"The problem with the Muslim's appeal to the historical use of the Cathedral as a mosque is that it has no logical stopping point. Spain, North Africa, and much of the middle east were Christian for seven centuries before they became Muslim. As the Pope correctly pointed out, under the Muslim's logic, he would be entitled to assert rights in virtually every significant or historic mosque in these areas."
And it goes both ways, that wonderful Hagia Sofia (sp?) in Constantinople, and there is certain Mosque in Jerusalem that used to be the holiest temple in Judaism... Not to mention that a certain stone structure in Mecca used to be used to worship the moon Gods and Mary mother of Jesus!!!! :-)
