I heard on the news today that the Spanish Festivals Association is considering toning down this year’s celebration of the Moors and Christians Festivals, which celebrates the expulsion of the moors from Spain. During that news report a Moroccan immigrant was interviewed and said he was shocked about the festivals and that Spaniards need to learn to respect Muslims. However, they reported other Muslims in Spain consider the celebrations just a tradition and not meant to offend the Muslim religion. Anyway, the organizers of these festivals don’t want to give extremists any excuses and will not, as in previous years, burn or drag on the streets any Muslim figures.
