Big Peace ^ | Feb 3, 2011 | Patrick S. Poole

Stonewall Jackson is rolling over in his grave.

Next month his beloved Virginia Military Institute will be convening a celebration commemorating the 1300th anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Spain under the Muslim warlord Tariq ibn Ziyad in 711 A.D. The March 23-25 celebration entitled “711-2011: East Meets West” and organized by VMI’s Center for Leadership and Ethics, is scheduled to feature standard Muslim apologists Reza Aslan and Akbar Ahmed. VMI Superintendent Gen. J.H. Binford Peay has even filmed an invitation to the celebration.

my family is from the very top of Spain that remained free from the muzzies. I’d like to think that just maybe my ancestors fought at Battle of Covadonga. It took from 722 till about 1492 to get rid of the muzzies in Spain.
Welcome to the New World War. VMI has now joined the douchtard PC military academies.

Welcome to World War 3

Perhaps, it's just time for us to do what needs to be done.

I'll leave it to all to determine what methods. I don't want to be banned or to entertain DHS lemmings.

Are you saying that VMI is liberal? I hardly believe that. You run your mouth on a journalist title? This could just be a military study. Funny how you knock article headings on some things but a good conservative school like VMI and you lose your mind.....so typical.

This is what happens when students are not taught real history, and also what happens when colleges are infiltrated by progressive Muslims and Marxists. IMO

I agree completely, with whatever it is that you’re thinking. In fact I just said that on another thread - self deleted comment.

I completed my Rat Year at WMI in 1971. The values instilled in me there impressed me, and still do. Those values, like so much else, are obviously casualties of the Left’s war on America.

Despicable.

Who is speaking on El Cid? If I remember correctly, he kicked Muslim asses when he was dead. (They propped him up on a horse.)

The animating force behind the left -- both domestically and globally -- is anti-Americanism. It's not so much socialism that they're for, it's America that they are against.

Though Radical Islam is driven by Islamofascism, it is also seen as an anti-American actor, therefore a "comrade-in-arms".

Little do they realize that, in the event of their mutual success, they would be the first ones beheaded. Whether for homosexuality, for feminism, for secularism, for their simple dhimmitude...

That`s what I want to know, too. I don`t see any named sources describing it as a celebration. It sounds more like a study in military strategy.

We’re so screwed...

No we're not. Not at all. The muslims just have not met the anger of America's citizens yet, only our duplicituous politicians and bureaucrats. Middle Americans read their Constitution and remain armed. Muslims better understand that.

Hannity had the Islamo-nazi on last night, who talked about Israel occupying Muslim lands. He should have asked him, if Spain is occupied Muslim land. Bin Laden complained about the tragedy of Andalusia, ie when Ferdinand and Isabella re-took Spain for the Christians.

We celebrate the 1300th anniversary of Tariq ibn Ziyad’s crossing of the Straits of Gibraltar, setting into motion the fusion between two worlds. The agenda will tell the vital story of the achievements when Muslims, Christians, and Jews thrived side by side in Western Europe, building a society that lit the Dark Ages. Experts will discuss how to transform education, promote tolerance, political reform, and advance human development so that we can emulate the spirit and triumphs of the early years.

I hardly call that the cornerstone of a conservative military institution. It's radical Muslim indoctrination. And its going on in a US military institution.

VMI and the military has been heading in this direction for a long time.

Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that's worse.

- Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey

Marxism reigns
