First Turkey, now Spain…Muslims demand a historical cathedral that was originally a mosque during the time that Muslims illegally occupied Spain, be converted back into a mosque again

SEPTEMBER 9, 2020 BY BARENAKEDISLAM

The ruler of the UAE emirate Sharjah Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi is demanding that the Cordoba Cathedral in Spain be restored to a mosque, Arabi21 reported.

The Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba (Mezquita de Córdoba in Spanish) is located in the city of Cordoba in Andalusia, Spain. This unique building dates back to 9th Century when Muslims slaughtered tens of thousands of Christians in Spain and then illegally occupied the country for hundreds of years until they were driven out by the Crusades. In the 13th Century, the Mosque was converted into a Roman Catholic Church as it stands today.

Al-Araby (h/t Thereza B) The Emirati leader said in an interview shared by Sharjah News: “At the very least, we demand the return of Cordoba Mosque, which was granted to the church, as this is a gift which doesn’t belong to those who don’t deserve it”.

This contradicts statements made by other Emirati officials criticizing Turkey for its decision to convert the Hagia Sophia Cathedral in Istanbul into a mosque.

Emirati academic Abdul Khaleq Abdullah criticized the Grand Mufti of Oman’s for blessing the Turkish move, calling Erdogan a “malicious Ottoman” on Twitter. The sixth-century Istanbul landmark’s museum status – in place since 1934 – was revoked recently and control was handed to the Islamic religious authority.

The decision sparked condemnation from Western governments, Russia and Christian leaders – Pope Francis saying he was “very distressed.

I suspect Sultan Mo just put this out there to deflect some of the treats he is getting for recognizing Israel. Mow lets see if the quislings in Spain start running with this repugnant idea.

Good hunch.

Turkey didn’t shock me much at all.

I don’t know why Spain would, but I pray they don’t.

Certainly after you remove all your defiling of Hagia Sophia and return it to the Greek Othodox Basillica it was originally built as

They conquered and occupied it. Calling it illegal is just silly.

Technically the third largest mosque in the world, it has been Catholic church since 1236. A lot longer than Hagia Sophia has been mosque! Build using materials from destroyed Roman temples and Christian Churches.
Moreover large Renaissance cathedral was built in the middle of it.
Nothing too much new in this post as calls for allowing muslim prayers in it have been done for quite a while. So far both Church and state authorities rejected them!

La Mesquita was a pagan temple, then a church was built on top of it, then the Moors came and a Mosque was built on top of that, incorporating a part of that. Finally, it became a Church - most of the structure remains from the Moorish era, but not all

This cultural Jihad. Islam is not a religion. It is an ideology of conquest—either through invasion or subversion. Either way, it is incompatible with any other way of life on this planet.

Supporter of Pope Francis One World Abu Dhabi Movement Rabat Cardinal Lopez Romero was quoted as saying ” The stage of dialogue, which consisted of tolerance, is over.” Now, the “dialogue of friendship, hospitality, mutual knowledge, respect and openness to each other and collaboration to build a better world has begun.”

That so called dialog has yet to begin where all have been able to coexist peaceably has been is the State of Israel which Islamic theocracies like Iran want to destroy.

Followers of Islam will be laughably using those words as they chop the heads off of those who refuse to convert and destroy their places of worship.

Adherents of the Islam code Sharia not only claim, but truly believe that God has authorized them to kill those who refuse to submit to their version of Gods will.

That is a basic tenet of that religion. A claim which goes unchallenged which makes it a theocratic creed advocating a form of government that is to replace the existing one.

While it is understandable for atheists which most socialists are, not to approach that claim on a theological basis. Islam as construed with its portrayal of a mercyless evil deity approving using deception and deceit is an abomination which must be discredited and condemned.

But believing by bombing and killing those who believe in it will end its practice will not.It can only be done by attacking its assertions and tenets. Certainly not by ignoring and denying they do not exist.

It is bewildering why many Christian clergy including my Pope concerned about quote, political correctness, unquote, refuse to address what an insult to God Islam is and worse yet are unable to condemn then convince and convert its advocates and adherents they are followers of an evil creed . Instead Francis equates it with Judeo/Christianity because of its claim of being monotheistic

The Koran which was not given to Mohammed by God but by some angel .Demanding enforcement of sharia law which draws heavily from the Jews Torah whom they demand eliminating. Sharia is a pseudo religious concoction using monotheistic selected texts, taken and misconstrued from the old (bible) and new testaments and also codifes Arab tribal customs and mores.

Unless the Spaniards stop using birth control, it’s going to be a mosque in 50 years anyway.
