Andalus, again

Currently in circulation on jihadi forums...

...an e-Book about the first conquest of Andalus, AKA Spain, by Muslim armies, and the age of glory and wonder that followed. Tales of such "glory days" seem to play an important part in the mindset of the jihadist, and such a focus on the past (or future) rather than the present may well play a role in encouraging the jihadi to let go of the natural inclination to continue to live in the here and now.
