The enemy of my enemy is…..still my enemy. I might be able to take advantage of a temporary alliance, with temporary being an important factor in any outcome.
Ayuh. One of the most important lessons of WWII. Though of course it’s found everywhere, if not writ so large.

Oh, also the realization arrived at (in the movie) by Dick Tracy, to the confusion of his coworkers. Less known, but as a bonus, he put it just as you did.

The problem is that, since the Iberian Peninsula was Muslim-ruled from 703 AD to 1492 AD, when Ferdinand of Castile (aka of “and Isabella” and “Christopher Columbus’ bankroll” fame) kicked the last Muslim caliph out of Granada and back across the strait of Gibraltar in January ’92, Spain is by Islamic reckoning Islamic territory- forever.
Looting, pillaging, rape, murder and etc. are simply direct ways of collecting the jizya from the kuffar, the “unbelievers”, i.e. non-Muslims who don’t fork it over voluntarily as the Qur’an says they are required to do.
That is exactly what just happened in Ceuta. And it will keep happening, only worse, until Europe (especially Spain, France, Germany and the UK) comes up with smarter (and less corrupt and vote-hungry) Fearless Leaders.
Of course, with what we have here, we don’t have a lot of room to talk.

“Bad dream” implies unpleasant but fleeting and unreal.
“Nightmare” is a conscious playing out of horror…
We will see which we are living through.
