In Cordoba - Jihad Watch - Hugh Fitzgerald, quoted below, tells us what happened, at the end of his long but worthwhile account of what the New York Times will never talk about....
A deliberately-planned display of Muslim force took place in the cathedral of Cordoba on April 2, in the very middle of Holy Week, the holiest time of the year for Christians. Nearly 120 Muslims from Austria slowly filtered into the cathedral, so as not to attract the attention of guards and, using walkie-talkies, arranged to meet at a certain time, in one of the naves of the cathedral. There a number of them began, in the hush of the Christian services, to turn toward Mecca and prostrate themselves, and to loudly chant in unison. When asked by the security guards to please stop, they refused, and began to threaten the guards who, in turn, had to call for reinforcements from the Spanish police. When the Spanish police arrived, thus further disrupting the holy hush of ancient sacrifice, and the spiritual tranquility of the Christian worshippers, they found the Muslims unwilling to stop. At least one pulled out a knife, and at least two of the Spanish guards, one policeman and one from the cathedral detail, were wounded sufficiently to go to the hospital.
And here's Phyllis Chesler also telling what the MSM won't.

Steyn ping!
NONE!!!!
U.S. birth rate fell in 2008, report finds
The U.S. birth rate fell 2 percent in 2008, to about 4.2 million births, the National Center for Health Statistics reported on Tuesday.
Followed the ‘Holy Week in Cordoba’ link in the Steyn article to the Fitzgerald article and clicked on the ‘Muslims Try to Pray in Spanish Cathedral’ article.
But that link ( http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2010/04/02/world/AP-EU-Spain-Religious-Scuffle.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=Muslims%20Try%20to%20Pray%20in%20Spanish%20Cathedral&st=cse ) to an April 2 article is already gone.
I would love to read the whole thing.
Time for a prayer service by thousands of Christians in the Hagia Sophia, once a Byzantine Church that was converted to a mosque and is now a museum.

(But that is not a reason to be schizophrenic and to exclusively aim at students who choose Islam for their religion class subject. Has anybody ever seen it as a threat that children choose Catholic religion, or for morals class?’ )
When was the last time a Catholic stoned his daughter to death because she got a job or wore jeans or became to “western”
You can not compare a religion (Christianity) to a socio-politoco-culture-religion (Islam)
To be perfectly fair, the cathedral of Cordoba was originally built as a mosque. It’s not unreasonable for Muslims to want it back.
To be even more perfectly fair, Muslims would then have to give back all the Christian churches and Jewish religious sites they have converted to mosques, from Hagia Sophia in Constantinople to the Temple Mount.
Thank God for Mark and the people doing what he’s dong. They are the watchmen on the walls.
Fine. Hagia Sophia was originally built as a cathedral, can we have THAT back?
Sorry, Sherman, these kinds of ideas are ludicrous and tend to obscure the issues that actually matter.
Is accomplishing that the point of your post?
Did you read my whole post? That was my point. If they want perfect justice, they’d have to give back a lot more buildings than Christians would.
Which muslim city would I currently like to nuke???? Here, let me begin this ponderous list with...................................................................
How long will it take before Whitey realizes he needs to go on a birth rate expansion binge or be replaced demographically? Probably after it is too late.
Amazing story about Cordoba. Do the Spanish have the will left to resist?
Detroit has lots of room available. Fleeing Europeans could buy an entire semi-green field area of the city (with streets, water, and sewer already in place) and build a replica of their homeland. They could even start their own ethnic school.

The real question is "Do the Spanish have the people left to resist?"
As Mark Steyn pointed out in America Alone, Spain's birth rate has been so low for so long that its native population will halve in the next twenty years! And Steyn wrote that in 2006. Spain is dying, and quickly.
I’m an idiot and really SHOULD have read the very next sentence.
sorry!
Thank God that never happens to the rest of us. /s :-)
I’m glad you also showed the story about Holy week in Cordoba.
