Mayoral Arqu\u00e9, defended in 2009 (read here <\/a>in Spanish) that in Spain there is a hidden curriculum in the school education.

In this article, \u201cBetween the Clich\u00e9 and the Prejudice. Islam and the Arab World in the Spanish Educational System\u201d, the well known Arabist, Gema Mart\u00edn Mu\u00f1oz, analyzes how the students study the Spanish Andalusian history and the Arab and Muslim world in general. The first thing that the author highlights is how\u00a0the relation between Europe and Islam is portrayed, always in terms of antagonism and confrontation, \u00a0and how the historical process is pictured as a continuous dynamic of confrontation: the fight of Bizancio against the Islamic Empire; Christian Kingdoms against al- Andalus; of the Ottoman Turks against Europe; Arabic or Islamic nationalism against the West, among others.<\/p>\n

As for the history of Andalus, the relation between the advance of Islam and its arrival to the Iberian Peninsula is presented with the ideas of \u201cbreakdown\u201d and \u201cdestruction\u201d of the Mediterranean unity. Barely do the contents\u00a0take a look to\u00a0the Caliphate of Al-Andalus neither the relations and exchanges that took place in the Christian and Muslim Kingdoms. In other words, the study of this period is mostly superficial and determined\u00a0by wars: restricted to the period of the so-called Reconquest.<\/p>\n

These ideas are empowered by a deep\u00a0ethnocentrism that presents the West ideals like the only reference points, opposing them to those ideals present in Islam and underestimating the contributions that Islam has realized in the West and the shared values of both civilizations.<\/p>\n
