Oh WOW, this is really, r-e-a-l-l-y weird!

When I woke up this morning and was thinking about the bombing in Spain, I was also thinking about the paradox that while Columbus was sailing in 1492 and 'europe was enlightened', a good portion of Spain was STILL under Muslim rule. Then wah-la Steyn writes this article and, "the tragedy of Andalusia" – that is, the end of Muslim rule in Spain in 1492."

There MUST be a meaning to this?!? Maybe I better get my tin-foil beanie on FAST. Steyn must be communicating with my brain. OR maybe I have ESP?!?

Now where's that tin-foil....

Actually, 1492 was the year that Muslims were definitively defeated in Spain, after a 700 year fight to get them out. They weren't in control of anything in 1492.

I hope Spain, when it goes to the polls today, remembers that it took them 700 years to get rid of the Muslims the first time around and decides that it would be no fun to have to do it again. If Spain votes for the Socialists, look for Spain to be Muslim-dominated within about five years.

Or maybe two people can have similar thoughts given the same set of circumstances. :^)
