In feudal Europe, Christianity and Islam were two of the major religions that competed for influence and power. Christianity was the dominant religion in Europe during the Middle Ages, and it was the official religion of most of the feudal states. Islam, on the other hand, was a minority religion in Europe during this period, and it was largely confined to the Iberian Peninsula and parts of the Mediterranean. Despite this, Islamic culture and ideas had a significant influence on the development of European culture and society. Islamic scholars and merchants brought new ideas and technologies to Europe, and Islamic art and architecture had a major impact on the development of European art and architecture. In addition, Islamic law and philosophy had a major influence on the development of European law and philosophy.
