Aznar, 'Muslims have never apologised for Spanish invasion'
Thinkspain.com ^ | September 23, 2006 | "ThinkSpain"

José María Aznar has said that while he has heard Pope Benedict XVI being asked to apologise for a speech about the Islamic faith he made in Germany last weekend, he has not heard "any Muslims apologising to me for conquering Spain and staying for eight centuries."

The former president of the Spanish government was answering a question at the Hudson Institute in Washington, where he had earlier made a speech during which he said that international terrorism "threatens us all wherever we may be. We are at war. This is a war, and, to fight it, it is indispensable that we believe that we shall win, but, if you don't believe in anything, you can't fight against anything. The leaders of the western world don't believe."

The former PP leader also said that "Islamic fundamentalism must be confronted because there's no other option," and that the world is "under a constant attack against which it must defend itself. The West did not attack Islam, they attacked us."

He concluded his address by criticising "the lack of leadership in Europe," and "divisions" between European countries.

Most of us already knew what the point was - the news is that someone in Spain is actually saying it!

He forgot to ask for an apology for the Madrid bombing.

Not that he'll get one, ever, but he should at least ask to put the mohammetans on record.

If the Islamics start apologizing for every major offense they've done...
they'd have no time to continue their conquest of the world!

If I remember correctly, he didn't run for re-election. I think his chosen successor was defeated.

Maybe someone who has a better memory can weigh in.

I've always liked Aznar, and this only helps cement that opinion.

How? Because the left in Spain appeases the Jihadists, seeking its own political gains and not true national interests, just as the left does here.

OOOH, the Mooslims are really gonna be pissed! Probably call for Asnar's head on a spike or that Spain resubmit to Mooslim occupation as a form of apology.

The truth is, the morons believe that Spain still belongs to them.

According to their twisted "logic", any land conquered by muslims (not by force, of course, since islam is not violent) is eternally muslim territory.

In their view, back in 1492 infidels stole Spain from them.

However, the Spaniards apologized to the muslims when they voted in the socialists, and voted out the Popular Party.
