Arabs in Spain

Re: Arabs in Spain

There is a specific reason for that. There is a village in Portugal called Fatima, named after a Muslim Princess who was given in marriage by her father to a Christian King (she converted, obviously).

In the early 1900s, 3 Portugese children claimed to have seen a vision of Bibi Mariam (ra) just outside the village.

Ever since, some Catholics have named their daughters after the village.
