| Spanish soldier arrested over Islamist videos |
| 2009-02-18 |
| A Spanish soldier and his Russian girlfriend were arrested on Tuesday for posting videos on the Internet calling for Islamist attacks in Spain, the National Police said. Christian Peso Ruiz and Maria Choubina, both 24, were arrested in the city of Granada in Andalusia over the videos, which called for the recovery of territories in Spain -- known as Al Andalus -- which were under Muslim rule for hundreds of years, the police said in a news release. "They wanted to use the Internet to distribute messages to encourage people in the Muslim world to carry out terrorist attacks in Spain, mixing nostalgic calls for the liberation of Al Andalus with praise of terrorists," the police said. The pair posted up to 11 videos which received more than 2,000 hits. |

| #5 Btw, spanish muslim converts are supposed to be very active, especially in latin america. There's one group in particular, whose name I actually knew, but my mind is rotten by pr0n, which is an "historical" muslim converts org (sometime in the late 70's/80's, not from the post-2001), which evangelizes latin america, stressing the "muslim roots" of latin people, targeting native indians,... this is the theory to which hugo chavez once referred to, when he spoke of those "muslim roots" (not that he cares much, since he's an ethnonationalist demagogue blaming whitey and courting injuns). Very unsurprisingly, this group originated in leftists who opposed Franco (though not very successfully, obviously), and became disenchanted when Change™ & Hope™ came, and this wasn't the marxist Utopia they thought would come. Some people just don't like Western civilization commies foremost. |

| #4 "christian" and "maria"??? Weird. When I read the title, i thought it may be a moroccan soldier from the spanish foreign legion, but this one is weird? Did they convert, and only their actual names are given, not their new muslim (IE arab) ones? |

| #3 Don't charge him, just ship him and his "girlfriend" to Pakistan on a one-way ticket. I'm sure they'd be welcomed with open arms in the NWFP. |
