And this from the nation that drove out the Western Caliphate? Pelayo and Cortez must be turning over in their graves. If this is the kind of cr@p coming out of Spain, it will again be called Andalus and be ruled by Moorish amirs not many years hence. The decline of modern Spain sounds familiar. As Gibbon says:

The Goths were no longer the victorious barbarians who had humbled the pride of Rome, despoiled the queen of nations, and penetrated from the Danube to the Atlantic Ocean. Secluded from the world by the Pyrenean mountains, the successors of Alaric had slumbered in long peace; the walls of the cities were mouldered into dust; the youth had abandoned the exercise of arms; and the presumption of their ancient renown would expose them in a field of battle to the first assault of the invaders (The World's Great Events, "Arab Conquest of Spain", p. 229).
