A Spanish town has become the first in the country to ban Muslims from using public facilities to celebrate religious Eid festivals just weeks after a nearby area was rocked by anti-migrant riots.
The controversial ban was passed in Jumilla, a town in the Murcia region with a population of around 27,000 - roughly 7.5 per cent of whom come from mostly Muslim countries.
The motion was proposed by Spain's conservative People's Party (PP) and backed by the hard right Vox party.
It prohibits the public facilities such a sports halls and civic centres being used for 'religious, cultural or social activities alien to our identity' unless officially organised by the local council.
It comes less than a month after several people were left injured during anti-migrant rioting in Torre Pacheco, just 70 miles from Jumilla, when a pensioner was reportedly beaten up by three Moroccan men.
A 68-year-old man told Spanish media he was beaten up in the street on July 9 by three young men of North African origin.
Amid the announcement of the latest ban, critics have said the wording is a thinly veiled attack on Islamic traditions, and have warned that the ruling could breach Spain's constitutionally protected freedom of religion.
The local Vox party openly celebrated the decision, declaring on X: 'Thanks to Vox the first measure to ban Islamic festivals in Spain's public spaces has been passed. Spain is and will be forever the land of Christian people'.

Yes
“Reconquista 2.0 — let’s do the whole continent this time.”
...and why should they stop this time, they have most of the WOMEN there cheering them on, and in positions of power to prevent the men from stopping them.
Meanwhile the barely-elected Marxist government of Spain is all-in supporting Hamas and importing more “migrants.”
The only good mooselimb is a deported one.
“critics have said the wording is a thinly veiled attack on Islamic traditions”
Evidently, beating up old men is an Islamic tradition.
Controversial to whom? Liberals who misses Muslims asses?
Do what you have to do. It will be over soon.
Get those followers of Satan OUT OF YOUR COUNTRY!

They kicked them out once, why did they let them back in?
Muslims are a detriment to society. Koran teaches killing as opposed to civility.
It took 700 years to drive the moslems out of Spain in 1492. Then again in 1611.
Why are they back?
If the rest of Europe doesn’t wake up, it will take much blood to recover, if at all, possible.
Eid al-Adha honours the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his so - Ishmael - as an act of obedience to God’s command. Thus insulting Jews and Christians, who are blamed for opposing this perversion of the Bible.
Meaning it never happened re. Ishmael.
