    I don't give a dime weather you or anyone esle is of Islamic ancestry, or if you are offended by my words. This is my oppinion, excuse me for being a human exerting my democratic rights.

    You know what our mistake is nowdays? When someone tries to defend his country, his is immediately baptised an extremist, nationalistic, arrogant, tacist worm that should be locked up in a cell. Please.

    I'm not inclined in ruining this thread any further. Anyone wasnts to continue this topic with me and hear my full oppinions, can freely PM me or visit my profile page.

    Good point. The comment made on the Pantheon, I would just like to say that Greeks can do whatever the hell they want with the Pantheon because it is THEIRS!. Their ancestors made it THEY did not come from half way across the world and steal it from someone else, and now are claiming it as their own. However same thing can not be said about the current owners of Constantinopole.

    Oh please...

    Wonder when Foot will drop by with his locking wand, and all because you guys could not control yourself, it is petty and a pity. EVERYBODY has F*ed someone else over at some stage, get over it.

    We were, for example, talking about the Pantheon of Rome, Aggrippa's. You know, the temple to the old Roman Gods that the Jewish sect called Christianity came across the Med to take over...

    I thought this place was above such bigotry and petty feelings. We are supposedly all educated and civilised people...

    Counting down to lock of what could have been an excellent thread was it not for your nationalist and religious urges.

    Great pics! I'll bring the locking wand to the party if anyone feels a need to continue any arguing though.

    I think things are pretty much okay now, TA. I've taken the discussion someplace else.

    In fact Maiden's Tower was built pre-roman period, AFAIK the main body of the tower is mostly byzantine. After the last restoration it is used as a restaurant now.
