Hamas demands return of Seville in internet children's magazine

The children's website Al Fateh, property of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, demands in its most recent issue the return of the Spanish city of Seville to the "lost paradise" of Al Andalus, as the Muslim part of Spain was called during its existence between 711 and 1492. The web magazine, whose name means "conqueror," says it is for "the young builders of the future."
The web magazine, whose name means "conqueror," includes an article in which the city of Seville itself is the narrator, saying, "I beg you, my loved ones, to call me to return along with the other cities of the lost paradise to Muslim hands so that happiness may reign in my lands. Dress me, for I am the bride of the land of Al Andalus."
"I was once the capital of the Kingdom of Seville, connected to the Atlantic by the Guadalquivir River. I wear around my neck the scarf of the most beautiful river, more than the Euphrates, the Tigris, and the Nile, where gondolas and fishing boats navigate for 24 miles, under the trees with the singing of the birds," the article says.
The Al Fateh website says it is for "the young builders of the future." It contains, along with typical children's content like drawings, poetry, and stories, a great deal of references to resistence and martyrdom. Its main subjects are Palestine and the Arab and Muslim worlds, especially their religious aspect. The lives and deaths of the Palestinian "martyrs," many of them suicide bombers, are a constant theme, as well as descriptions of important cities in Muslim history.
This particular article tells the story of Asbilia, the Arabic name for Seville, in language understandable to the smallest children. It explains that the city "was the capital of the Kingdom of Seville." The history of the city begins, according to Al Fateh, with the Muslim conquest. The story ends when Seville was reconquered by King Fernando III, and concludes, "So the golden age of the Muslims who lost me ended, but the marks of their civilization remain."
"The lost paradise of Al Andalus," explicitly mentioned in the text, is a common meme in the Muslim world. It has led to concrete fatwas declared in order to recover territories conquered by Christian "infidels," such as that of three years ago by the Islamist sheik Yousef Al-Qaradhawi, which explicitly says that "Islam will return to Europe as the conqueror." Al-Qaradhawi is the leader of the European Council for Fatwa and Research, the president of the International Association of Muslim Scholars, and the spiritual leader of many other Islamist organizations around the world.

OK, now that I have read the comic book version, I can't help but let curiosity lead me to learn reality. when was Seville founded? I suspect by the Romans, when Spain was known as Iberia.
Although I have been to Spain many times and have dug through a lot of its history, this fact escapes me.

For centuries analysts and chroniclers gave the honour of tracing Seville's limits to that most popular of mythical heroes, Hercules.He marked with 6 columns the spot where Julius Caesar would later found the city of Seville. The illustrious Roman general called the new city Iulia Romula Hispalis: Iulia after himself, Romula in honour of Rome and Hispalis, according to Saint Isidore in his Etymologies, because many of the buildings had wooden piles driven into the ground as foundations. Subsequent historical researches into the founding of Seville have to this day been unable to correct this popular belief in Seville´s mythical origins to such an extent that it is celebrated in a popular verse: Just as I suspected, the classic retards of the Levant are smoking funny stuff again!

Doesn't even matter if it "was" there, everything belongs to this "master race". There are some Imam on the internet who claim that Allah put all of these riches in America for "them".
It is a horrible political system, one that rivals Marxism and Nazism. The religion is just a cover. It is a form of government. Slaves seized in jihad must be taken to an "Islamic territory" to be divided up. The left mocked the flyover states in 2004 by labelling that part of the US/Election Map "Jesusland". Jesus knows no borders. Muslims do.

All observant Muslims have to turn to it 5 times a day for prayer. Hard to do when it's circling the earth every 90 minutes.

Very interesting. I knew that Julius Caesar had founded Seville, but not the Hercules bit.
And even when Seville was taken over by the Moors, it most assuredly was not ruled by the ancestors of present day Palestinians.

It translates to: "The number sixty-seven."

Sixty seven or seventy six? Is that from the arabic? It's a strange sign.

The Islamikazes smell weakness. They know that many Westerners would rather give them other people`s lands and possessions (ie Israel) rather than confront them and fight them. They know that now is the time to make demands. And when enough weak-kneed Western fools achieve power and start giving them what they want, the Islamikazes will discover new things that they have a "right" to.
All it will take is one ineffectual crowd-pleaser to bring ruin on us all. We`re only one Jimmy Carter away from disaster.

And apologize for Mohammad beheading and taking slaves of the jews.

Dear Hamastinians,
We have read your latest demand (well, you heathens are always demanding some damn thing or another, so what else is new?). We must regretfully inform you that once again your demands cannot and will not be met by anyone with a remote connection to civilization, decency and common sense. Therefore, we would like to suggest that you take all of your demands, including this new one for Seville, place them where the sun don't shine, and rotate like a spinning top.
In other words, demand this, you allahu fubarheads:

If you look at the demographic trends in Europe, all the arabs have to do to reclaim Seville is wait a generation. The city will be empty, except for nonogenarians.

It says 67
Without checking the context, it appears to be a reference to the 1967 war, when Israel captured East Jerusalem, the West Bank, Golan, Gaza, and Sinai.

It was posited some years ago that eventually, as long as the Palestinian leadership never sought real peace with Israel, that the philosophical aims of Al Queda and the Palestinian terrorist groups would merge.
It is now clear, from the movements of Zarqawi in Iraq, that not only are the philosophical aims of the radical Palestinians and Al Queda in the process of converging, but so are their military aims as well.
It is probably well known, in official US and Israel circles, and under-reported even in Israel, that Al Queda, Hamas and Hezbollah are linking up militarily in Gaza.

Not just Seville, all of Spain, southern France, Sicily, Rome. Maybe Paris if the riots were a conquest. And not just childrens books. From their charter.
Article Eleven: The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. Neither a single Arab country nor all Arab countries, neither any king or president, nor all the kings and presidents, neither any organization nor all of them, be they Palestinian or Arab, possess the right to do that. Palestine is an Islamic Waqf land consecrated for Moslem generations until Judgement Day. This being so, who could claim to have the right to represent Moslem generations till Judgement Day?
This is the law governing the land of Palestine in the Islamic Sharia (law) and the same goes for any land the Moslems have conquered by force, because during the times of (Islamic) conquests, the Moslems consecrated these lands to Moslem generations till the Day of Judgement.
It happened like this: When the leaders of the Islamic armies conquered Syria and Iraq, they sent to the Caliph of the Moslems, Umar bin-el-Khatab, asking for his advice concerning the conquered land - whether they should divide it among the soldiers, or leave it for its owners, or what? After consultations and discussions between the Caliph of the Moslems, Omar bin-el-Khatab and companions of the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, it was decided that the land should be left with its owners who could benefit by its fruit. As for the real ownership of the land and the land itself, it should be consecrated for Moslem generations till Judgement Day. Those who are on the land, are there only to benefit from its fruit. This Waqf remains as long as earth and heaven remain. Any procedure in contradiction to Islamic Sharia, where Palestine is concerned, is null and void.
"Verily, this is a certain truth. Wherefore praise the name of thy Lord, the great Allah." (The Inevitable - verse 95).

Hamas is a part of the Muslim Brotherhood, Zawahiri's outfit. Their agenda is global Jihad not just Israeli domination.
That makes Hamas a world problem. Look out for the influx of Al Qaeda and Hezbollah to Gaza.

Hamas demands return of Seville in internet children's magazine
And the Muslims will be successful in retaking the Iberian Peninsula
if they don't wake up soon.
In David Ensor's one-hour special on CNN, the contrast of France and Spain's
anti-terrorism tactics was stunning.
The French are pretty hardcore with their domestic terrorists;
the Spanish Socialists have adopted a kumbiyah approach.
Yes, the Spanish Muslim they interviewed was smiling about how
much he liked the approach of the Spanish guvmint.

Is anyone else getting as tired of this muzzy BS as I am? If these savages in filthy night shirts think they can take Seville then I say bring it on! These clowns haven't mounted a credible military campaign in over five hundred years. The only reason these dufuses strap on explosives and murder innocent women and children is because the thought of attacking an actual soldier makes them pee their pants. They really are cowards at hart. They can't even face life. The real reason that they dress their women in tents is because they know that given half a chance, the women would choose virtually anyone else but them. Where as I am proud to be seen in public with my attractive wife; these cretins are afraid that their women would leave with the first decent man they meet. They are pathetic little men who's only way to get a sense of power in their sad little lives is to lord it over their women. We really really need to switch to nuclear power and put Achmed back on his Camel. The sooner the better.
