Brotherhrolf earlier posted the news story about the Spanish Islamic Board’s attempts to obtain permission to pray in the cathedral of Córdoba once more. It is not the first time they have attempted this, so the Boards’ president Mansur Escudero is lying if he is saying that they were inspired to make the request by Pope Benedict’s visit to the Blue Mosque in Constantinople. If you missed that story, here’s the BBC’s rundown that Brotherhrolf posted:

Now check out this article from Britain’s “The Independent” newspaper:

Muslims consider the Iberian peninsula–all of the Iberian peninsula, including Portugal and the northern regions that they never successfully controlled-- Al-Andalus, part of the dar al-Islam, or the “house of Islam”. The reconquest of the peninsula by the descendants of the Christians slaughtered and enslaved in the Muslim conquest of the peninsula is a disgrace which calls for revenge. According to Islamic religious beliefs, once a land is conquered by Islamic armies, it belongs to the Muslims forever. If the *kafir *succeed in wresting control of that territory from the ummah, then they must make war on the unbelievers until the territory is regained.
The Muslim invasion of Spain (and the rest of Europe) is occurring once more. Taking advantage of secularism and rampant materialism, they are pressing their advantage, particularly in places like Spain. A few years ago, a new mosque was completed in Granada atop the *Mirador de San Cristóbal *. It looks out over the Alhambra palace on the other side of the valley. The significance of this is that Granada and its magnificent Alhambra are where the Reconquista were finally brought to a successful conclusion by Queen Isabel and King Ferdinand, the Catholic Monarchs. Granada is one of the cities in Spain which currently boasts a large Muslim population, and that population is growing via immigration and birth. The choice of Granada is therefore extremely significant.
And the Socialist party which currently governs in Spain iseems eager to collaborate with the re-Islamization of the Spanish nation. They wished to eliminate Religion as a subject in Spanish schools but were ultimately unable to do so. They had to settle instead for stripping it of academic weight… it now doesn’t count in the calculation of the students’ marks. They also instituted a mandatory “Civics” course to counteract courses in Catholic doctrine and morality. The course defends abortion, contains information about “alternative sexualities” indoctrinates students in the acceptance of homosexual behaviour, equates “gay matrimonies” with heterosexual ones and defends the adoption of children by homosexual couples. All pet projects of the Socialist party, and all under the guise of “promoting tolerance and respect for diversity.” But while attacking the Catholic Church and trying to undermine any influence it might still have in Spanish society, they seem to be doing everything they can facilitate the spread of Islam under the guise of “helping immigrants to integrate into society”.
The Socialist party, which has held power and governed in Andalucia since the beginning of the democracy in 1978, has turned over a large piece of property in Sevilla for the construction of the largest mosque in Europe… in a neighbourhood in which the vast majority of its residents are Christian and who are very vocally opposed to the mosque’s construction. With one breath they argue that public schools should be completely secular and that religious education should be eliminated from them entirely, yet they promote the introduction of Islamic religious instruction for Muslim children.
And some segments of the Catholic population are no less blind. A Catholic publishing company in Spain recently published a religion textbook which explains Islam to children. Incredible. *Of course *Muslim children should have textbooks which instruct them in their religious faith and practises, but a Catholic publishing company has no bloody business helping to spread a faith that is not Christ’s!
I could go on and on. I’ll just end this overly-long little missive on the Feast of the Epiphany (Praise Jesus Christ, the True Light of all nations and the only Saviour of the world) by saying this: it’s upsetting and infuriating and Spain is not the only place where this is occurring, but we have brought it upon ourselves. We need to be a missionary Church once more. We need prayer, penance and mortification! We need to preach Christ Crucified. We need to be converted ourselves, and then we need to pray and work for the conversion of those who do not know Him! No more shame-faced, embarrassed mumblings in the name of multi-culturalism please, we need to proclaim the Gospel. We even need to use words to do it if necessary.
Now I’m off to confession and Epiphany Mass… Merry Christmas everyone!
