For nearly 800 years, the Moors ruled Spain from its southern stronghold, al-Andalus, marking a period of enlightenment and relative tolerance while the rest of Europe thrashed about in the Dark Ages.

By 1492, the Spaniards had completed the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula, forcing Muslims to convert, persecuting them and finally driving them back to where they came from.

No bias in this Islamophilic-Europhobic article.

In a way this article sheds some light on today's election in Spain.
