By contrast, the Muslims in Spain were colonial occupiers who called the territory Al-Andalus and imposed Arabic as the official language. Historians say their expulsion was a matter of decolonization.<\/p>\n<p>In any event, the descendants of Muslims expelled from Spain are believed to number in the millions\u2014possibly tens of millions\u2014and most of them now live in North Africa. Observers say that by granting citizenship to all of them, Spain, virtually overnight, would end upwith the largest Muslim population in the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the Iberian Peninsula was occupied by Muslim conquerors known as the Moors from 711 until 1492, when the Moorish <a title=\"Kingdom of Granada Wiki\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kingdom_of_Granada\" target=\"_blank\">Kingdom of Granada<\/a> surrendered to the Catholic Monarchs of Spain (Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon), in what is known as the Christian Reconquest.<\/p>\n<p>But the final Muslim expulsion from Granada did not take place until over a century later, beginning in 1609, when King Philip III decreed the <a title=\"Expulsion of the Moriscos Wiki\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Expulsion_of_the_Moriscos\" target=\"_blank\">Expulsion of the Moriscos<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Moriscos\u2014Moors who decided to convert to Catholicism after the Reconquest rather than leave Spain\u2014were suspected of being nominal Catholics who continued to practice Islam in secret. From 1609 through 1614, the Spanish monarchy forced an estimated 350,000 Moriscos to leave Spain for Muslim North Africa.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/soerenkern.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Expulsion-de-los-Moriscos.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5107\" src=\"https:\/\/soerenkern.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Expulsion-de-los-Moriscos-289x300.jpg\" alt=\"Expulsion de los Moriscos\" width=\"289\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soerenkern.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Expulsion-de-los-Moriscos-289x300.jpg 289w, https:\/\/soerenkern.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Expulsion-de-los-Moriscos.jpg 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 289px) 100vw, 289px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Today, up to five million descendants of the Moriscos are living in Morocco alone; there are millions more living in Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Mauritania, Tunisia and Turkey.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent <a href=\"http:\/\/genocidiomorisco.blogspot.com.es\/2012\/12\/la-nacionalidad-espanola-legitima-para.html\" target=\"_blank\">essay<\/a> published by the Morocco-based newspaper <em>Correo Diplom\u00e1tico<\/em>, the Morisco-Moroccan journalist Ahmed Bensalh wrote that the \u201cdecision to grant Spanish citizenship to the grandchildren of the Hebrews in Spain in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, while ignoring the Moriscos, the grandsons of the Muslims, is without doubt, flagrant segregation and unquestionable discrimination, as both communities suffered equally in Spain at that time. The decision could also be considered by the international community to be an historic act of absolute immorality and injustice\u2026This decision is absolutely disgraceful and dishonorable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bensalh then went on to threaten Spain: \u201cIs Spain aware of what might be assumed when it makes peace with some and not with others? Is Spain aware of what this decision could cost? Has Spain considered that it could jeopardize the massive investments that Muslims have made on its territory? Does Spain have alternatives to the foreign investment from Muslims if they ever decide to move that capital to other destinations due to the discrimination against Muslims?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bensalh is one of many Muslim journalists, historians and academics who are demanding that Spain treat Moriscos the same way it treats Sephardic Jews.<\/p>\n<p>Consider Jamal Bin Ammar al-Ahmar, an \u201cAndalus-Algerian\u201d university professor at the Ferhat Abbas University in S\u00e9tif in northeastern Algeria. Al-Ahmar has been engaged in a six-year campaign to persuade Spanish King Juan Carlos to identify and condemn those who expelled the Muslims from Al-Andalus in the fifteenth century. Al-Ahmar is also demanding that millions of descendants of the Moriscos expelled from Spain be allowed to return there.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abc.es\/20081130\/nacional-nacional\/intelectual-argelino-pide-recupere-20081130.html\" target=\"_blank\">letter<\/a> addressed to the Spanish monarch, Al-Ahmar calls for a \u201cfull legal and historical investigation of the war crimes that were perpetrated on the Muslim population of Andalusia by the French, English, European and papal crusaders, whose victims were our poor miserable people, after the collapse of Islamic rule in Andalusia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter speaks of \u201cthe injustice inflicted on the Muslim population of Andalusia who are still suffering in the diaspora in exile since 1492.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Al-Ahmar wants the Spanish monarch to apologize \u201con behalf of his ancestors\u201d and to assume \u201cresponsibility for the consequences\u201d this would entail. He says it is necessary \u201cto identify criminals, to convict retroactively, while at the same time to identify and compensate victims for their calamities and restore their titles.\u201d This process would culminate with \u201ca decree that allows immigrants to return to their homes in Andalusia, and grant them full citizenship rights and restoration of all their properties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Moroccan historian Hasan Aourid <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diariovasco.com\/agencias\/20140220\/mas-actualidad\/mundo\/historiador-marroqui-cree-espana-adopta_201402201311.html\" target=\"_blank\">believes<\/a> Spain has a policy of \u201cdouble standards\u201d vis-\u00e0-vis the Moriscos. Aourid\u2014who recently <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aujourdhui.ma\/maroc\/culture\/colloque-international-sur-%C2%ABle-morisque%C2%BB-de-hassan-aourid-100539#.UwYWJ7Soe71\" target=\"_blank\">wrote a novel<\/a>, entitled \u201cThe Moriscos,\u201d to \u201cremember the tragedy of those expelled from Al-Andalus\u201d\u2014told an audience at the <a title=\"Casablanca International Book Fair\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Salon-International-de-lEdition-et-du-Livre-SIEL\/257020104370594\" target=\"_blank\">Casablanca International Book Fair<\/a> that Spain cannot become \u201creconciled with itself without recognizing its Moorish dimension\u201d and asked if \u201cthe suffering was lower for Muslims than for Jews.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Association for the Historical Legacy of Al-Andalus, a group dedicated to reviving the memory of the Muslim presence in Spain, says the Spanish government should treat Muslims and Jews the same way. By failing to offer Spanish citizenship to both groups, Muslims would become victims of \u201cselective racism,\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elmundo.es\/espana\/2014\/02\/18\/5303aaf4ca4741055a8b457e.html\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> the president of the association, Bayib Loubaris.<\/p>\n<p>Spain is unlikely to concede to these demands anytime soon. While few deny there are potentially millions of descendants of Moriscos living in North Africa today, the challenge lies in reconstructing reliable genealogies to determine legitimate heirs.<\/p>\n<p>The issue of who is a Morisco and who is not will be a topic for discussion at a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.euroxpress.es\/index.php\/noticias\/2014\/1\/19\/congreso-internacional-los-descendientes-andalusies-moriscos-en-marruecos-espana-y-portugal\/\" target=\"_blank\">major international conference<\/a>\u2014\u201cThe Descendants of the Andalusian Moriscos in Morocco, Spain and Portugal\u201d\u2014to be held in Tangier from April 4-6, 2014.<\/p>\n<p>But even if such genealogies could be compiled, calls to naturalize the descendants of expelled Muslims are sure to be opposed for another reason: the fact that the expulsion of the Muslims was part of a war to end the occupation of Spain by North African invaders.<\/p>\n<p>Jose Ribeiro e Castro, a Portuguese lawmaker who drafted Portugal\u2019s law of return for Sephardic Jews, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jta.org\/2014\/02\/19\/arts-entertainment\/following-spanish-law-for-jewish-return-muslims-demand-equal-terms\" target=\"_blank\">puts<\/a> it this way: \u201cPersecution of Jews was just that, while what happened with the Arabs was part of a conflict.
