Observers say that by granting citizenship to all descendants of expelled Muslims, Spain, virtually overnight, would end up with the largest Muslim population in the European Union.
"Is Spain aware of what might be assumed when it makes peace with some but not with others? Is Spain aware of what this decision [not to include Muslims in the return] could cost?... Does Spain have alternatives to the foreign investment from Muslims? — Ahmed Bensalh, Morisco-Moroccan journalist.
"Persecution of Jews was just that, while what happened with the Arabs was part of a conflict. There is no basis for comparison." — Jose Ribeiro e Castro, Portuguese lawmaker who drafted Portuguese law of return.
Muslim groups are demanding Spanish citizenship for potentially millions of descendants of Muslims who were expelled from Spain during the Middle Ages.
The growing clamor for "historical justice" comes after the recent approval of a law that would grant Spanish citizenship to descendants of Sephardic Jews expelled from Spain in 1492.
Muslim supporters say they are entitled to the same rights and privileges as Jews because both groups were expelled from Spain under similar historical circumstances.
But historians point out that the Jewish presence in Spain predates the arrival of Christianity in the country and that their expulsion was a matter of bigotry. By contrast, the Muslims in Spain were colonial occupiers who called the territory Al-Andalus and imposed Arabic as the official language. Historians say their expulsion was a matter of decolonization.

They have every right come back as long they don’t impose Sharia Law on Spanish citizens
“Muslim groups are demanding...”
When aren’t they?
They only understand the spoils of war when they are the winners.
Historical justice would demand that nuclear bombs be dropped on Mecca for the raping,murdering,and misery inflicted on the world from Muslims since the seventh century.
“They have every right come back as long they don’t impose Sharia Law on Spanish citizens”
That’s like asking a child molester not to look at kids. Imposing Sharia law is part of being a true mooslum.
Ha....invade it several hundred years ago, get thrown back, and then demand to be able to come “home” again. The cojones on them Sons of Allah....
Why not just chop yer own heads off and save the Muzzies the trouble??
Howsabout—NEVER!
Expect to hear this same kind of nonsensical BS here from the Mexican Nationals. It’s coming. People better drop all of the political correctness bull**** and start getting serious about defending their countries and their money. The communists are backing this. Total world chaos is the only way they can win.
It took 800 years to rid Spain of the Islamic menace. Don’t let it back in. Islam is destruction and stagnation.
I think I’ll demand the Hagia Sophia and Byzantium along with Constantinople and ALL of Northern Africa since is was Christian long before the usurpers threw us out.
AFIC, the Hajj should be a shiny darkened circle on a sea of once-molten glass in the Desert.
And the Spanish should claim “Right of Crusade” back.
FUROP!!
Okay Max
I giving them benefit of doubt LOL!
Mooselimbs are demanding right-of-return so they can invade the country again.
Yeah, demand on one hand and shiite in the other.
And what of Christian right of return to Constantinople? What of Jewish right of return to any and all of the lands they once held in the eastern Mediterranean region?
Are the filthy muzzies okay with those rights and others of a similar nature?
Is there a poll for that somewhere? How many times can I vote?
