an interesting site

Hello,

There is an article in today's Gulf Times about the Arab influence in Spain. If you are interested in the topic that Ahmed started with his impressions and wonderful photographs from Al Hambra, you can check out The Islamic Culture Foundation (Fundación de Cultura Islámica, FUNCI) site on:

http://www.funci.org/en/

There are some interesting articles on The World of Science in Muslim Spain and Campaigning Against Forced Marriages.

Tell me what you think.

Regards,

Hi Free Pharaoh,

I've just read it and read Andrew's comment as well. Thank you both for bringing up those lessons in history (forgotten, not known?).

I must admit, I've always been more interested in culture than politics although everything today seems to be so politically charged and seems to carry the consequences of past events.

I also want to believe that people will find a way to reconcile with the past, that injustice will be redeemed but not through more injustice.

And to finish on a lighter note, I can't believe this is our blog???

WOW!!!

Warm regards,
ralitza
