True indeed, fuck it, JihadIn the eight century Muslims conqueredSpain, Portugal and France and controlled it for 700 yearsThey never mention this in history classcause o'fays are threatened when you get the real lessonMoors from Baghdad, Turkey threatened European ChristiansMeaning, the white way of life; hence the Crusades for Christ -Rass Kass-this is off subject but Ras Kass is a little mistaken here. I don't know about the rest of you but we were taught this quite thoroughly where i went to school. its just not taught in the repetitious manner that american history is taught in this country

I don't know about the rest of you but we were taught this quite thoroughly where i went to school. its just not taught in the repetitious manner that american history is taught in this countryI never heard a word of it in school. I never heard the word Islam or Muslim or anything the whole time I was in school. We had alot of European history but I never heard about Islamic Spain. I heard about Queen Isabella but I never heard about the Spanish Kalipha Abdul-Rahman and the Ummeyad Dynasty. I heard alot about Martin Luther King but I never heard a word mentioned about Malcolm X. None of this was even in the textbooks. The only time I ever heard anything related to Islam in school, was when I was in 3rd grade during the first gulf war, our teacher told us that Muslims stopped everything they were doing 5 times a day and prayed and that the women lowered their gazes and men and women didn't stare at eachother.It's because they purposely want to hide the truth. Don't believe me? I have a Columbia encyclopedia in my apt. I browse through it all the time. Now, you would think a Columbian encyclopedia would be dedicated to presenting the facts. Well, guess what. I looked up Palestine. They talk all about Palestine and then they suddenly stop in 1947. They just stop right before the most important event in Palestinian history, which is when in 1948 the white powers of the world got together and decided to officially kick Arab Muslims off their land and create the country Isreal as a Jewish homeland. British, America, The UN, totally wiped Palestine off the map and created Isreal and there is no mention of this in an encyclopedia! I then looked up Isreal and it made no mention of how Isreal was created in 1948 on a land that had been occupied by Arab Muslims for nearly 1,000 years.
"Beginnings of the Israeli State The state of Israel is the culmination of nearly a century of activity in Zionism. Following World War I, Great Britain received (1922) Palestine as a mandate from the League of Nations. The struggle by Jews for a Jewish state in Palestine had begun in the late 19th cent. and had become quite active by the 1930s and 40s. The militant opposition of the Arabs to such a state and the inability of the British to solve the problem eventually led to the establishment (1947) of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine, which devised a plan to divide Palestine into a Jewish state, an Arab state, and a small internationally administered zone including Jerusalem. The General Assembly adopted the recommendations on Nov. 29, 1947. The Jews accepted the plan; the Arabs rejected it. As the British began to withdraw early in 1948, Arabs and Jews prepared for war."Taken from The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition.http://www.bartleby.com/65/is/Israel.html

They stop at 1948, and they don't continue to mention the most significant event which is the destruction of Palestine, driving millions of Palestinians off their land, and replacing them with Jews for the creation of Israel.
Try reading the next paragraph (it's on the link I posted);"On May 14, 1948, when the British high commissioner for Palestine departed, the state of Israel was proclaimed at Tel Aviv. Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and Iraq invaded Israel, as most Palestinian Arabs were driven from Jewish territory. By the time armistice agreements were reached (Jan., 1949), Israel had increased its holdings by about one-half. Jordan annexed the Arab-held area adjoining its territory, and Egypt occupied a coastal strip in the southwest, including Gaza."

It says Palestinian Arabs were driven from Jewish territory. As if the Palestinian Arabs were invading Jewish land or something. Then later it mentions that Isreal, supposedly out of nowhere, increased its' holdings by about one-half.
