New Europe, New West

The first thing that the armies of the Religion of Peace (c) did after the death of Mohammad in 632 AD, was to expand his conquest of Arabia with a huge century-long war of subjugation, colonialism and imperialism. The Muslim world of North Africa, the Middle East, as far as Afghanistan and India...all became such by the sword.

Included in that first wave of expansion was Southwestern Europe. The French under Charles Martel managed to drive them back across the Pyrenees at Poitiers in 732. With the exception of a thin strip of land along the Iberian peninsula's north, the Roman Christian and then Visigothic Christian lands of Hispania were turned into Al-Andalus, part of the Caliphate of Cordoba.

Over the next 700 years, the Native Peoples pushed back in their Reconquista until finally, in 1492, the last Moorish stronghold in the south was re-taken and Islam was driven out of Spain. During that long war, one of the patrons of the Christians was the Apostle St James, whose reputed tomb at Compostela is a place of pilgrimage. One of his aspects was Santiago Matamoros, St James the Moor-Slayer, advocate for the Spanish in battling against Islam. Here is his statue in his cathedral, slaying Muslims.

Now, in the New Spain, the part of the enlightened and liberal New Europe, where secular highmindedness has replaced primitive Christianity, we have --courtesy of B, who sent this pic-- Santiago Cortaflores, Saint James the Florist, with the reality of both Spanish history and human life covered over in a spray of pastel denial. Lest, of course, any Muslims be offended. Inside a Catholic cathedral.

There are now 1 million Mohammedans in the land that many generations of Spaniards died to expel.
