Reader comment on item: Mosque in Cordoba, Church in Damascus
Submitted by jon purizhansky (United States), Dec 29, 2006 at 06:22
Wishful thinking! If East and West begin reciprocating good gestures, we will have global peace, Nasdaq will rise to 6,000, there will be no poverty and everyone together will fight global warming. :) It ain't happenning. Not in our life time. The Umayyad Mosque in Damascus will not become a Church and Muslims will not be praying in Cordoba cathedral in the near future! Sorry...
