It occurred to me that there is probably a bigger story, a deeper meaning, behind why this particular destination was selected.
Given that the Ground Zero Mosque project is the “Cordoba project” (Cordoba being a city in Spain with distinct historical significance in Muslim conquest), I was wondering what significance Marbella has to Muslims…
In Roman times, the city was called “Salduba” (Salt City[1]).
During Islamic rule the Moors built a castle in this city.
Castle, mosque, or both?
The name Marbella, which is derived from Marbil-la, dates from this Islamic era…
In 1485 the city fell to Christian forces…
In 1974 Prince Fahd arrived at the city… Until his death in 2005 he was a frequent and profitable guest at Marbella, where his retinue of over a thousand people spending petro-dollars was welcome, including the then-anonymous Osama bin Laden.
Remember when Barack bowed to the Saudi King? Well, this was his predecessor…
Marbella Remember[s] King Fahd.
Fahd bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud. 1923 – August 1, 2005. He was the king and prime minister of Saudi Arabia and leader of the House of Saud.
Everyone has a favourite Fahd story. Mine was that day he cast a glance eye over Marbella’s Hotel Don Pepe. He sent a secretary to enquire how much would the owners want for the hotel. The answerable was politely told the hotel was not for sale.
The secretary replied: “Everyone has a price when in comes to the king”. But not that time. It was one of the very few occasions that Fahd was rejected. But his love affair with Marbella was not dimmed.
He told a local journalist that he liked the town “because it is part of a land blessed by Allah”, referring to the time when the area had been occupied by the Arabs from the 8th to the 13th century.
King Fahd’s Palace.
From the hotel Incosol just outside Marbella, Fahd directed the construction of his Marbella property, Mar Mar Palace, modelled on the White House…
What significance do you think Muslims see in the Obama’s visit to Marbella?
