This is a trap laid for conservatives, folks. They will agree to the Greek Orthodox Church IF everyone will accept the Cordoba Intiative.
They are not the same, the Greek Orthodox Church was already in existence, the Cordoba Mosque was not.
The trap is they would have a “shared building”
the trap is they would only allow the church as a “museum” (of according to moslems, a dead religion)
The port authority is trying to take(steal) the underground rights. The 1916 church still owns those.
The church was actually negotiating to move to another land parcel in a straight swap and rebuilding money.
