According to Wilkepedia, The Moors and Spain were defeated by Christians who took over and converted many...hmmm...someone had the backing of a great powerful God by the looks of it...read the rest of your history book and maybe read a bit of old testament history where there are more examples of God backing people and nations to fulfill His plans. If a supposed Christian state was to fall, it's usually because they allow corruption to enter,...sound familiar? Seems to me the states are weakening in their confidence and are losing wordly respect. Pride cometh before downfall. God doesn't honour the proud, but the humble. We were at one time. Now we're haughty and cocky in our achievements and technology.
