Hamas demands return of Seville in internet children's magazine
Spain Herald ^ | 1-3-06

Posted on 01/03/2006 6:50:42 PM PST by SJackson

The children's website Al Fateh, property of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, demands in its most recent issue the return of the Spanish city of Seville to the "lost paradise" of Al Andalus, as the Muslim part of Spain was called during its existence between 711 and 1492. The web magazine, whose name means "conqueror," says it is for "the young builders of the future."

The web magazine, whose name means "conqueror," includes an article in which the city of Seville itself is the narrator, saying, "I beg you, my loved ones, to call me to return along with the other cities of the lost paradise to Muslim hands so that happiness may reign in my lands. Dress me, for I am the bride of the land of Al Andalus."

"I was once the capital of the Kingdom of Seville, connected to the Atlantic by the Guadalquivir River. I wear around my neck the scarf of the most beautiful river, more than the Euphrates, the Tigris, and the Nile, where gondolas and fishing boats navigate for 24 miles, under the trees with the singing of the birds," the article says.

The Al Fateh website says it is for "the young builders of the future." It contains, along with typical children's content like drawings, poetry, and stories, a great deal of references to resistence and martyrdom. Its main subjects are Palestine and the Arab and Muslim worlds, especially their religious aspect. The lives and deaths of the Palestinian "martyrs," many of them suicide bombers, are a constant theme, as well as descriptions of important cities in Muslim history.

This particular article tells the story of Asbilia, the Arabic name for Seville, in language understandable to the smallest children. It explains that the city "was the capital of the Kingdom of Seville." The history of the city begins, according to Al Fateh, with the Muslim conquest. The story ends when Seville was reconquered by King Fernando III, and concludes, "So the golden age of the Muslims who lost me ended, but the marks of their civilization remain."

"The lost paradise of Al Andalus," explicitly mentioned in the text, is a common meme in the Muslim world. It has led to concrete fatwas declared in order to recover territories conquered by Christian "infidels," such as that of three years ago by the Islamist sheik Yousef Al-Qaradhawi, which explicitly says that "Islam will return to Europe as the conqueror." Al-Qaradhawi is the leader of the European Council for Fatwa and Research, the president of the International Association of Muslim Scholars, and the spiritual leader of many other Islamist organizations around the world.

Fine, they have to give back any holdings in the holy land and take their stupid black rock with them.

The Islamics think that they own everything they ever stole.
And everything else.

Anyone who reads Arabic, from the "kids" site, what does this mean? To me it appears to be a US interstate sign.

If their horses drop a pile, that counts too.

I'm thinkin' the black rock at Mecca would make a lot of cool book ends. I'm looking for investors who want in at the ground level after Islam gets nuked flat.

OK, now that I have read the comic book version, I can't help but let curiosity lead me to learn reality. when was Seville founded? I suspect by the Romans, when Spain was known as Iberia.

Although I have been to Spain many times and have dug through a lot of its history, this fact escapes me.

Doesn't matter. They were there, it's theirs.

For centuries analysts and chroniclers gave the honour of tracing Seville's limits to that most popular of mythical heroes, Hercules.He marked with 6 columns the spot where Julius Caesar would later found the city of Seville. The illustrious Roman general called the new city Iulia Romula Hispalis: Iulia after himself, Romula in honour of Rome and Hispalis, according to Saint Isidore in his Etymologies, because many of the buildings had wooden piles driven into the ground as foundations. Subsequent historical researches into the founding of Seville have to this day been unable to correct this popular belief in Seville´s mythical origins to such an extent that it is celebrated in a popular verse:

Just as I suspected, the classic retards of the Levant are smoking funny stuff again!

Reality

Where are the Spaniards asking for Islamic governments to pay reparations?

Doesn't even matter if it "was" there, everything belongs to this "master race". There are some Imam on the internet who claim that Allah put all of these riches in America for "them".

It is a horrible political system, one that rivals Marxism and Nazism. The religion is just a cover. It is a form of government. Slaves seized in jihad must be taken to an "Islamic territory" to be divided up. The left mocked the flyover states in 2004 by labelling that part of the US/Election Map "Jesusland". Jesus knows no borders. Muslims do.

I saw in another post, an article where the writer says if you really want to screw the Muslims then hijack the Black Rock and put it into orbit.

All observant Muslims have to turn to it 5 times a day for prayer. Hard to do when it's circling the earth every 90 minutes.

Very interesting. I knew that Julius Caesar had founded Seville, but not the Hercules bit.

And even when Seville was taken over by the Moors, it most assuredly was not ruled by the ancestors of present day Palestinians.
