Sounds like around here: no new church without adequate parking.
Hmmm ok then can we have no new mosque without a church in Saudi Arabia??
Stand up to ‘em or back down to ‘em.
The line has been drawn in the sand.
And folks....that there is THE understatement of the year 2008. Bar none and all to come.
“A Macedonian journalist interested in asking builders about a mosque that was being constructed in a Christian majority neighborhood of Skopje two years ago was threatened at gunpoint. Islamic officials controlling funds from letting properties and for building works have been associated with the radical Wahhabi movement in the past, and tend to be very secretive.
The suspicion that much of the new mosques are being built with Saudi money is evidenced in places such as the village of Saraj, just west of the capital, where one garish mosque adorned with Saudi-style double minarets stands besides the highway; another is currently under construction adjacent to it. When asked about the source of funding for the former mosque, a local imam stated that it had all been accomplished through local donations- the usual, and impossible to verify, response in such cases.”
Well, BB, if that running dog of Albanian irredentist Mohammedanism, the vile McCain, is elected president, they will be able to openly brag that the money comes from idiotic American taxpayers who, having bought into Bush’s “Islam is the Religion of Peace”, then went on to elect the best friend of Mohammedan terrorism the Balkans have ever seen.
Methinks the Serbs had the right idea back in the nineties.
Looking back now, I wouldn’t call it ethnic cleansing. No, today I’ld have called it pestilence control.
Eh. That wouldn't be a good idea. I'd be hauled before the International Cangaroo Court, charged with hate crimes against...ahem..."humanity" and summarily executed.
All within 24 hours.
I saw PLENTY of new mosques in Macedonia when I was there. The Orthodox are only trying to rebuild the churches that were damaged or destroyed in the 1963 earthquake. When I was staying with relatives in Struga, I was awakened every morning by the “call to prayer” of the nearby mosque. Struga is a beautiful city, but there is only one small, rocky beach where non-Muslims are permitted to swim.
Last time I checked,There is no moral equivalency between Christianity and Islam.
Mosques should not be built anywhere in the civilized world.
Let them build a mosque so it can be burned to the ground.
notice the “nobody goes to church dig”
When churches are a ubiquitous as a 7/11 it is understandable. In that part of the world the orthodox churches PERMIATE life.
I also thought it was sad that they article did not use FYROM and further confuses matters with the proper provence of Macedonia in Greece. (where Alexander the Great was born in Pella, where King Philip’s Tomb and museum stands)
