>In his youth his loves seem to have been entirely homosexual. He was known to have openly kept a male harem. This exclusivity was a problem, since it was essential to produce an heir. A resolution was reached by his taking a concubine, Subh, who adopted the physical appearance of a ghulam or young man - having a short haircut and wearing trousers. Al-Hakam supposedly gave her the male name of Ja'far. The approach worked and Al-Hakam fathered a son, Hisham, by Subh.
Why were Al-Andalus Caliphs way less religious than rest of the islamic empires ?

They were sort of on their own. But that stuff didn't last. After the Berber revolts there was a big shift from "liberalism" to religious fanaticism.
It's kind of interesting to think that at some point the Arabs were not the most spaztic kids on the playground.

Immensely. Especially when they became their own Emirate. These are exclusively the royals, though. The actual Cordoban Muslims were important to establishing the history. If Tariq bin Ziyad found out if this is what setting sail to conquer Gibraltar would be come, he'd literally cuck every single Emirati.

What makes you think they were any more debauched than the many other caliphs and sultan's throughout history who were whoring, irreverent drunkards? Most times these titles were a birthright or taken by force. When even more scrutinized institutions like monks, bishops, and popes could have libertines, it's hardly surprising.

All what you must know about Al-Andalus is that one slav guy captured somewhere at russian lands been captured, then arabs in Bagdad make from he mamluk, sold to Spain and then he create there his own country.

fun fact, Oman just has had the same problem. What do when your Sultan is gay?

Irreligiousness in the medieval Muslim world wasn't exclusive to Al-Andalus, though.
