You do know that vaginaphobia isn't a real thing, right?

You do know Kid, that your post on Vagina Attack would be considered quite offensive to any female reading it.

But then again, your disdain for women is common knowledge.

Oops. I forgot. Sorry for offending you.

[Kidlicious]

You know rah, most women wouldn't actually be offended by that. Maybe you should rethink your life.

[rah]

The fact that you think that kind of proves my point that you are simply clueless about it.

And once again you tried to insult me by insinuating that I was a woman.

That seems to be your most offensive insult. "You're a woman."

You must really hate them.

I actually pity you. Naw, I just think you're a women hating jerk.

[Kidlicious]

I didn't read your post rah. You suck.

[rah]

Of course you did. And you saw it was true so you did what you do with everything that doesn't jive with the Kidverse, You just deny it.
A sad little man.

no i mean southern spain, especially andalucia, granada and murcia. when the kingdom of granada was conquered in 1492, there were still significant muslims populations in valencia and as far north as aragon. at the beginning of the 16th century, there were around 1 million moriscos in spain out of a total population of 8.5 million.

And then the Duke of . . . Lerma, was it? Anyway, he kicked them out, and that caused a problem, since it turned out they were the ones who knew how to grow all the food. Who knew? It's rare to encounter a decision that works out so terribly for absolutely every single party involved. Congratulations, Duke!

Some, sure. Most? Nope. Aside from Granada (which is a subset of AndalucÃa).

As for growing food I find that hilarious, given that they were Christian lands in the first place. Christians had no problems farming the land.

i think you'll find they were carthaginian lands in the first place...

i'm not familiar with that, but the moriscos certainly formed an underclass after the reconquista and there were often ethnic, as well as religious, tensions between 'old' and 'new' christians.

In some areas with significant moorish populations, they did do a lot of farming. In other provinces they were such a tiny minority it made no difference. So yes, food production was trashed in some provinces when they were expelled.

I don't see it as a big deal that when you take land back that you expel the invaders. It's pitiful that people refer to this as ethnic cleansing. That's propaganda.
