"What we wanted was not to take over that holy place, but to create in it, together with you and other faiths, an ecumenical space unique in the world which would have been of great significance in bringing peace to humanity."


What about Hagia Sophia??

Tell the Islamic population that when they act like civilized people in Jerusalem in regards to Christians and Jews and the buildings holy to the Christian & Jew, they can expect the same courtesies to be extended to them in Spain.

Maybe, once the Saudis allow Jews to worship in Medina... After all, at one point in time, there were lots of Jews in Medina...

After all, it's only fair, and the Jews were there long before the muslims were in Spain.

and in Hagia Sophia in Turkey, the Church is limited to being a "museum" but allowed to have the mosque wing used as a mosque.

This is about what is yours is ours and what is ours is ours.

Kinda funny that Al-Jazeera didn't mention the Muslim uproar over even the possibility that the Pope would pray at the converted-to-mosque Hagia Sofia while visiting Istanbul.

Further proof this "religion" is a one-way street.

Spain's Islamic Board wrote to Pope Benedict XVI on Tuesday, calling on him to grant them permission to worship in the cathedral, parts of which were built as a mosque during Spain's period of Islamic rule.

Benedict's response (should be): "Sure thing...when Christians are allowed to pray in Hagia Sophia and the thousands of other Churches in Turkey, Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Egypt, and North Africa which were converted to Islamic/secular use by their Muslim rulers. Get back to me, will you?
