Subject: RE: BS: Islamic cultural centre near ground zero
Q, thanks for setting me straight on Chimayo, a shrine that is about halfway between Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico. I read or heard somewhere that Chimayo was a holy place long before the Spanish arrived, but I may have had wrong information.

This Wikipedia article speaks about conversion of churches into Mosques. Toward the end of the article, it lists a few places of worship that were converted to Christian churches.
