Cordoba's Cathedral, NOT Mosque

In their most recent (Nov. 26-Dec. 3, 2007) issue the editors of US News & World Report devoted most of that printing to various faith's "sacred places"; Among which was the Cathedral of Cordoba, Spain----Once a Mosque. The following is a letter sent to those editors.


In the year of sanity, 1492AD, the last and all Muslims were driven out of ALL of the Iberian peninsula which they had earlier taken by armed force in their following of Mohammed's instructions to use murder, rape, genocide, robbery, suppression of non-Muslims and perpetual war against all "unbelievers" to further the causes of that ideology and its followers. Mr. Alex Kingsbury is very much misleading your readers when he designated ("Legacy of Islam and Christianity'; Your Nov. 26-Dec. 3, 2007 issue; At Page-53) Southern Spain as "straddling, as it does, the European and Islamic worlds.". Until these late and degenerate times of an anti-civilization government in Spain, that part of the Christian world was fully independent of the terrors which Islam brought to Spain before 1492 and by more recent bombings AND, in such places as the Darfur, still brings.

I will support Islamic prayer services in the Cathedral of Cordoba when the Saudis allow Christian and Jewish services in the Grand Mosque in Mecca.
