Spain: Mosque demands that Spanish King apologize for Christian Reconquest of the country

Mar 31, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Sure, Yihad. Right after you folks apologize for the Islamic conquest of Spain that preceded the Reconquista. But of course you will never, ever do that, because for jihadis and Islamic supremacists, every atrocity they ever commit is the Infidel’s fault. But if Yihad Sirasua were inclined to be honest, he would have plenty to apologize for. The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS shows in immense detail from primary sources that Muslim Spain was anything but pluralist — it was miserable to live as a Christian there. Christians could never be sure that they would not be harassed. One contemporary account tells of priests being “pelted with rocks and dung” by Muslims while on the way to a cemetery. The dhimmis suffered severe economic hardship: Paul Alvarus, a ninth century Christian in Córdoba, complained about the “unbearable tax” that Muslims levied on Christians. Nor could Christians say anything about their lot, because it was proscribed by Islamic law, and criticizing Islam, Muhammad, or the Qur’an in any manner was a death-penalty offense.

Yihad Sirasua will never tell you any of that, because if the public knew those facts and others, they wouldn’t favor the policies he wants Spain, and the West in general, to adopt. The truth is in The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS.

“Muslim leader wants Spanish King to apologise for defeating Islam in 1492,” Voice of Europe, March 30, 2019:

A few days ago, the new president of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Abrader, demanded that King Felipe VI ask for forgiveness for the conquest by Spain, and now a mosque in Seville is doing the same but for the Reconquista (the Reconquest, when the Muslim rulers were driven out of Andalusia-Spain).

The Ishbilia mosque has published a post on Facebook under the name of the Islamic Community itself and its president, Yihad Sarasua, in expressing “the sentiments among Spanish Muslims and those who for certain reasons, reside in Spain, for the lack of conciliation between the Crown and the heirs of the Andalusian legacy.”

“Sir, being the King of Spain, I believe that the historical moment has arrived to carry out the recognition of the vileness, plunder, displacement and murders carried out by orders of the Catholic kings and their most direct collaborators, which culminated with the surrender of Granada and the breach of everything subscribed to the Muslim community”, reads the letter.

Besides, he adds that the Muslims were subjected to a “constant persecution” that left “millions of dead”:

“Never has existed such a fierce persecution and eagerness to eliminate a religious community, as was carried out by the old Spanish royalty in the times of Felipe II, an extermination that culminated in the War of the Alpujarres subsequent to the Pragmatic Sanction of 1567.”…

“As a descendant of the aforementioned kings, what a formidable opportunity you would have to demonstrate to the Muslim community your respect and your discrepancy, with the Islamic theses, apologising to our community for so many atrocities and interceding for the recognition of Spanish nationality for the descendants of Al Andalus, as was done with the Sephardic Jewish community.”…

    Suggest the king visit the statue of Geraldo sem Pavor in the city of Evora in neighboring Portugal and consider its import before replying.

        “The blood of the heroes is closer to God than the ink of the philosophers and the prayers of the faithful.” ― (Julius Evola, Revolt Against the Modern World)

        Statue of Gerald the fearless known in Portuguese as Geraldo Sem Pavor (“without fear”), was a Portuguese warrior and folk hero of the Reconquista — “the Cid of Portugal”!!!

      Thank you for the reference to Geraldo sem Pavor, who was well worth reading about..

        Here’s more information on him:

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_the_Fearless

        Note the quote where the Muslim whines about his being successful.

        Sadly–also like El Cid–he did at times serve the Muslim invaders as well. Still, in the whole scheme of things he was a force for liberation.

          A bit of interesting background on El Cid / Al-Sayyid in this:

        Living in the Past Crusader. We cannot live in the past. Your genocidal ideation is a dangerous intrusion on the counterjihad which will be used by outsiders to discredit it.

        • gravenimage says

          Apr 1, 2019 at 8:59 pm

          Mortimer, it is actually good for us to know about our history. And Infidels having taken back their lands in the past is *not* genocidal.

          Do you *really* wish that Infidels in Spain and Portugal were still under the Muslim heel?

          And it is more those Muslims in the story above who are not must living in the past, but want to force us all to return there.

      Another demonstration about how insecure and self-conceited Islam makes Muslims to become.

      What a shame more Muslims don’t come to grips with themselves and change their ways for good.

      “So now, Hear, O, Muslims:
      Repent! Come to Christ, your only Savior and your path to Grace and true Peace.”

    How do you say “piss off you bloody raged and go say your prayers” in Arabic?

    • CRUSADER says

      Mar 31, 2019 at 1:46 pm

      Isn’t that “allahu akbar” ???

      The local Arabs at the nearby No Name drinking establishment always said so, after their wives caught them drinking… they immediately had to piss off….muddling something about “say your prayers”….and then using
      the above phrase.

      The Incas and Mayans were rounding up the peaceful tribes and killing and eating their hearts to worship their “sun god” before Spain landed in the new world. Slavery, rape and brutal behavior was noted by the kings Queens and pagan priest of the South American ,and Central America tribes who built their empires on slave labor of the small interior native villages of hunter ,gathering people. The “noble savage myth” of everything was peaceful before the “white man” set foot in the new world is that just a myth. The Spanish interbred with the natives customs and cultures blended it was more peaceful stable society 150 years after the Spanish landed then the thousand years before them reaching the new land. Was it perfect or all good no but it was general more stable peaceful and the general population was doing better economically .

      Spain’s struggle with the Moors. St James the Apostle, Patron of Spain, secured a win in the battle with the Moors over a tribute of 100 virgins to the Moorish Caliph.

    Spain should respond by deporting every Muslim in the country, and demolishing every mosque — starting with this one that made such an outrageous demand.

    Hello? This is Reality calling Spain. Those people are there to conquer you, again — this time via their wombs, and your own suicidal assistance.

    In your dreams Yidad!
    All the muslims can apologize for conquering lands that were not previously theirs!
    If they want to claim that ‘allah granted this to them,’ then we will do the same;
    ‘God granted us these lands!’ That script works both ways!

    And the response is: Apology forthcoming, but all you moslims will need to hold your breath until we decide just what to say, how to say it, and when. Hint: it may be easier to hold your breath underwater, but anywhere will do: Just remember, don’t breathe.

    So someone steals your car, you get it back from them, and they demand an apology from you for depriving them you property? Are the people at this mosque having a joke or have they got a screw loose?

      jayell

      The actor in Chicago who played a hoax, hired some guys to pretend to assault him, sent a letter to himself and made false police reports….is now demanding an apology from the City of Chicago and the authorities.

      Perps demanding apologies from those who defeat their crimes or evils, seems to be a trend. It had to happen after all of the other “apologies”… when nothing wrong was said or done…but apologies were demanded..and there was acquiescence to the demands.
      This is just the next “demand.”
