The board has written to Pope Benedict XVI, proposing that the mosque be turned into an ecumenic temple where Christians, Muslims and representatives of other religions could pray together and "bury past confrontations."

Appropriate when the same is done for Hagia Sophia.

The Pope wasn't even allowed to pray in Hagia Sophia, and the muslims are demanding the return of a building they lost hundreds of years ago. Of course, Spain will not only turn it over, but will apologize for ever taking it and pay to have in cleansed of offending symbols of Christianity.

Trade it for St. Sophia's. And then there's the matter of the Muslims squatting at the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem....

The peace they wish us it the peace of the grave or the peace of the slave. The Pope knows this.

When the Moors can marshall forces strong enough to re-take Spain, they can have the Cathedral back.

Wake up Spain! If muslims once held a piece of land at any time in history, they believe they have the right to it forever.

That includes your entire country, by the way.

If Spain had any sense it would expel all of them.

They already have. Their forces are called the Socialists.

The people of Córdoba are very upset about this, because this Muslim group (mostly Spanish converts, funded by the Saudi government) moved into Córdoba specifically with the intention of making it a center for Islam. In addition to getting the Cathedral - which had been a mosque, which in turn was built on a church destroyed by the Moors - they want to build Europe's biggest mosque there. The Socialists (municipal and regional government) are cool with it, although the people of Córdoba are not and I'm not sure what's going to happen.

Sooner or later every piece of land becomes holy and sacrosanct to muslims with the built in rationale that they have undeniable rights to it under Allah. Sort of like imminent domain laws wrapped in jihad.

These people are full of sheeite. Get your abomination off of the Temple. That would be a step towards peace. Then maybe we'll talk.

Hey, we can work a three way deal here. The muslims get the Great Mosque in Cordoba, the Christians get the Hagia Sophia, and the Jews get the Temple Mount.

Talk about a win-win-win deal.

We need a "Sore Loser-Muslim" graphic for stories like this. They lost, King Carlos V kicked the Moors around, and that is that.

Spain. having bought into the self-destructive European cultural mush, is allowing a re-reconquista. Ferdinand and Isabel must be spinning, spinning, spinning in their graves (actually, their coffins in Granada). Are the converts also demanding that Spain return the Alhambra to them? The Catholics in Cordoba need to push back, hard. This is what you get when you elect a Socialist government. The other individual who must be spinning in his grave is Franco. (Yes, I know, Franco is still dead. What a pity.)
