500 year old mistake still being felt

[Emperor Napoleon]

When Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain chose to drive the Moors out rather than exterminate them outright. In a moment of weakness the price is still being paid so many years later:

YOU KNOW COMMENTS LIKE THIS ONE ONLY MAKE THE SITUATION WORSE. I DETECT A LOT OF ANTI-MUSLIM FEELING FROM PEOPLE LATELY. ISLAMICS BY AND LARGE ARE PEACEFUL. YOU NEED TO EDUCATE YOURSELVES ABOUT THE TRUE ORDER OF THINGS BEFORE MAKING BLANKET STATEMENTS. GO TO THIS WEB LINK http://www.islamworld.net/ AND FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION BEFORE MAKING BIGOTTED COMMENTS. I AM OFFENDED AT SOME OF THE ANTI-ISLAMIC COMMENTS I HAVE BEEN SEEING LATELY AND SEE IT AS ONLY CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROBLEM.

Scuse my History GL but what have the Moors got to do with this outrage??

[Emperor Napoleon]

The Moors were Muslim. This attack is yet another manifestation of Muslim inability to live in a peaceful world, "A top Basque politician, Arnold Otegi, denied the separatists were behind the blasts and blamed "Arab resistance." Many al-Qaida-linked terrorists were captured in Spain or were believed to have operated from there."

[Sean Pa]

I heard the Spanish goverment had confirmed the explosives used were the same ETA (Basque terroists) had used in previous bombing campaign.
Its being muted that this morning carnage was TOO sucessful and ETA is trying to use the Muslim scenario as a way out.
Although Spain did support the Allied action in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Fucking dangerous times we are living in

[Emperor Napoleon]

True, that we do.

How many people have to die before other governments wake up and realize that terror exists everywhere? Not just in Iraq or A-Stan but Spain, England, Germany, everywhere.

Unlike us, most foreign governments would prefer to put their collective heads in the sand and pretend Mr. Terrorist isn't going to shove a stick of dynamite up their asses.

THAT'S AN ARROGANT GENERALIZATION JUMPER. EUROPE HAS BEEN FIGHTING TERRORISM FOR DECADES. EUROPE HAS BEEN VICTIM OF TERRORIST VIOLENCE SINCE THE 1980S BECAUSE OF RONALD REAGAN. YOU SHOULD KEEP UP MORE BEFORE YOU MAKE COMMENTS.
