#1 I've seen a piece on Trump, which claims that such sentiments are widely shared among "Hispanics".

#2 are widely shared among "Hispanics".

El Cid jumps immediately to mind and an injunction about those who forget history.

Could it be that Hispanics have a more specific cultural memory?

#3 Only the Hispanics have towns named Matamoros (Dead Moor). Something, something, about the Reconquesta.

I think, it's more a matter of competition.

#5 Matamoros actually translates into "Kill the Moors", from the Spanish verb 'Matar' (to kill). Several cities and towns (and a few surnames) go by that or derivative thereof. Must have been a popular sentiment at one time or another.

'Moros muertos' would denote the Moors' previous passing.

#6 I stand corrected. It's even better in pointing out the PC insanity.

#7 Pageant organizers know the Muslims love to watch the ~~slave parades~~ beauty contests. No one's quite sure why it's so popular with them.
