How Large Is Man Dingo

memory is hot







Yesterday Sunday morning was held in the plaza of Granada Bibrambla a commemoration of the burning books written in Arabic, which occurred in the same square in 1502, under the auspices of the Cardinal-Archbishop, then there Jiménez de Cisneros.
This act, entitled Memory

Arde, was organized by the Open Platform
Granada, who has been working for twenty years several fronts - Day Takes for example, so that this city is, as it was the past, a lot of diversity and coexistence between different sensibilities and ways of understanding life. Acted as introducer Vigueras Francisco, chairman of the platform, giving way to the participants of different nationalities, who recited poems in Arabic and Castilian, and enlivened by jester
Javier Tárrega. Also spoke Puentedura
Francisco, Granada candidate Izquierda Unida Los Verdes in the upcoming municipal elections.


It was an event with massive assistance, but there it is a gesture like a song against barbarism that should never happen, and hopefully never be repeated anywhere. Recall that the intention of those who sponsored that iniquity was to eradicate the written trace of Islamic civilization, which both contributed to the era splendor. More than 5000 books, all manuscripts burned in embarrassing public pyre, and the column of smoke visible from many miles, tried to dispel a very extensive body of scientific, literary, artistic or philosophical, that for centuries Muslim intellectuals strove to collect. But remember here that the very Cisneros, author of barbarism, a few years later, terminally ill patient and the medicine "Catholic" doctors resorted to desperate Moors to save you from their evil.
take this opportunity to point out that the text circulated online to this announcement, and reiterated in a speech during the ceremony, mentioned 1499 as the date of this infamous fire. Somewhat inaccurate, as there is total consensus among experts in the
datarla February 23, 1502 (another 23 F), nine days after his famous pragmatic signed by Isabel I of Castile
, which decreed the forced conversion or exile for all Muslims of the ancient Kingdom of Granada. Pragmatic, incidentally, flagrantly violated the written agreement reached with Boabdil the November 25, 1491. That is, an outrage followed by a slight aberration. And that started the disaster: the absolute catastrophe for hundreds of thousands of citizens, and schizophrenia to a state not just absorb that indecent human catastrophe.
