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.
I envy the fact that you saw Notre Dame du Paris. Even though it is wrong to envy. You have been fortunate, my friend.
