The Canary islands were the only place where real Portugese existed after the muzzie mauraders over-ran southern Europe

What are you talking about? You got so many facts wrong in that sentence it is incredible

  1. the Canary Islands are Spanish, not Portuguese
  2. The Canary Islands had migratns (sailors) from Majorca, CAstile and Portugal only from the 1300s onwards
  3. The Canary islands native population were/are Gaunches who are Berber in origin (related to Moroccans and Algerians) - just as St. Augustine was a Berber
  4. When the Mohammadens conquered iberia, there was no Portugal (no Spain either) just the Visigothic kingdom
  5. The Mohammadens didn't overrun "southern Europe" - they conquered the Iberian peninsula - though indications are that the Arian Visigoths carried out a palace coup with Gnostic Berbers and they were later replaced with Ummayads and at a later point Sicily (which they held for one hundred years) and at various points different parts of the toe and heel of Italy and only centuries later, the Seljuks and Ottomans gained Greece - vast differences in time and at no point did they hold all of Southern Europe

Your comment was way off.

90% of the portugese families in central Calif are descended from immigrants from the canary islands and the azores.

Many call themselves “canaros.”

It doesn’t matter which nation “owns” the territory!
