I would have to side with the muslims here. It is their property to do with what they want.

I hate to agree, but yeah.

O.K. You go to Riyadh buy a plot of land and start building a Christian church, a synagogue or a Buddhist pagoda. I’ll see what becomes of you...

I agree. It’s their mosque. They bought it. It’s not like they stormed the place and slaughtered the Christians like they did at the Hagia Sophia in 1453.

In my town, the moslems bought a building that had been used as a church. The windows of the church were in the shape of the Cross. They stayed about two years, to my amusement, before they were replaced. But after all, it is their building.

I agree, as long as the decision was consistent with applicable laws, rather than based on fear or political correctness, and did not give the Muslims an outcome that others wouldn't have gotten.

I don’t see anything about it being designated a “historic landmark”; so I don’t see how anyone could stop them.
