Thanks for the link. We studied this extensively in one of my Islamic history classes. There is a lot more to Islamic history in Europe than most people realize.

Islam came very cross to encompassing most of Europe before Charles Martel met the Muslims advance from Spain outside Loire at the Battle of Poitiers. The Moors are the descendents of the Spanish Muslims. The Spanish Inquisition basically has its roots in attempts by the church to rid the region of not just Jews but also Muslims.

There are many common words between Arabic and Spanish. For example, in Arabic CAT is Al Qato and in Spanish CAT is Al Gato.

More than I realized SP2BF. After reading your translation of OBL's letter and after finding that link and reading it, it sounds as if OBL and crew wants back what they believe is rightfully theirs like the Mexicans want back California, Texas, etc..
