 FREE In-depth report - Al Andalus - Spain
Nevertheless, violence against the Mozarabs was rare until the eleventh century, when the Christian states became a serious threat to the security of Al Andalus.

 Dhimmi Watch: "In 1492, we lost everything"
The lament over lost Andalus confirms my suspicion that Islam is incapable of doing anything truly creative or exercising any positive self-criticism.
Osama bin Laden uses what he calls the "tragedy of Al Andalus" as a rallying cry for his deadly brand of Islamic jihad against "the crusaders and Jews."

 Reflections from al Andalus [ Islamic Spain ] - Ummah.com
In the 10th century C.E, Hroswitha—Saxon princess and earliest known German poetess—wrote of Cordoba, the caliphal capital of al-Andalus, that it was: “the ornament of the world.” In the Age of Hroswitha, Islam and civilization were synonymous.
So those christians killed in cordoba were not martyrs but deserved death and even other christians felt ashamed of them.
Many of the corsairs and “Barbary pirates” were Andalusians, some of whom saw themselves not as pirates but as worthy fighters trying to get back the Andalus their forefathers had lost.

 Bin Laden's 'revenge' (against Spain) about 6 centuries old
In a letter claiming responsibility for last week's train bombings in Madrid, an Al Qaeda-linked group hinted at a historical grudge.
Laden has singled out Spain repeatedly for its backing of the US-led war in Iraq and its crackdown on Al Qaeda operatives since 9/11.
It was signed by the Brigade of Abu Hafs al-Masri, a group named after Al Qaeda's commander, who was killed in 2001 during the American bombing of Afghanistan.
