You have a typical example of a wonderful architecture in the Alhambra.
All the walls they built in Spain are the remains of their agriculture.
In the residence where I live, I am surrounded with all the Moorish style houses which were the first ones built in this area.
This is a water tank just opposite my house. I call it the mosque because of its design, just to show that the Moors were here all over Spain.
As for them living underground? No, the ETs do!
I was just pointed out to Sands that, apart from their oil, they were great engineers and architects, as well as doctors, mathematicians and scientists.
By the way, on weekends, they built a few pyramids, palaces and temples and, more recently, in Spain they designed and built Christian churches.
This is not my opinion, but facts.
As a woman, I would much prefer a man who has been married ONCE for many years - other short term relationships are not so important! - rather than one who´s been married SEVERAL times.
I would wonder why he hasn´t got it right yet?
Mind you, Elizabeth Taylor was married 7 times..
And she ended up marrying Richard Burton a second time. Maybe because she realised her mistake?
Yay.
Don't take this comment personally. I'm copying and pasting to a bunch of blogs.
Don't let the haters win.
I'm feeling a little fragile. Everyone's shouting on the blogs and everyone's so angry and I want to help and there is absolutely nothing I can do and then I feel utterly futile and that depresses me and I start eating chocolate biscuits and
well it just all goes downhill from there.
Just go and watch something funny to bring back your energy level with some endorphins.
Of course the media wins as and energy flows where attention goes.
I don't watch the news nor read newspapers for that reason.
To all those that think all is rosy & it's just my imagination -
As Dave Allen used to say "may your god go with you" cause you're going to need him.
That's all from me bye.
Also, you can see here and on another post in the forum how absolutely clueless males from this culture are.
PS. I'm only here for the 100th post
Ignorant comment..
"WHY WAS A WESTERN WOMAN IN A MUSLIM STATE IN THE FIRST PLACE? SHE KNEW BETTER. SERVES HER RIGHT FOR BEING THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE"
So you have inside knowledge of what this woman did or didn't know, do enlighten us.
I suspect the reason she was there was that travel companies list this place a holiday destination, but then I don't have insider info like you so can't really say why she went, does why she was there make a jot of difference to the injustice she received
