The date was Oct.
30, 1991 and the venue was Madrid, Spain. American New World Order
diplomacy eventually succeeded in bringing Muslim Arab countries to
their knees. They were forced to negotiate a peace agreement with the
Jewish occupied state of Israel. now LET'S
GO 500 YEARS BACK IN HISTORY. It was on Nov.
25, 1491, in the same land of Spain, where a similar "Peace Agreement"
was brokered at Gharnata, which is situated 200 miles South of Madrid.
Here too, a Muslim Arab leader, Abu Abdullah Muhammad, ruler of the
last Spanish Muslim state, succumbed to pressure because of constant
siege, fear of hunger and starvation. The Muslim Arab ruler affixing
his signature on an agreement to bring peace, agreed to lay down arms
before armies of Ferdinand and Isabella, then rulers of Christian
Spain. By virtue of this agreement, Abu Abdullah promised to hand over
Gharnata, the castle of Al-Hamra and all weapons to Christians within
60 days.

Interestingly, all talks that took place between Abu
Abdullah and his advisers regarding the peace agreement were kept
secret as was done in the recent Madrid talks.
On seeing the conquering armies enter Gharnata, Abu
Abdullah got down from his horse, held its reins in his hands and most
humbly handed over the keys of the city to the Christians, saying,
"these keys are the last symbols of Muslim power in Spain. Take them
because according to God’s pre-determination, our lives, our country
and our possessions are all yours. I hope you will deal with us in the
manner you promised." Ferdinand assured Abu Abdullah that "He will
fulfill all promises made to the Muslims"
(Ehsan-ul-Haq in Muslim Europe, pp. 293)
A silver cross was displayed on the highest point of
Al-Hamra and a gradual but discreet process was initiated to remove
vestiges of 781-year-old Muslim rule over Spain. The peace agreement
had guaranteed Muslims:
- Protection of
person and property;
- Their right to
practice their religion;
- To wear their
local costume;
- To speak their own
language;
- To adopt their own
rites and celebrate their festivals;
- To decide their
matters according to the Shari’ah;
- Their custody
shall remain over Mosques and Auqaf; and
- No tax will be
deducted from Muslims for Urce years and even after that no new tax
will be imposed
The
Christian rulers never intended to fulfill promises they had made to
one as loyal and faithful as Abu Abdullah. He had been promised rule
over the area of Al-Basharat, but instead was banished to Morocco.
Muslims were given options either to embrace Christianity or face
extermination, as cruelty towards them had become order of the day. In
1499, Muslims who refused to change faith were ordered to leave Spain.
In 1502, all rogue Muslims were ordered to be executed. This way, all
Muslims, excepting those who adopted Christianity, were either burnt
alive, murdered, or expelled from Spain. In short span of a few years
following the 1491 Peace Agreement, not a soul in Spain professed faith
in Allah and the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The agreement had thus
annihilated remains of Muslims from territory where they had
magnanimously ruled for over 781 years. |
