<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The Muslims suffer from Andulas-syndrome: the sense of loss of which the Muslims became a carrier, when our civilisation collapsed in Spain in 1492, leaving a permanent trauma and a sense of bewilderment.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
This is nonsense. No sub-continental Muslim had any connections to Andulusain Spain. Hence the so called loss did not effect them. If it did they would not have given trading rights to the Europeans. I submit that the European colonialism has stopped the 'reconquista' that was going on in India through the Mhrathas and the Sikhs.
I also submit the learned Prof Mahsud learnt of the loss of Spain from modernism. In fact if Andulusia was lost in 1492, in the same centruy in 1456, Istanbul was gained and Ottomon Turkey became an Empire that lasted till 1919. That should count as a gain. His bewilderment at loss of Muslim Spain should be matched by the joy of gaining Istanbul and the collapse of Byzantium Empire.
Unless the Prof is worried about Andulsian Spain as last vestige of Arab supremacy not repeated again since then.
For those who dont know the Spanish Moors claim descent from the Arabs and are not really Moorish.

Also how can he quote the poem which describes free will and be a Muslim? Isnt that an oxymoron? Hasnt Allah foretold what is the right way for a Muslim?
I think the guy is RAPE angusihing in how he cant be a 'true' Muslim.
