Why don't they just officially turn the cathedral into a mosque and have done with it?

Well, that didn't take the spineless socialists long..
When will they pass the "modesty" laws and start banning the sale of pork.

I guess nuns in burkhas aren't far off. God save us.

Muslim countries are very careful not to be insensitive to native Christians, aren't they?

Well, the bells at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela were melted down to make lamps for the mosque at Cordoba when the Muslims conquered Galicia (area of Spain where Santiago is located), so there's a precedent.

Spain might could use a Moor slayer these days. Help reduce the terrorist population.
And when are churches going to consider Eucharist "politically incorrect" because it offends Buddhists? C'mon, history and religion are what they are. They're not going to change.

Yes, if they are worried about offending the sensibilities of the Muslims, they should go all the way and turn the cathedral into a mosque and re-Islamize Spain. Only that will spare the oh-so-sensitive feelings of the baby-boy Moslems.

Appease, appease, appease, appease. Why don't the Spaniards just cut to the chase, order the women to wear burkhas, destroy the cathedrals and replece them with mosques and change their national language from Spanish to Arabic?
It will take less time.

"Santiago de Compostela"
a very important pilgrimage site; Eleanor of Aquitane's father walked there in the 12th century in atonement.
Maybe they should instead put up a statue of what the Muslims did to the Christians when they were fighting to conquer, and then to retain, Spain.

What are they going to do with all the statutes of El Cid Campeador? The real Cid, as opposed to the legendary one, was quite willing to fight on the Muslim side when it suited him.

Welcome to the Re-Reconquista. Pick up your prayer rug at the door.

Well, since St. James was a contemporary of Christ, he didn't REALLY fight any Moslems, because there weren't any. He was executed by one of the Herods.
