"When we stand in the garden and look out at the Alhambra, we tell people what they see is not something built by Arabs but by the people of Granadaby their own forebears, who were Muslims and spoke Arabic, said Malik Ruiz, a local engineer who is the president of the mosque and president of the Islamic Community in Spain."

He probably says something similar about the cathedral, too.
I’d still like to see the place, preferably before the reconstitution of Al-Andalus into the restored Caliphate.
As an aside, when I was in Paris a while back with my adult daughter, we were talking about the Cathedral of Notre Dame du Paris. There was a long line to get in, and we were debating whether it was worth waiting. We decided to wait. I remember thinking at the time that I would never gaze upon it once the minarets are erected, so I’d best take the opportunity while I had it.
