Islam could change. If it were to follow the Christian pattern, it would need to undergo a reformation No, islam can not change. If it were to follow the Christian Reformation pattern it would adhere to a stricter reading of the koran not liberalize what the koran says. For islam to change it needs to back away from following what is written in the koran not follow it closer as the Christians did with the Bible in their Reformation.

Okay. I've been using III.
"Neanwhile" it does seem to be a World War...

No actually I am even wierder than that ... I would call it WW V ...
5 wars for universal concepts of Governance to pitted empires and alliances representing those models against eachother:
WW I was French Rev/ Napoleonic Wars (Nationalism asserted)
WWII was WW I (democracy v. autocracy/monarchy)
WWIII was WW II (war against fascism)
WW IV was Cold War (war against Communism)
WW V is GWOT (War Against Islamofascism)
Is that confusing enough????

It was a basilica before it was bulldozed for a mosque.
To: WOSG
I think your list has it for accuracy, but, silly stubborn me, I'm still going to call this one WWIII.

Go ahead, it still beats calling the terror threat "exaggerated" like Kerry does, or thinking it's a 'legal' problem handled by assistant lawyers in DoJ like Gorelick did.

What are you talking about?
The day westerners can practice religion in one of their countries without fear of death is the day we will share Christian churches with them.
And that day is never.

Why, thanks! ;-D

Not to mention that a certain stone structure in Mecca used to be used to worship the moon Gods and Mary mother of Jesus!!!! :-)
Really? When was the stone used to worship Mary? Thanks.

Fool Me Once, Shame On You. Fool Me Twice, SHAME ON ME! http://www.spaintour.com/heritage.htm#mosque
HISTORIC CENTRE OF CORDOBA
"The city of Cordoba lies on the right-hand bank of the Guadalquivir. It is the former capital of El Andalus, of the emirate and caliphate of the same name and has preserved many architectural sights of its past, especially its Mosque which became a part of the World Heritage List in 1984. The beautiful Parador of La Arruzafa overlooks the second most important city in the Guadalquivir Valley.
Where the Mosque stands today, there used to be a basilica consecrated to San Vicente in Visigothic times. When the Arabs conquered Cordoba in 711, the building was shared and divided into two equal parts for Muslims and Christians. This odd arrangement lasted until 784 when Abd al-Rahman I decided to build a new mosque at the site, a mosque which was finished by his son Hisham I in 790." (excerpted>
===========
It could have been located elsewhere. Obviously this was a typical example of the Muslim practice of taking over others' holy places for their own. |

"Not to mention that a certain stone structure in Mecca used to be used to worship the moon Gods and Mary mother of Jesus!!!! :-)"
"Really? When was the stone used to worship Mary? Thanks."
I read in a bio of Muhammed or related source that when Muhammed went into the Kibla, he removed all the symbols and statues of ALL THE GODS AND IMAGES except for the representation of Mary mother of Jesus.
This implies of course, that there was some veneration of Mary among the populace of Mecca. hmmmm.
Sorry dont recall the cite, maybe on answering-islam site.

OK, but only if Christians, Catholics and Orthodox, can worship in every former church converted to a mosque.
Lets not forget the Israelites now. Don't they have a religeous structure that's now a mosque??? ;-)

It was a mosque long before it was a cathedral,in fact the cathedral is built inside the mosque. Too bad. It's not a mosque anymore.
