As far as I know islamic countries in general are not the best examples of how to run a country in a democracy which respects the Human Rights, that is more than true. Palestina is not an exception, that is true (for example they have executed disidents without a court). However, that is not an argument for what Israel is doing there.
I agree with you all, using religion as an excuse is always a big, big error. And the fact that Palestinians use it to make young people to inmolate themselves is repugnant. They also do it because they know that jews value to have the entire corpse when they are buried. They blast israelis to make they bodies pieces, it is doubly cruel.
As for converting a Mezquita to a church I think it is true. In medieval times churches were converted to mezquitas and viceverse. However, it was not really done as an act of humiliation as you may think. As far as I know it has a practical reason (the romanic churches had towers used as minaretes for the mezquitas, and chirstians and moslems respected the temples as sacred places even if they didn't were of their own religion).
As for arabs conquering the south of Spain as if this was an antique movie... Let's allow Ben Laden build his own psicotic fantasies.
It is true that at least 20 Al-Qaeda members (including 2 specially important) have been detained and jailed. It appears that Al-Qaeda had/has it's financial structure here. What a shame
Spain is not a refuge of terrorists, though it is true that some very rich criminals (weapon traficants, rusian mafia, etc) have been hiding in the Costa del Sol, the same way the rich europeans buy properties there and have their retirement. It was very easy for them to hide.
You may be sure of one thing: The public support for these kind of people in Spain is 0%. Is a shame for us to have this people along with us, and thinking that from our country they have managed to kill people.
