Spaniards turned out in force to mourn their dead:
More than a million demonstrators jammed the streets of Madrid on Friday night, huddling beneath umbrellas in a steady rain to protest the train bombings that killed 199 people in the country's worst terrorist attack.
Millions more turned out in Barcelona, Seville, Valencia and other cities - including Spain's Canary Islands off the coast of West Africa.
Spanish officials initially blamed the Basque separatist group ETA for the stunningly well-coordinated series of 10 explosions Thursday during Madrid's rush hour. Later, they said they were studying a claim of responsibility by a shadowy group in the name of al-Qaida.
A million people who say no to Islamofascism. Not like the 300,000 in the Million Man March, or the 250,000 in the Million Mom March, there's no dispute that it was 1,000,000. Like the US, the aforementioned Europeans, and the Aussies, the Spanish have steel in their spines. A nation that lays down and accepts what happens to them will not be a strong nation for long.
