A controversial topic I would like to bring forth

So, in Tomé Pires's Suma Oriental (linked a google drive pdf file for you guys to check out, its a fine contemporary source), Alauddin Husain Shah is actually referred to as a Moorish warrior king (pg. 210 on the google drive pdf file). Now, of course this doesn't mean that the Shah was from Africa. We see that "Bengalee", "Moor", and "Abyssinian" are used interchangeably. In fact, it seems that Pires refers to anyone remotely dark-skinned as Moors, hinted by how he refers to other races that are definitely not Moorish as Moors. Pires wouldn't just call Husain Shah a "Moorish" warrior king for no reason, there had to be a reason for this. Maybe Husain Shah was Bengali native? Who knows?
