Leftist Politician Praises Islamic Al-Andalus, Accuses Spanish Monarchy of ‘Genocide’ Isabel Franco: “In Al-Ándalus three cultures coexisted. It was the Spanish monarchy that caused an enormous invasion, genocide and concealment.” What will be the outcome of this cultural self-hatred? National destruction, and it won’t be long now. For the reality of al-Andalus, which is quite far from what Isabel Franco describes, see The History of Jihad.
