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.

Some assembly required.
THX FOR YOUR PINGS.
No program about “El Cid”, I assume...
As a local boy myself, I wanted to see for sure. According to this it’s a celebration:

From the article (not the title):
Event organizers describe the event as follows:Any knowledge of the history of Islamic conquests, occupations, and the resulting Sharia institution of Dhimmitude on the subjected populations would prevent a defense or minimization of VMI's self inflicted disgrace."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."
Celebrate Hitler's blitzkrieg of Europe as the "the fusion between two worlds" allowing Aryans and non-Aryans to "thrived side by side" in Europe "building a society that lit" whatever?

nfiltrated by progressive Muslims and Marxists
Rxactly. We are seeing this post modernism infiltration everywhere. IN some places there is resistance but very little here.
It is every bit as dangerous as the worst propaganda that Brave New World referred to:
“You all remember, I suppose, that beautiful and inspired saying of Our Ford’s: History is bunk.”
letting girls in was the camels nose...???
No wonder the ‘wich boys whooped up on VMI back in the day. (just kidding...)
As a Norwich grad, if I saw that from my alma mater I would certainly be tearing up the check to the Alumni association.
I’m celebrating when Gna!rk, an ancestor mine, killed a woolly Mammoth and some of the oppressive !Gluk!!!mi clan one fine day long ago. And I want reparations from the !Gluk!!!mi, for making us walk on two legs. Down with !Gluk!!!mi!
I have a beef with Zoroaster too, but that was much, much, later.
Major Hasan wasn’t enough. Our traitorous military brass want MORe jihadists and MOR dead Americans. which is exactly what they’ll get. We need a new HUAC for the military.
I don’t know why everyone’s surprised by such things. The Clinton Regime did everything it could to drive actual warfighters out of the chain of command of the US Army.
The pogrom didn’t succeed a 100%, but it did manage to cripple the US Army’s command “gene pool” to a dangerously significant degree.
It’ll be another full decade before we’re shed of Clintonistas and all the pathetic, useless, useful idiots that only survived in the Army because of their superior abilities at crawling on their knees in obedience to whatever meme the leftardic cultural destructionists cared to produce.
It’ll be another full generation before we’ve any hope of any real expectation to correct the corrosive and degrading damage done by that cabal of enemy symps that infested the WH.
Obama, as bad as he is, and he is horrible, isn’t doing anywhere near the damage to the military, simply because he and his cabal of enemy loving filth just ain’t slick enough.
WTF? These are our future military leaders?
AGREED and SIGNED!
Someone needs their head examined at the VMI and this should be halted. The Muslims have been a barbaric horde from the start. They savagely invaded the middle east and all of northern Africa in the 600-700s. They were brutal conquerors. Is this what those idiots at VMI want to "celebrate"?
We need a new House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), but for Progressive and Islamofascist infiltration.
There is contact info. on the web site. Maybe Major Amy would like to hear from us? Any VMI alums?
Leftists vermin simply cannot help but respect the cruelty of their Muslim allies. They don’t care if Islam is not compatible with most of liberalism. The brutality and power hunger is most important.
Even this institute has become infected with the vermin. No one and nowhere is safe until they have all been annihilated.
Before you get on your high horse perhaps you should check out the web site. This is no military study. It is a circle jerk of “love and peace”.
"For more than three centuries in Medieval Spain, Muslims, Jews and Christians lived together and prospered in a thriving multicultural civilization. Here, remarkable individuals of different faiths made lasting contributions in such areas as poetry, art, architecture, music, dining etiquette, science, agriculture, medicine, engineering, navigation, textiles, and even hydraulic technology.
"Their rich, complex culture reached a high point in the Mediterranean Middle Ages. However, larger forces in conquest of land and power brought about puritanical judgments, absolutism and religious extremism. The conflict they triggered extinguished the shared learning that once flourished in this enlightened land."
As did Chesty Puller.
