The Quran, al-Qur'ân , reading, is a universal monument to spirituality. His doctrine preaches peace and harmony, in awe to reflect on the azoras , in the translation that Vernet handled. It is not necessary to the alphachets who strive to soften the Quranic doctrine and adapt it to the times that are running. Salman Rushdie, in his book Satanic Verses , overlooked the real background of the Quranic teachings, although, of course, his death sentence was an atrocity.

In all major religions, and Christianity has not been an exception, fanaticized and violent minorities have developed. In recent years, jihadist terrorism has been a proven fact. From England to India, from France to Afghanistan, the attacks bloodied those societies. The screams of jihadist terrorism were also heard in Madrid and Barcelona.

A relevant sector of the Islamic world created in the Middle East, in recent years, a caliphate with universal ambition. An Italian who contemplates the aqueduct of Segovia is not awakened by feelings of vindication of times gone by. When a Spaniard is amazed at the cathedral in Mexico, imperial ambitions are not awakened in him. The Alhambra in Granada, the Mosque of Cordoba or the Seville Giralda do cause the desire for recovery in not a few Islamists. The new caliphate was defeated by weapons in Syria and Iraq . But that does not mean that jihadist terrorism is also defeated. Your cells remain active even if they lack the protection of Isis, the breath of Daesh.

We do not know the scope of jihadist activity in Europe because intelligence services not to alarm citizens keep secret attempts to attack. It is clear that Spain continues to be a preferred objective. The CNI knows. Jihadism terrorist cells are not asleep but active and threatening. If the folly of Pedro Sánchez and other politicians brighten up new elections, Spanish vulnerability will multiply. The shadow of 11-M is elongated. It seems that our intelligence services and our Security Forces maintain tension and vigilance. The real policy, in short, is to anticipate, not to cure.
