Berber Revolt
The Spanish, Portuguese and Catalan words "muladí", "muladi" or "muladita" are derived from the Arabic "muwallad". The basic meaning of "muwallad" is a person of mixed ancestry, especially a descendant of one Arab and one non-Arab parent, who grew up under the influence of an Arabic society and were educated within the Islamic culture. "Muladi" is the Spanish form of the term "muwalladun", referring to Arabic-speaking Muslims of Hispanic origin who showed the same behaviour patterns as rebels of Arab and Berber origin who had previously rebelled against Arab rule, for example in The Great Berber Revolt of 739/740–743 AD.
