Down with Spanish Names

[El_Jibaro]

I see that the only trick in your bag left is spin. Why am I not surprised...?

You did say that the Arabic influence is big. Well, how big?

Not big enough!

By the way, the people that inhabited southern Spain were ethnically Moroccan, which is not an Arabic ethnicity. Arabs are Semites, speakers of an Eastern Semitic language, Moroccans are a Hamitic people, speakers of a Hamitic language closely related to Coptic [old Egyptian].

You will be surprised about architecture: not everyone can afford to build an "Alhambra". Remember, Andalucía only makes up 20% of the territory of Spain, and even Castille by itself is bigger than Andalucía.

When you see a typical Spanish house what you see is a Roman house [even the indoor patio is a feature of the typical Roman villa]. When Arabs took over the southern portion of the Roman Empire they just absorved Roman architecture. Even domes, a feature of Arab architecture are just an evolution of the Byzantine Domes: not an innovation. The most famous mosque in Istambul was actually a Church built by an Eastern Roman Emperor (Constantine?): it was called the Church of Santa Sophía; remember Istambul was Constatinople before the Turks conquered it.

So we can go back and forth: you assuming the Arab influence to be huge, and me disproving your assertions with facts.

Anyway, the Spanish Culture is our main Culture, not the Arabic culture. Admit it panita, you really have a fixation with Islam.

Mira
Aqui los unicos que son puro Americanos son los indios. Asi que no vengas con ese tema, ni inventes pues los que actualmente se llaman "AMERICANOS" son desendientes de immigrantes del Viejo Mundo (ejemplo: Europa) Deberias de estra orgulloso.

Defenetly I agree with you in a way becuse Spain was over ruled by the Arabians and half of the things they did to the Tainos and Blacks were from that decent. Anyway the must beatuful thing a person has its is name in any leanguge. The only r=thing that will never chage from one lenguge to another is you name. Be proud of who you are and try to give the best of you.
