Calls to
reconquer al-Andalus are becoming more frequent and more strident.
"Clearly
Spain forms part of the strategic objectives of global jihad. We are not the
only ones but we are in their sights." — Spanish Interior Minister Jorge
Fernández Díaz.
Radical Muslims in Spain have launched a social media campaign aimed at
generating support for the jihadist group Islamic State [IS].
The campaign involves posters that include images of famous Spanish
landmarks and monuments emblazoned with Arabic slogans such as, "We are
all the Islamic State" and "Long Live the Islamic State."
One poster includes an image of the medieval Islamic Aljafería Palace in
the Spanish city of Zaragoza and the black flag associated with the IS.
Another uses an image of the famous La Concha beach in the Basque city of San
Sebastián. Yet another includes an image of the statue of Jesus Christ on
Monte Urgull in San Sebastián, with the Arabic words "Al-Andalus
Country" instead of "Basque Country."
