#3. To: redleghunter, Catholics fighting Muzzies since 700 (#0)
Catholics were pretty busy with a Muslim problem during those years, The Reconquista of Spain etc, which sort of morphed into the Spanish Inquisition. They did succeed in getting rid of huge numbers of Muzzies who had occupied the area for about 7 centuries.
I'm NOT sorry if that offends Chick. His blanket condemnation of all things Catholic is lame in the extreme.
Extent of the Reconquista into Almohad territory as of 1157.
