#4 I don't have time and space to detail the reasons the Muslims were expelled from Spain (revolts with massacres of Christain populations, Muslims acting as a fifth column for the Turks,jealousy of Old Christains who were not happy to see Muslims keep lands they had stolen thnaks to Sharia provisions, like testimony of non-Muslims not being equal to the one of Muslims, a man converting to Islam getting ALL heirloom and his Christian brothers getting nothing or the need to pay protection money to Muslims since they weren't allowed to defend their life and propetrty against Muslims.

#5 The Muslim chronicle about the consquest of Spain gloats about the enslaving of "thirty thousand women of great beauty". No if you think about it, if those women had been enslaved for say, cleaning dishes, their beauty would have been irrelevant. Their beauty mattered becauuse they were destined to be raped by the highest bider. Now the Moriscos want for Spain apologizing and indemnifying them. Forgive me if I think that negotiations should not be about what Spain pays to Moriscos but about what the Arab world pays to Spain. I suugest one oil well for each one of the raped women with Spain picking the wells of course.

#7 we should feel heartened by this. If it took them 500 years to conquer Spain, imagine how long it will take them to conquer the US...at least we won't be around.

#8 Ever notice how movements that wrap themselves in the "good old days" usually involve a bunch of losers and leads to a lot of pain and anguish for everyone else?

#9 how many centuries did they regress once they were back in Islam's clammy embrace? 5? 7?
A religion of Losers and Whiners and Fifth Columns? CAIR should be documented and catalogued so when the round up needs to begin, there's no delay

Nope, the conquest of Spain was very quick what took 784 years was the Reconquista

Historical notes: like Harold in England the King of the Wisigoths was warring in the North of his realm, he quickly went to the South to meet the invaders meaning that like Harold he went to battle with an exhausted and incomplete army and like Harold he was killed in the battle. The resulting confusion and the revolts of the Catholics against the Arian Wisigoths (1) allowed the Muslims to conquer Spain in very little time.

In 718 seven years after the invasion a small troop (a few hundreds at the most) of Muslims on a mop-up/plunder/tax-collection mission was ambushed at Lakes of Covadonga (North of Spain). This allowed the formation of a tiny Christian kingdom in the mounts of Asturias.

(1) Note: At one point the Wisigoths controlled both France and Spain (it was them who with help from the Romans crushed Attila) but they were Arian Christians and with time they became more and more intolerant towards Catholicism and persecuted their Catholic subjects. They ended losing the Gaule to the Franks (whose king had opportunately converted to Catholicism) in no small measure due to the revolts of their Catholic subjects. You would think that would have teached the Wisigoths a lesson and that in Spain they would relax their persecution of Catholics but no, they continued the same intolearant policy who had led to disaster in Gaule and got the same results. The Christian Kingdoms of the Reconquista didn't consider themselves as continuing the Wisigoths kingdom so for practical effects the Wisigoths disappeared.
