Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


Unfortunately, the current Spanish Prime Minister, Zapatero, seems to share the same sense of denial that the British elites do as described in Melanie Phillips’s book Londonistan, which I have talked about on “BreakPoint.” He has demonstrated open contempt for Spain’s Catholic heritage while increasingly accommodating Islamic interests. Some five hundred years after the fall of the last Islamic stronghold in Spain, his government is financing the teaching of Islam in public schools.

What’s it going to take for the West to wake up? There is a real clash of worldviews, and it’s deadly. And just like between the two great World Wars, Europe is asleep.

Al-Errors.
According to your article, I suppose that you haven't ever been to Spain. When you say:

"it’s easy to find evidence of Spain’s Islamic past... in the faces of the people"?

Most of the moors were expeled from Al-Andalus in stages. Maybe you have seen some inmigrants from Morocco and tink that's the common Spaniard.

The architecture reminds the muslim past, but only few examples, that were preserved by the christians, unlike the moors, that destroyed all they wanted.

You say something that makes me laugh:

"“Andalusi” comes from “Al Andalus,” the Arabic name for southern Spain, the part known as Andalusia today."

Al-Adalus IS NOT Andalusia.

That's incredible! I couldn't believe you were so uninformed. Every schoolchildren know that Al-Andalus was Spain. Tariq, Musa or any other muslim invader called it to Seville as well as Barcelona.

But, dont't worry. These are some of the tons of myths about Al-Andalus.


Apart from these, I agree with the rest of the article. The anti-christian Spanish Prime Minister (or President , as they say) is an irresponsible that is ruining all that Aznar built.

I think he might read, for example, the books of Oriana Fallaci.
