Eis então a citação:
«(...) Yusuf b. Tashfin (d. 1106) led the Al-Murabit (Almoravid) Empire to conquer from western Sahara to central Spain. After the battle of Zallaqa in 1086, he had 24,000 corpses of the defeated Castilians beheaded "and piled them up to make a sort of minaret for the muezzins who, standing on the piles of headless cadavers, sang the praises of Allah." [22] He then had the detached heads sent to all the major cities of North Africa and Spain as an example of Christian impotence. The Al-Murabits were conquered the following century by the Al-Muwahhids (Almohads), under whose rule Castilian Christian enemies were beheaded after any lost battles. (...)»Fica magnificamente demonstrado, num parágrafo, que três mitos à volta do islão - religião de paz, minaretes como simples objectos arquitectónicos e o Al-Andalus como espaço de sã convivência entre cristãos e muçulmanos e de elevação civilizacional da responsabilidade destes - não passam de isso mesmo.
