Hey Grand Infidel, you surely know, it is the standard practice of Muslim invaders wherever they invaded first to desecrate the holy places of existing religions of the land and then build mosques over it and claim it as their own.LOL !! Examples of this behaviour are numerous in India where they destroyed or converted thousands of Hindu and Buddhist temples to mosques and when they could not do this, a mosque was built right adjacent to to the Hindu holy temples.

Babar, the first Mogul invader, built a mosque known as Babri masjid right on the spot in Ayodhya where Lord Rama's temple had existed long before he came. Hindus asked Muslims to give back the place to them so that a Lord rama temple could be built on this spot. Of course, how could Muslims agree to such a proposal, even though the mosque was not in use and had been shuttered for decades since the British time period. Once Muslims loot and grab anything, they never return it, it is forever theirs. Finally, Hindus demolished this mosnstrosity in 1992 to build the Rama temple in its place but have not been able to do it, thanks to India's secular courts which are secular only for non-Muslims but not for Muslims.

Similarly, mosques were bulit and still exist today right next to Lord Krishna temple in Mathura and Lord Shiva temple in Varanasi(Banaras). Both are very holy cities and temples to Hindus.

So this is in Muslim's genes and a standard operating procedure for them. This helps in wiping out the existing religions of the invaded land but unfortunately for them they could not wipe out Hiduism from India due to the tenacity of the Hindus.

How many churches in Spain and Turkey were converted to mosques is very well known. Blue mosque(built over the site of Byzantine emperors' palace) and Hagia Sophia mosques were churches of Byzantine empire.

Along the same lines Muslims lay claim to Jerusalem, right on the spot which is holy to Jews, Temple Mount, with the absurd mythical story of Moahmmad's flight to Jerusalem on a donkey(they claim horse?). Only Muslims believe it - but in the grand scheme of Islamic illusions and treachery, this is nothing new!!!
