Al-Qaeda wins big in Spain
Garner Ted Armstrong & Century WATCH Vol. 7, No. 1 - 21st 2004 ^ | 2004 | by Michael Burkert

"Few people realize the significance of the March 11, 2004 terrorist attacks in Spain. There are those in our country, particularly in the leftist news media that erroneously believe that the Al-Qaeda attacks are a result of the Spanish government's support for the war against terrorists. Others are deluded into thinking that the attacks were carried out because a small Spanish Army unit is currently in Iraq carrying out humanitarian duties.

The attacks happened for an entirely different reason. That reason is simple. Spain is a former Islamic country. That's correct. From 718 AD until 1492, the Iberian Peninsula was a part of the Islamic Empire. Over seven hundred years of Islamic rule was finally defeated by Spanish forces under the leadership of King Ferdinand of Aragon, and Queen Isabella. Muslim armies left the Iberian Peninsula with their tails tucked in tight! They were soundly defeated in BA'TT'LE, and forced out of Spain and Portugal. The Islamics have never forgotten the humiliating defeat they suffered at the hands of nominal CHRISTIAN armies. March 11, 2004 began the payback process."

If one wishes to understand the threat of Al Qaeda, one must mark the days of Islams defeats to the West. Each major battle becomes a day of reconning, a day to turn defeat into victory. This is how they think.

And the reason for 9/11....it was the high watermark of Muslim expansion into Europe.

The Muzzies consider any land they ever held (even for a day) as Muslim land forever. It even includes much of Poland.

"Over seven hundred years of Islamic rule was finally defeated by Spanish forces under the leadership of King Ferdinand of Aragon, and Queen Isabella."

May I call the Catholic Church and submit these two names for super-sainthood status?

It does seem silly to fret over the future of Europe while we allow America to the taken over by Mexico.

Spain used to be the world's mightiest superpower if you can imagine that. The best Spaniards left long ago.

BW2221-Please tell us when "much of Poland" was in Muslim hands.And please tell us when.I am very curious about these events in European history.

The closest I could find were the Ottoman Empires incursions into the southern holdings of the then large Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

See the map here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire

These areas of incursion do not comprise of ANY of modern day Poland,let alone "Much of Poland"
The map is of the height of Ottoman power.The very year the Polish king routed them at Vienna and prompted their decline.

Perhaps you're thinking of the Mongol wedge as far west as Poland and Germany?But they couldn't stay more than a year,and were far from being an Islamic army.(in fact there were more Christians)


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongols#Ethnic.2C_cultural_and_religious_diversity

Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Poland
(short version: no mention of Poland ever being conquered by an Islamic army)

Please explain.

My guess is that nominal means "in name only".I wouldn't call much of their actual behavior compliant with Buddhist
or Christian ideas.

'Moops' does have a ring to it,maybe we can use it as a new term for Islamo-fascists,we don't have to admit it comes from the Bubble-Boy episode.We could say it stands for
'Moslem Oppressers'
