I only look at the political use of religion in history, but I have to admit, I still think "Wow" when they do such breath taking architecture.

I am guessing PVC might have watched it too, he is keen on History. (if not, go and watch it.

Bam. There you go. Norman Sicily was extraordinary. Probably the coolest state of all Europe during the Middle Ages.

As those sounds had a historical meaning of subduing a former enemy territory.

Ringing church bells in ~~Germany~~ Germania is a stab in the heart to all Asatrú followers in the world. That must be it.

It's a mosuqe, a house of worship and it is perfectly legal for them to build it on there land...that they bought....with private monies....

I lol now that the debate is trying to be framed in "Well they have the right, but should they?" I guess freedom and tolerance trully only extends to what you feel comfortable with

I'm not tolerant, neither are the people behind this mosk

um ok. It doesn't change the fact it's private land bought with private money.

As long as they don't start arming terrorists they can do what they like

The European sickness, they are so sure they are 100% correct that they simply can't imagine that not everybody thinks exactly like they do, armchair world-travelers.

Tolerance of different beliefs does not mean we all have to adopt pluralism.

But for some reason people nowadays think it does. First we began to allow people to practice their beliefs, next we need to all agree with them.
