Don't mention the Moors

Basil: Dont mention the Moors.  I mentioned them once but I think I got away with it.  Caesar Saladin, Qur'an Cocktail, Suet al-Tawbah and of course fillet of Infidel.  I mean, how can you be friendly to a religion that wants to behead everyone who isn't a Muslim.  Is this what we fought eight crusades for, Major?

Major Gowen: Dashed if I know, Fawlty.  Awfully good spin bowlers though some of those Muslims...

Sybil: Basil! As you well know like the whole of Surat al-Tawbah, the verse must be understood in the context in which it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his companions, and the passage must be read in a connected way, so it is clear to whom the verses are referring. This instruction was revealed to bring an end to a long struggle with the Makkan idolaters who had driven the Muslims out, and various battles which ensued over the following decade.

Basil: Oh, I'm wrong am I, my little Scheherazade?  I do apologise ladies and gentlemen.  There has been a gigantic cock up.  My wife Scheherazade ... Sorry Sibil is right and I am completely wrong about everything.  There have been a lot of cockups tonight and I'm glad to say that you all deserve an explanation and Manuel will give it to you.

Manuel : I know nothing.  I am from Barcelona like Mustafa and Elidenda ...
