Qatar, Saudi Arabia to Islamize One of Europe's Greatest Cathedrals
The Gatestone Institute ^ | 7/18/17 | Giulio Meotti

* In Islamic symbolism, Córdoba is the lost Caliphate. Political authorities in Córdoba dealt a blow to the Catholic Church's claim of ownership of cathedral by declaring that "religious consecration is not the way to acquire property". But this is how history works, especially in the lands where Christianity and Islam fought hard for dominion. Why are secularists not pressing Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to give Christians back the Hagia Sophia? No one has raised an eyebrow that "Christendom's greatest cathedral has become a mosque".

* The Spanish left, governing the region, would like to convert the church into "a place for the meeting of faiths". Nice ecumenical words, but a death trap for the Islamic domination over other faiths. If these Islamists, supported by the militant secularists, will be able to bring Allah back inside the Cathedral of Córdoba, a tsunami of Islamic supremacism will submerge Europe's decaying Christianity. There are thousands of empty churches just waiting to be filled by the voices of muezzins.

* The Western attempt to free Jerusalem in the Middle Ages has been condemned as Christian imperialism, while the Muslim campaigns to colonize and Islamize the Byzantine Empire, North Africa, the Balkans, Egypt, the Middle East and most of Spain, to name but a few, are celebrated as a season of enlightenment.

---------------------------------------------------------

Muslim supremacists seem to have fantasies -- as well as a long history -- of converting Christian sites to Islamic ones. Take, for example, Saint-Denis, the Gothic cathedral named for the first Christian bishop of Paris who was buried there in 250, and the burial place of Charles Martel, whose victory stopped the Muslim invasion of France in 732. Now, according to the scholar Gilles Kepel, this burial place of most of France's kings and queens is "the Mecca.....

After 9/11 and the Euros' feckless response, I predicted here that we would see the day that some huge cheesey mosque would be built on the ruins of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. I'm sticking by my prediction.

By the same reasoning the moors should be invited to take over the southern three quarters of the Iberian Peninsula.

It's just the beginning. The Notre Dame de Paris, the Lincoln Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, the Sistine Chapel--they will all become mosques if present trends continue.

The Europeans asked for it. They're going to get it.

Quite sad

9/11 was a much greater victory for Islamic Supremacy and Caliphate than given credit for far beyond the death and destruction of that horrific day.

It was originally the Visigoth’s Catholic Basilica of Saint Vincent. The Muslims destroyed it in the conquest and had the materials used to build their mosque on the site.

But the Spanish took it back and made it a church again.

"a tsunami of Islamic supremacism will submerge Europe's decaying Christianity"

It's happening right now. It's just a matter of time before all of Europe is submerged. Post-Christian Europeans in their stupidity applaud it.

"There are thousands of empty churches just waiting to be filled by the voices of muezzins."

Europe is in the death throes of decadence.

Islam is rapidly filling the vacuum, and the greatest vacuum is between the collective ears of the Europeans--and the American Left.

God has blessed America--yet again--with ascendancy, clarity, goodness, and mental health in half its population. Give thanks, Americans, remain steadfast and good, and do not succumb to the evil and decadence of the Left!

God has shed His grace on thee, America! Do not take this lightly! Do not fail!

Meanwhile those pretending to be Catholic continue to teach and profess the Vatican II theology that Muslims and their faith should be esteemed.

Where is Charles Martel to again save Europe from the Muslims?
