I told you I am a religious fundamentalist, which means I don't believe that all religions are equally "beautiful" and valid. I believe Mashiach will come, defeat all G-d's and Israel's enemies, and establish the Kingdom of G-d on earth. There is no room for mosques in such an arrangement. All false religions and false "gxds" will be destroyed and all mankind will worship the One True G-d.
This may be far outside your way of thinking.
Wow, I think it actually is :-)
I told you that the American religious mentality is very different from the European one (apparently, even the eastern European one).
Just saw Schindler's List over the weekend. In a movie that has many chilling and haunting scenes, Amon Goethe's speech prior to the "cleansing" of the Krakow ghetto always gets to me.
"Today will be remembered. Years from now the young will ask with wonder about this day. Today is history and you are part of it. Six hundred years ago when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the Black Death, Kazimerz the Great, so called, told the Jews they could come to Krakow. They came. They trundled their belongings into the city. They settled. They took hold. They prospered in business, science, education, the arts. They came here with nothing. Nothing. And they flourished. For six centuries there has been a Jewish Krakow. Think about that. By this evening those six centuries are a rumor. They never happened. Today is history."
Thank God that he always allows a remnant to exist, to remember, and to repopulate.
