| Arab League interested in Spain's 'alliance of civilisations' | ||
| 2004-10-21 | ||
Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos said yesterday the Arab League had asked him to formally present Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's proposal for an "alliance of civilisations" between the West and the Islamic world to its plenary session. Zapatero made the proposal to the United Nations General Assembly in September without going into detail. Moratinos told the senate Arab League Secretary-General Amr Mussa had written to him, asking him to present the proposal. Moratinos said Zapatero wanted to respond to the "enormous challenge" of establishing a political and diplomatic strategy to bring the two civilisations closer.

| #12 At least Petain didn't actually ally with Germany. Vichy Spain is breaking new ground. |

| #7 The world is going to separate into two parts. Those who wish to see people freed, justice becoming possible and those who will do anything to avoid a fight becoming one with those who whish to destroy or enslave everyone else. They will, within years, not decades, decide that America has spent her energy and wealth. When this happens they will try and divvy up the US between them. If this 'alliance of civilizations' has any success it is because it leads toward this goal of carving up the US for their profit. |

| #5 Step one, propose an alliance of productivity to include all honest citizens and all thieves. Step two, thieves reply "hmmmm, sure, come tell us more about it." Step three, come home to a looted house, burnt to the ground. |

| #4 Yes Steve, Zapatero is a stupid fish. Spains socialists have delusions of past grandure. Spain lost all significance as a world power when it cut and ran from Iraq. Of course the Arabs are falling all over themselves to get a dialogue going. How can they further undercut and subvert Spain into dhimmitude with out a "dialouge". Spains Catholic church better get on the stick and rope these nut balls in. The only room for other religions in relationship to Islam is under muslim feet. Their are no "equal" religions to islam under islamic doctrine. But since most socilialist have no religion they will just be plain old slaves. |

| #2 The middle east (particulary what is now known as Iraq) was known as the 'cradle of civilization'. ... at least before Islam corrupted it. It is permissible under Islam to enter into alliance with infidels as long as you remain 'true' in your heard and your own intent is to lure them into false security... or dhimmitude.... And least until you feel you are strong enough (and they are weak or trusting enough) that you can kill them. |

| #1 Funny, but when I think of the Middle East, the word 'civilization' doesn't immediately spring to mind. Or even after long and careful thought... |
