Moors demand Spain to apologize after 400 years.

Moors demand Spain to apologize after 400 years.

It was the start of one of the earliest and most brutal episodes of ethnic cleansing in Europe, so Spain is, understandably perhaps, a little reluctant to mark the occasion.

Four hundred years ago today King Philip III signed an order to expel 300,000 Moriscos - or part-Muslims - who had converted from Islam to Christianity

Some Muslim writers and Spanish and Moroccan campaigners believe that Madrid should apologise for the wrongs committed during the 17th century.

The defeat of the Moors in 1492 and the expulsion of the Moriscos from 17th-century Spain has become a politically sensitive subject, with Osama bin Laden referring to it in repeated calls for the restoration of al-Andalus, the former Muslim kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula

Wow, such pieces of shit they are to demand something like that from their host country. It's like a bully demanding his victim to apologize for striking back in self defense.

This is like the Dutch demanding a Spanish apology for the occupation in the 16th century, or the Americans demanding an apology from the British for resisting in the American Revolutionary War. Actually, the abovementioned should be more realistic as they are far more recent.

This shouldn't be surprising. Islam is the religion of bully-crybabies. They demand apologies for things they themselves have done and continue to do. Ever the bully and ever the whiners.

Every time they do something like this, they increase the hatred of their religion. They show data that Islam is the fastest growing religion today, but I wonder if there is any data on the Muslim haters they create by their own actions. Actions like this convert the fence sitters who mostly have no opinion.

Only one period, during just one century!?! Perhaps the Moors would be so kind as to apologise for the seven centuries of war, death, rape and murder in their quest for the Spanish and Portuguese lands?

I did see this comment made by Zanab Farah (biased? Nah!)... "Readers of history will know that while the moors conquered Spain, they enforced their religion or ways on no one. During that period Europe was in the dark ages. The Moors brought civilisation and knowledge when there was none in Europe"

What tosh! To think that Europeans have the Muslim world to thank for "enlightening" us when we knew the secrets and knowledge of the ancient classical world already, is appalling in both its accepted validity and its blatant inconsistency with the truth.

That's funny: when someone else does that - brings knowledge and civilization (along with an occupying force) to uncivilized cesspools of the world - it's a horrible offence against humanity, and we're supposed to be still in eternal debt for doing that.

And why always apologies? Sure we can do better than that, if they're not satisfied with the outcome of history: We can occupy and colonize Morocco for a few centuries, and make it a giant extraction camp for expelled aliens and future refugees. And we can send all the whiggers who will probably appreciate being "Africans on African soil" (and the cheap drugs).

Then, after a few centuries they can do whatever they want with the population.

Fine.Give Spain to the North Africans. As far as I'm concerned, they belong together anyway, with the possible exception of the Galicians and Basques of Northern Spain.I understand the Galicians to be a Celtic people, so maybe Westminster should administer that territory.

And who is asking us for forgiveness?

Dude, why are you reviving threads from 10 years ago?
