Redefining Reconquista

Dhimmitude comes to Spain, where the town of Bocairent is abandoning its centuries-old celebration of the liberation of Spain from the Moors by blowing up large heads of Mohammed stuffed with fireworks. In an amazing of disingenuousness, the mayor, Antonio Valdes, said,

It just wasn't necessary, and, as it could hurt some people's feelings, we decided not to do it.
And then there's the little matter of people getting murdered and the town set alight by those who are "offended" that had nothing whatsoever to do with the decision.

That grinding sound you hear is El Cid spinning in his grave.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
