 | | Al Andalus--Andalusia--would become a deep wound, a reminder of dominions gained by Islam and then squandered. | | | In the legend of Moorish Spain, the last Muslim king of Granada, Boabdil, surrendered the keys to his city on Jan. 2, 1492, and on one of its hills, paused for a final glance at his lost dominion. | | | Men came into bilad al kufr (the lands of unbelief), but a new breed of Islamists radicalized the faith there, in the midst of the kafir (unbeliever). |

| | 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. | | | Pressure from the puritanical Berbers also led to crackdowns on Mozarabs (name for Christians in Al Andalus: literally, Arab-like) and Jews. | | | Al Andalus, as Islamic Spain was called, was organized under the civil and religious leadership of the caliph of Damascus. |

| | Bin Laden's 'revenge' (against Spain) about 6 centuries old |
| | The Al Qaeda chief has a penchant for historical symbolism, and in the Islamic world few symbols are as resonant as the 15th century downfall of the Muslim empire of Al-Andalus, centered in modern-day Spain. | | | 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. |

| | A stream of Jewish philosophers, cross-fertilizing with Muslim philosophers, (see Joint Jewish and Islamic Philosophies) culminated in the most important Jewish thinker of the Middle Ages, Maimonides (1135-1205), though he did not actually do any of his work in Al-Andalus, as, when he was 13, his family fled persecution by the Almohades. | | | The same can be said with reference to Hercules and the Amazons whose island, according to Arabic commentaries of these Greek and Latin legends, was located in jauf al-Andalus — that is, to the north or interior of the Atlantic Ocean. | | | An etymology was advanced recently by H. Halm in "Al-Andalus und Gothica Sors", in Welt des Orients, vol. |
