Muslims and Latinos

Regarding "Houston mosque embraces Latinos into family of Islam" (Page A17), I found it curious that article referred to "the deep connections between the Latino and Islamic cultures" including "a shared history, which dates back to the Moorish occupation of the Iberian Peninsula."

That "shared history" was the invasion of Europe by Islamists that subjugated most of modern day Spain and Portugal for nearly 7 centuries before being driven out.

Latinos might reflect on that and all of the modern day wars waged in the name of Islam before concluding they have so very much in common.
