The Quiet Islamic Conquest of Spain
The Gatestone Institute ^ | 9/30/17 | Giulio Meotti

Posted on 10/02/2017 5:37:03 PM PDT by marshmallow

* Evicted five centuries ago by crusading Christians, the Arabs are back in Spain, using their oil dollars to buy land that was seized from their ancestors by the sword". — James M. Markham, The New York Times, 1981.

* The Madrid daily ABC wrote that 800 mosques in Spain are out of control. The Spanish daily La Razon charged that Gulf donors, such as Qatar, were a source of Spain's Islamization. The Saudis also launched a new Spanish television channel, Córdoba TV, as did Iran.

* They dream of, and work to, regain the "lost Caliphate" of Spain. Some Islamists do it with bombs and car-ramming attacks. Others, more surreptitiously, do it with money and dawa, Islamic propaganda. The second way may be even more effective than the first.

The ceremony in 2003 was announced with bombastic headlines: "After a wait of more than 500 years, Spanish Muslims, have finally succeeded in building a mosque of their own in the shadow of the Alhambra, once the symbol of Islamic power in Europe". A troupe from al Jazeera was sent to follow the event: a muezzin climbed to the minaret of the Great Mosque of Granada to call the faithful to prayer for the first time in five centuries.

From Osama bin Laden to the self-proclaimed Caliph, Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, all the leaders of the global jihad -- including the terror cell that killed 17 people in Barcelona -- have mentioned Spain among the lands to be conquered by Islam. There is, however, not only jihad. There is also "the quiet conquest", as it has been dubbed by the French magazine, Valeurs Actuelles. The quiet conquest is a sinuous attempt to re-Islamize Spain through cultural centers, mega-mosques, proselytizing, conversions and financial investments. This pacific attempt to elicit submission......

Islam has to be redefined as not a religion but a political movement aimed at world conquest. That removes any religious freedoms they hide behind and in the US puts them in the category of treason.

You have to do something. The history of my nation is one big self-defensive war against islam. We Croats and Eastern Europeans in general hate islam with a passion that is hard to describe.

On that one issue, we definitely agree. Christians hate Islam with a purple passion too. I think, that many, though maybe not all of these Islamics, are the descendants of Ishmael, who was a wild man. They take after him. I am not 💯 % sure, but King David might have been referring to ishmaelites, when he wrote Psalms 120:7, “I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.”
By the way, I worked with a guy, in California, who was born and raised in Croatia 🇭🇷 He was a good guy, but sometimes it was hard to understand his English.

Muslims are the physical and spiritual children of Ishmael. English and Croatian are very different languages. Of course it was hard to understand him. Croatian is my first language. I know how hard it is to master English.

Sometimes I would have to ask him to slow down his speech a little, so I could understand him better. I just can’t remember his name, as I have forgotten many other names, since I am a man of leisure (retired) Then, as much as I loved California, I couldn’t take it anymore. Too many Obama and Clinton supporters for me. I hit the road.

78.3% of native born Americans agree with you!

And thus the world ends with a whimper, as the other side; ahem; out 'produces' us.

I am 28. My next goal in life is to find a wife. I dated a feminist for 5 years. So I am REALLY careful about the next woman. I wrote a long letter to my Californian school after the 2015 decision on gay marriage. The responses disappointed me.

I am wondering how on earth you could put up with a feminist for that long?

Well, you are still young, at least. Of course, if you really want a good wife, just go to the same place I did. There are millions of them, just waiting for a good man, right AMPU? 🇵🇭😀😆😄

Well hey, I read the Bible, every day, mostly the New Testament, which, of course, tells the story of the saving work of Jesus Christ, of Nazareth, and I don’t mean Nazareth, Pennsylvania, which is 4 miles north of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. No, I refer to Nazareth of Galilee. You know, the one they asked, can anything good come out of Galilee? Since I read the New Testament every day, you know I would never lead you astray. 😀😀😄👍

A common type of idolatry is when a man worships the woman in his life. It never ends well.

Don’t let it happen. Anything that gets in between you, and your relationship with God, is idolatry. I hope you find a good one, however. Just go to the same place I did. 😁🇵🇭
