You may not realize when the economic structure collapses to a point then nothing matters the Spaniards might put this place for sale!  Our mosque is a purchased church that tells where does a Christian's heart belongs that they will sell their churches and move on...As I said previously the mosques can't be any thing else See Bibles at yard sales and that can't be imagined a Muslim selling his Quraan in garage sale! If the inquisitors had any capability besides torturing the Muslims and Jews they should have done complete change over and make it look like a church and not leave any traces of anything Islamic so no Muslim would return to be part of the legacy! Now legally and spiritually you can have a problem brewing for which you may not have a solution, the Muslims and Jews were terrorized out of the country doesn't bode well Did you notice that Islamic inscriptions still adorn the walls and ceiling and you see crosses and idolatry things forced fit like a sore thumb that looks so crude and unnatural while the mehrab still there! Finally all entries in the media always say mosque-cathedral, not cathedral have you thought about that? http://www.infocordoba.com/spain/andalusia/cordoba/photos/mosque_2/index.htm Your mention of Sofia that was converted to Museum under Kamal's orders is irrelevant cuz if you go there you may be able to pray without any hassle in a room provided! But then it was an orthodox church and not a Catholic one to begin with!

Hi SignReader,

First of all, I didn't say that Santa Sophia is Catholic, I know it was Orthodox... but Orthodox are Christians, don't you know? And we can pray in other's churches ;-) Actually, I did in Romania when I went there, and none banned me for being Catholic.

On the other hand, do you know about the story of the "Reconquest"? Do you know when the end of the Islamic Empire in Spain started? They built I don't know how many small kingdoms around, and started selling the other Islamic kingdoms to the Christians. That was the way Christians recovered their land, because Muslims were "selling" it through their own betrays.

And I insist, I came there, I know the Cathedral is full of Islamic signs... and see? We didn't destroy it. Actually, we have lot of places full of Quran quotes that we didn't destroy. Myself, I think that is a sign of respect, but maybe it's wrong and we should have destroyed it for the sake of "peace"�?.

Well... as long as I appreciate it, and the whole country do it, I think we will go on taking care of it.

Regarding "Mezquita-Catedral", the Mosque part is just a Museum, while the Cathedral is used for praying up today
