The screen name is not a reference to the Alhambra. Obviously the OP is referring to the Islamic factor behind this, not the actual aesthetics of the Alhambra.

Yes. We must destroy anything with an Arab or Muslim sounding name, regardless of where it is located....

Pyramids now reside in Arab and Muslim countries. If you want to get picky, the terms New York, Pentagon, September and the number 11 are not American, either.
As for Islam, it is not a matter of "liking" Islam. It is a matter of being tolerant of other peoples' beliefs and recognizing that the actions of a fringe group aren't the same as the actions or beliefs of 1 billion people.

I'll have to respond to you later. Right now I have to pray to the east and then I'm taking the wives to Tyson's Corner.

I think it is a shame that Vince gets away from his typical rant to post something nice and the thread still devolves into a shit fest.

What else did you see in Spain? My grandparents were from Aragon and I really feel I owe myself a trip there sometime. Alhambra would definitely be on my list of places to visit. I've heard some great stuff about Barcelona, too.

What is it with middle aged women and that song. It's like The Bridges of Madison County or something.
