Can't wait to see how high the minarets are. I could never live in a neighborhood dominated by minarets

So when do we get to build a church in Saudi Arabia?
If you are in a culture war, you don't win by surrendering.
Either we get the right to build churches there, or they don't get mosques here.
Otherwise, it's a case of "what's mine is mine, and what's yours is negotiable".

Just wait until you hear the caterwauling from those minarets at the crack of dawn.

Another small step on the path to becoming an Islamic nation.

""We wanted to perform this act of justice towards our Muslim compatriots in Marseille, to allow them to hide a fox in the hen house"
"The plot of land, the site of a former slaughterhouse,"
Appropriate.

Either we get the right to build churches there, or they don't get mosques here. Absolutely. And one of the tenets of Islam is that once they take a land, it's theirs in perpetuity. Wake up Pierre.

Let them build a nice big one France, for one day all the laws that govern your lives will be issued from this building....assuming they don't want to build a bigger one in Paris when the time comes.

5 times a day as well.
I'm sure Saudi Arabia will allow a church to be built in their country any day now.

no doubt the deadlock was "broken" because the French took a more prudent position at the bargaining table:
"notre posicion de dialogue est incondicionel et final: nous surrenderons incondicionelment"

Under an agreement to be finalised on July 17, Marseille will make available an 8,000 square-metre (two acre) plot of land in the north of the city to the association in charge of the project, on a 99-year lease
...
The money must come from private donations since the French government cannot finance places of worship under laws on the separation of church and state.
and exactly what are the terms of that lease???
