“Spain is the land of our forefathers, and, Allah willing, we are going to liberate it, with the might of Allah.”
There Was No Islamic “Golden Age”

Long after the official expulsion of the Moors in 1497 (not in 1492, which is the date often given for Muslims as well as for Jews), many lived on, as secret Muslims, and then, in the next century, there were not only armed revolts, but appeals by Muslims to the Padishah in Constantinople for military assistance. Spanish fears of Moorish attempts at re-conquest were not baseless; their treatment of the inoffensive Jews was quite another matter.
The two Muslims talking in the clip — converts? to the manner born? – lived in, possibly were born and raised in, Spain, and are now in Syria, which they mistakenly, from the Musilim point of view but out of Spanish habit, call “la tierra santa” (the Holy Land). They are Muslim versions of Beavis and Butthead, except that they are Beavis and Butthead with guns and suicide vests, ready to conduct Jihad so as to bring Right Rule — the Shari’a — to everywhere on earth. And Al-Andaluz is high on the Muslim To-Do List. A little clip, a little reminder.

Richard Barrett, a former counter-terrorism chief with the British foreign intelligence service, told Agence France-Presse:
“Baghdadi has done an amazing amount – he has captured cities, he has mobilized huge amounts of people, he is killing ruthlessly throughout Iraq and Syria. If you were a guy who wanted action, you would go with Baghdadi.”
“There Was No Islamic “Golden Age””
Great short tape.
How can there be a Golden age of Islam when they are fighting and destroying most of the time,whether it is Europe or Asia or India.
Where did they have TIME for a Golden Age?.
Where is the Golden Age (if there was one) of Islam today?
All of the world’s major conflicts today have to do with Islam,
and the conflicts are never ending!
I heard Robert Spencer compare Islam to a shark that must keep moving and invading new territory — or it will die.
That helped me to understand why Islam has sometimes _seemed_ to have a “Golden Age”.
Islam is parasitic on real civilisations. For a while, after it bites into a host civilisation, it has plenty of resources; loot and skilled servants. Once it has bled its host dry, the “Golden Age” is over, unless it can find a new source of booty; conquer more territory.
The Islamic clerics at Al Azhar for example know this; IIRC, (at least) one was recorded by MEMRI telling his students that the reason for poverty among Muslims is their failure to continue with jihad.
100 % correct Julie. islam is a parasitic virus – your comparison is accurate.
