Egyptian Muslim Protesters Demand End to Spanish Occupation of Spain

Hundreds of Egyptians demonstrated on Wednesday Jan. 2 in Safenex Square in Cairo to commemorate the 521st anniversary of the fall of Granada.

The demonstration was called by The Free Movement (Harakat Ahrar).

The protesters organized a human chain around the square and held signs that said: “Obligatory return”,”We have not forgotten Al Andalus” and “Of course we will return” …

And they really mean it.

Demonstrator: As we speak, in Islamic Andalusia, in Spain, they are marching to celebrate the fall of the Islamic state of Andalusia, or Spain. While they are celebrating, we here are upset, because the Muslims used to rule in those European countries.

Over there, they are celebrating the fact that they killed Muslims and drove out the Muslims rulers, who ruled them with justice.

By “justice”, they mean “oppression under the code of Islam.”

Actually they have a better claim to Spain. They built palaces (Alhambra), great mosques (Cordoba, Sevilla - only the minaret remains-), citadels (Generalife)... They taught the Spaniards to irrigate their fields with canals from the rivers, promoted science and arts... All of that is documented. I’m not saying that they should get Spain back, but their claim to it is far far stronger than their claim to Israel!

And Egypt!

(Why do you think the Egyptians speak Arabic rather than Egyptian?)

You’d think Spanish people would be more sympathetic to Israel.

You're kidding, right? They expelled the Jews from Spain in 1492 - at least the ones who weren't buchered by the Spanish. Many atrocities against the Jewish by Spaniards. Muslims in Turkey were friendlier to the Jews than the Spanish, who had many forcibly converted to Christianity on pain of death.

“Another crusade is exactly what the West needs, only this time nothing of Islam should be left standing...and those who supported it!”

There, fixed it!

“You’d think Spanish people would be more sympathetic to Israel.”

We have that same problem with many Jewish voters, here!
