But wait a minute. The pope kissed the koran , and the FR Catholics tell me they worship the same God..How can this be?

Once the Muslims become a force in Italy because of the Italian low birthrate..they just might turn the Vatican into a mosque

Hope I'm gone by then. It wouldn't be surprising, given the fact that it happened in the past to one of the great churches of Byzantium.

"Documents indicate that the first Hagia Sophia was built by Emperor Constantius, son of Emperor Constantinos I, and was opened for services in 360 AD.

"Originally, Sophia, which means "Holy Wisdom", was a name given to Christ by 4th century theologians.

"When the Turks conquered Constantinople in 1453, the church was converted into a mosque, a place of Islamic worship."
