So I remember only about the "Moors" and the arches and the Spanish torturing people for ...I don't remember.. My Lutheran church classes before Confirmation gave a really good and not biased view of other faiths, but since I did not know, had never seen in person or on the screen any people who were Muslims, it rolled right over my head.
I really think religion is an impossible subject in public schools.

Do you remember that the Moors invaded and conquered Spain, then invaded France before they were defeated and eventually retreated back to the middle east?
