I am sure the church is filled with sensitive Islamic worshipers, with wounded hearts upon seeing the statue.
Yes Yes it is much better in the museum where everyone can see it.

"A statue in a Spanish cathedral showing St James slicing the heads off Moorish invaders is to be removed to avoid causing offence to Muslims."
OOOOOoooo, if we offend them, they might kill us twice, instead of just once.

I was unable to find a picture of the exact statue mentioned in the story, but Spain has many statues of St. James the Moor Slayer. It will take some time for the PC crowd to white wash this.

I don't know how these things work in the RC Church, but couldn't a conservative parish or diocese over here in the states buy the statue? I'd think it'd be great for any RC parish named after St. James...

If they had any sense, they'd leave it there as a warning to the islamofascists.

Have the Spanish caught the French sickness or what!? Not to single just this one nation out, but in their particular case, they don't realize how blessed they were that Generalissimo Franco defeated the murdering Communist scourge in the 1930's and then successfully kept them out of World War II.
He protected Spain and kept it safe from corrupting influences - but after his death was there gratitude - no, none at all.
The jews also do not sufficiently appreciate Gen. Franco for saving more jews in World War II than any other nation or entity except the Roman Catholic Church - which saved over 860,000, the number credited to the Church by Golda Meir and other jewish leaders of that era - before the opportunistic revisionism of the current years began.
