Principe Boadbil

Back to Al~Andalus ? ....





The return of Islamic prayers to the Cordovan medieval Friday Mosque? Not joking, but surely tongue in cheek, the head of the Islamic Junta in Spain, Mansur Escudero, asked the Government to allow the conversion of the (Mosque)-Cathedral of Cordoba into "an ecumenic temple where Muslims, Christians and believers of other religions could pray together in the same days and could strengthened their spiritual and affective links". The mosque of Cordoba was consecrated as a Christian cathedral long, long before 1492, it must be reminded. In 1236, in fact. As far as we know cordovan Church authorities are not amused...
