I'm awaiting with bated breath their restoration plans for these gems in Kosovo. Looking at all the factors, I figure we might see it by, say, the year 2765, if they can work it in between their busy schedule of blowing up innocent civilians.

"When the Muslims allow Jews to pray at the Dome of the Rock which is built on the very foundation of the Second Temple, then and only then should these Muslims requests even be considered."

I appreciate the sentiment but Jews are forbidden to pray on the temple mount by Jewish law.

They can do this when St. Sophia's is returned to Christians in Constantiople.

Someone needs to tell the Jews this. Since 1967 there have been hundreds of Jews harrassed, arrested, beaten and stoned for trying to pray there.

If they are allowed to pray in the Cathedral, it will soon be a mosque.

Exactly. This is a BAD IDEA.

"construction of the biggest mosque the world had ever known over the structure of what it was known as the visgothic church of Saint Vincent."

Ah, and there's the rub. Moslems are very fond of destroying other religious sites and planting their mosques on them.

Note that this mosque still exists, even as the cathedral nearby was purposefully built larger.

Which culture has more respect for others?

Not only returned, but restored from its desecration wherein they scraped every Christian representation out.

They want to pray there because they think it is their right. They think they are superior to all other faiths. There is no way they would allow Christians to worship in a mosque, but they think they should be allowed to pray in a catholic cathedral? No I say, no way should this be allowed. Their moon god is not welcome in the House of the One True God.

It look that way to me. The Spanish surrender and now the catholic are surrendering, to the moon god. They will be coming to America soon, very soon. And the catholic will know doubt bow to the moon god, as a gesture of reconciliation between the two faiths. Sad, very sad!!
