Islam in modern Spain?

Hi!

I'm not in a position to write on this with authority, but can the article not be expanded to include the resurgence of Muslim communities in Spain in the years following joining the European Union?

Merge with (the much longer) Al Andalus?

surely?Johnbod 18:33, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You must mean Al Andalus ("Islamic Spain" is a redirect). It seems evident to me: all what this article is about is alredy there (and, if not, it should). --Sugaar 18:15, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, sorry- noticed afterwards - that's what I meant; have changed the heading here accordinglyJohnbod 00:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I also support a merger, having the same topic twice is useless. Please merge. --Arabist 10:54, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's not necessarily the same topic - there are over a million Muslims in modern Spain, and there are similar articles about the presence of Islam in European countries. I had asked before if someone more familiar with modern Spanish Islam could be called upon to contribute, and if someone so qualified could do so, this article would have a more solid reason for remaining unmerged. --Nerroth 00:50, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it's not the same topic. Al-Andalus was a specific period in the history of Islam in Spain. After the fall of Al-Andalus there was still Islam in Spain and the current history, of course. Misheu 09:01, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

some points

Excuse my english.

"Islam has had a fundamental presence in the culture and history of Spain. The religion was dominant from 711 AD until 1492 "

This is inacurate, only about 1/5 of the peninsula was in moorish hands by early XIII century and most of the moors under christian dominion either converted or fleed.

Also it says "As of 2007, an estimated 3% of Spaniards are Muslim." but there is no reference link. Spanish gobernment, EU and even media like The Economist give numbers of about 0.5 millions (1.1 - 1.2 %) wich concordes with the number of morocan and other muslim countries inmigrants.

So how many percent of the population of Spain is muslim TODAY`?

Why doesn't the article give any answer to that question?
