluish skin:
from Margoliouth, "mohammed and the rise of islam"
so he was not white
more likely very close to black
anyways white at that time meant brown skinned mongrel
i didn't find anything about ali having blond hair
but he was described as having white hair, like all old people
ali was described as black:
‘Ali b. Abi Talib (d. 661) was the first-cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet. Many claim that it was he, not Zayd, who was the first male convert to Islam after Prophet Muhammad. Whether the first or the second convert, these two both preceded Bilal. And like Zayd, Ali was intensely black, ādam shadīd al-udma. [7] He too is described with precisely the same complexion as Bilal. ‘Alī’s own son, Abu Ja’far Muhammad, according to Ibn Sa’d (d. 845), described ‘Alī thusly: “He was a black-skinned man with big, heavy eyes, pot-bellied, bald, and kind of short.â€[8] ‘Alī’s descendents, the sharifs/sayyids, were similarly described as black-skinned.[9] Zayd and Ali were thus ‘Black Muslims’ before Bilal.

then he talks about the moors
yes some of them had blue eyes, and relatively fair skin
but as i showed, it was because some of them were born to white european enslaved women
he says
:
Of Roman origin and blond, Byzantine lineage,
needless to say, bizantines and romans are not arabs
"Most of the caliphs were fair or ginger-haired with blue eyes, which seems to show a preponderance of Berber or Germanic blood.
no, a predominance of white european blood, because they were born to white european enslaved women
some of them dyed their hair black, as if to affirm their Arab descent.
this proves that arabs had black hair, and it also proves what i said ealier, arabs didn't like very black skinned people because they were viewed as too primitive, but they didn't like people with really white skin and fair complexion because it was viewed as inferior too (for cultural reasons: europeans were less advanced than arabs back then)
another example:
The son of a Navarrese princess, this greatest of Cordoban rulers was a short, blue-eyed Muslim who dyed his red hair black to match that of most of his subjects. In 929 he took the step of raising his dominion from an emirate, or kingdom, to a caliphate, or empire
he was not only the son of a navarese princess as i showed, but also the grandson of another european woman on his father side
so he was 3/4 white european, 1/4 black/mixed
i'm not going to mention all the examples but another one:
His skin was too pale however, and, according to Arab historians, he increased his grave and majestic appearance by growing a beard which he dyed very black.
arabs hated real whites as much as real blacks
then the end of the article talks about ottoman sultans: ottomans, or turks, are not arabs
they were probably originally white and mogrelised by islam
they even mention an ottoman sultan born to a greek christian woman and an ottoman father
one thing they never mention though, is how many black sultans existed
i showed it
and i showed how polygamy was used to mix races
therefore it is not surprising to learn that in the ruling class of muslim countries, there were some whitish looking guys and some blacks
that was the point of polygamy:
Napoleon argued that “Asia and Africa are inhabited by men of many colors: polygamy is the only efficient means of mixing them so that whites do not persecute the blacks, or blacks the whites. Polygamy has them born from the same mother or the same father; the black and the white, since they are brothers, sit together at the same table and see each other. Hence in the Orient no color pretends to be superior to another. But, to accomplish this, Muhammad thought that four wives were sufficient.... When we will wish, in our colonies, to give liberty to the blacks and to destroy color prejudice, the legislator will authorize polygamy.â€
