Spain stops more plots by Islamic militants

Is it any wonder that the lunatics running Al Qaeda want to reclaim Andalusia?

Good read! From my perspective, Andalusia is a relatively peaceful assimilation of Moorish, European and Spanish cultures. It would take a hell of a lot of chaos over a long period of time to change Andalusia.

You're probably right.

It just goes to prove how irreconcilable their goals are with the law-abiding, modern, Western civilization in which most of us live.

If Luis Zapatero thought that he would be able to placate these lunatics by simply withdrawing the Spanish contingent from our Coalition of the Willing, he was sorely mistaken.

"I always liked Spain, but will never go there again unless and until the voters get rid of that that communist stench in Zapatero."

We change left/right every 8 or 12 years so it is just a metter of time...

Last September, the police arrested 10 Pakistanis suspected of belonging to a support network for Islamic militants

Evidence about the cells indicates that Spain is still a target for terrorist attacks despite the withdrawal of its troops from Iraq.

So why is this author refering to the perps of terrorist attacks as militants?
