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."

has photos of the beautiful old mosaics.

The Muslims have an agenda , and they are patient.

We need to evangelize them ..

My Pastor is an expert on Islam. He began a series on Islam in a small start up church in a small town south of the city.

He requested that we pray very hard because Muslims came in numbers to his 1st presentation (must have been from the city) . I think they were there to intimidate him.

But many continued to come so we pray that at least one heard the truth and the gospel.
