I have pointed out for quite some time that in traditional Islamic theology, any land belonging to the Dar Al-Islam belongs to it by right forever. Thus jihadists believe they have a natural right not only to Israel but to Spain. Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld has more evidence of this in FrontPage:
Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos’ efforts earlier this year to remove HAMAS from the European Union’s terrorist list, have done little to change HAMAS’ agenda. It is not only Palestine that children in the West Bank and Gaza are asked to liberate; now they are asked to liberate Seville. The HAMAS children’s magazine, Al-Fateh, in a recent issue, (No. 66), tells the children about the city called Asbilia (Seville) and calls on them to free it, together with the whole country, from the infidels and to reinstate Muslim rule. This is how the magazine has the city Asbilia (Seville) telling its story to Hamas’ children: “Salaam Aleykum my dear beloved. I would like to introduce myself: I am the city Asbilia, the bride of the country Andalus (Spain). In the past I was the Capital of the Kingdom of Asbilia… the Arab Muslims, led by the hero-commander Musa bin Nusair, conquered me in 713, after a siege, which lasted one month.
“In the year 97 of the Muslim calendar, the ruler of Andalus, Ayoub bin Habib al-Lahimi moved the Capital to my sister city, Cordoba… in the year 646 of the Muslim calendar, Ferdinand III besieged me and conquered me after a siege which lasted one year and five months, and that was due to the strength of my fortifications and my walls. This is when the Golden Age of the Muslims ended, and Asbilia (Seville) was lost by the Muslims.” And the story goes on: “However, Muslim cultural expression and symbols still remain witness to the superior Muslim culture on my soil…I yearn that you, my beloved, will call me to return, together with the rest of the lost cities of the lost orchard [Andalus] to the hands of the Muslims so that joy and happiness will fill my land, and you will visit me because I am the bride of the country of Andalus.” (emphasis added)
This telling story comes at a time when Hamas, in English, states that its interest is “to liberate occupied Palestine.” However, this story to liberate Spain, in Arabic, in a form that children can easily relate to, describes the Fatwa issued by Yusuf Qaradawi on December 2, 2002.
The Egyptian-born Yusuf Qaradawi, an al Azhar University-educated member of the Muslim Brotherhood, who resides in Qatar, is one of the most influential Sunni clerics. The Fatwa, which the children’s story reiterates, follows the Muslim Brotherhood’s teachings -- which also serve as the basis of HAMAS’ Charter.
Qaradawi, calls on Muslims to conquer Europe, saying: “Islam will return to Europe as a conqueror and a victor after being expelled from it twice – once from the south, from Andalusia, and a second time, from the east, when it knocked several times on the doors of Athens.” Qaradawi ruled that Muslims should re-conquer “'former Islamic colonies' in Andalus (Spain), southern Italy, Sicily, the Balkans and the Mediterranean islands."
Indeed, the activities of Radical Islamist movements in Spain are nothing new. Imad Eddin Barakat Yarkas was sentenced last September in Madrid, to 27 years in prison for aiding the 9/11 attacks from Spain, and 16 of his co-conspirators were convicted for belonging to al Qaeda. On December 20, 2005, 16 additional al-Qaeda operatives on Spain were arrested for allegedly sending volunteers to wage Jihad in Iraq. These arrests are only the most recent since the March 11, 2004 train bombing in Madrid.
In a series of speeches about the importance of confronting al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq, President George W. Bush acknowledged that their aim is to “establish a totalitarian Islamic empire that reaches from Spain to Indonesia.”
However, this ideology is clearly not limited to al Qaeda’s terrorists. HAMAS’ children magazine, Al Fateh’s call to return Seville “to the hands of the Muslims” is no different than that of al-Qaeda’s call to establish the Caliphate. Evidently, HAMAS’ interests also extend to the liberation and Islamization of all occupied former Muslim territories, according to the dogma of the Muslim Brotherhood from which HAMAS originated.
Apparently encouraged by successful Jihad against Israel, HAMAS is now raising the ante, going international. Just as they have indoctrinated a generation of Palestinian children to commit suicide attacks against Israelis, they are now expanding their targets to include the rest of the Caliphate -– beginning with Spain. It is only a matter of time, before today’s Palestinian children, and others exposed to HAMAS’ publications start offering themselves up for the next stage of Jihad in Spain.

Funny, the homos are doing the same thing.
Obviously Islam and Robert Mugabe have a lot in common, both think the entire planet is theirs.
At least they state it openly. Any land which has once been conquered is theirs for all time. Diplomacy with them is pointless, they've set the ground rules for engagement.
My thought exactly. Gotta get 'em when they're young.
Iy wonr be hard for Islamic children to take Spain. All they have to do is blow up another train and ask for it.
Where I have a real problem with Islam is that it does not play (AT ALL) with others. The leading and primary concept of Islam is that Mohammad is the "Seal of the Prophets" and thus the last word of God about anything. There can be nothing after him - witness the Baha'i persecutions, and all others are either pagan (ex: Hindu & Sikh) or precursors that need to be lead into the 'light' (Jews & Christian - "People of the Book"). There can be no permitted conversion away from Islam and no compromise as equals if the Qa'ran is to be faithfully followed. The world is divided into Dar al Islam and Dar al Harib, the first of Believers the second being the world where war is waged to make believers.
I personally do know Muslims whom I like and are good neighbors. I greet them with their traditional "salaam aleichem" (peace to you) just like I might say to my jewish friends "shalom aleichem" identical meaning. My problem is that I do not see how and where Islam can transcend this primary concept, that it is the ultimate faith and that all of the world belongs ultimately to it and that war is a means to that end.
While there have been excesses of violence in all religions, Christian Inquisition etc., these are aberrations of their scriptural origin where a single phrase is taken (generally out of context) as license. In so far as I can see, Islam's scripture is full of war & attack and peace is only emphasized in the older sayings of Mohammad which seem to be ignorable by the extremists. I can hope but my solution of this problem is to get to the point where oil is no longer vital and thus we can let these fanatics enjoy their sands and religion without the current power. Thus my tag-line as I ride by ever so many gas stations - not one unnecessary dime to the fanatics.
The Muslims are after the civilized world again. The line drawn in the sand becomes much clearer.
Problem is the Spanish have demonstrated their unwillingness to fight back, so unless something "radical" happens there they seem to be destined for dhimmitude.

It's only a matter of time before "The Barber of Seville", which made its way into children's cartoons with Bugs Bunny as "The Rabbit of Seville" becomes a Hamas children's caricature called "The Butcher of Seville."
And World War demands universal mobilization. At the same time, it demands very careful strategic thinking - how do you engage an enemy that is using, among other tactics, simple population growth as a means of taking over a country, or region? And where do you dredge up the fortitude [substitute any word you want] to stand firm. Just this last week, Muslims in various countries in western Europe were heard to demand Sharia law be instituted. One group demanded that all female teachers wear head scraves. And you can add many examples.
CLOSE THE DRAWBRIDGES and MAN THE WALLS - the counterattack has begun. And I do not mean this to be frivolous!
First Europe, then Asia, then the rest of the world (the Western Hemisphere). Next week, Hamas is making state visits to several South American countries.
I agree COMPLETELY with your assessment.
We're going to find out, sooner or later,
If Abdul will pray, to a smoking crater.

Article 11 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.
Education of the next generation is how you bring it all about.
