From Spain:
Muslims across Spain are lobbying the Catholic church in Cordoba to make a symbolic gesture of reconciliation between faiths by allowing them to pray in the city's cathedral.
Cordoba's Renaissance-era cathedral sits in the centre of a 10th century mosque complex, and local Muslims want to be allowed to pray there again. They have appealed to the Vatican to intercede on their behalf.
Appropriate Catholic response: "Sure, when you allow the Pope to offer Mass at the Al-Haram mosque in Mecca."
I'm not holding my breath though. It's funny how these "reconciliation" gestures are so often one-way streets.
