Anyone have a screenshot of the VMI site where it says “celebration”? It says “commemoration” now. Not heartwarming, but also not as pointedly dhimmi.
A fusion between two worlds began 1300 years ago with Tariq ibn Ziyad’s crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar in 711. Please join us to commemorate the brilliant contributions resulting from the blending of eastern and western cultures. The agenda will tell the vital story of the achievements when Christians, Jews, and Muslims thrived side by side in Western Europe, building a society that lit the Dark Ages. Experts will discuss how to transform education, promote tolerance, civility, political reform, and advance human development so that we can emulate the spirit and triumphs of the early years.They still call it a "Gala event". and still have the language about emulating the "triumphs of the early years" (of the caliphate, presumably). They've added more speakers, but I still don't see any with even a claimed interest in military history.Visit our Guest Speakers Page: HERE.
