Columbus owed it all to the Muslims

Remember, kids. It was Muslims who told Columbus how to get there.

This ridiculous propaganda scene is from the Spanish mini-series “Requiem for Granada”. In 1492, Granada, the last Muslim enclave in Spain, is under siege from the Christian forces of Ferdinand and Isabel. Christopher Columbus somehow sneaks through the battle lines to talk with a wise old Muslim, who gives him maps and tips on how to reach America.

  1. Where would the world be without those Muslim navigators, adventurers and explorers? Absurd and outrageous. I guess there is a new movie out with Judi Dench called, Victoria and Abdul, about Queen Victoria and her trusted Indian advisor?!?! See kids, brown people were always here. They were at the center of every great discovery and national decision, because behind every White achiever, there’s an even smarter brown person. We were always a melting pot because we’re a nation of immigrants!

  2. The only way in which Moslems had any role in Columbus’s efforts and those of King Ferdinand and Isabella of blessed memory as the Monarchs of Spain who freed their land from traitorous and hostile forces from both semitic peoples, was that, due to Moslem deprivations and attacks, Venice was severely restricted as a gateway to the East for trading purposes and, therefore, Columbus was commissioned by the Catholic Monarchs of Spain to find another, safer route to the “Indies.”
