Is it reasonable to expect that they exclude Kosovo, Albania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Bosnia, Greece, Sardinia, Sicily, Spain and Portugal from the Caliphate?
As I understand it, Spain is counted as 'Islamic' territory by al-Qaeda. It was Muslim for 200-700 years, depending on which bit you mean.
Of course, that was finished at least 520 years ago but I don't think we're dealing with the most modern of thinkers here. I don't think arguing that much of the Balkans were not Muslim until well after Spain was Catholic will really work :)
Hence 'reasonable', as in 'persuaded by reason', not really a usable stance here. Correct, just not usable... |
