Thread Name: BS: Islamic cultural centre near ground zero
Subject: RE: BS: Islamic cultural centre near ground zero
Cordova. Toledo. Two great centers of learning under the Muslins and Jews.
In Spain under Muslim rule, the synagogue was close, or in the case of Toledo, part of the same great building as the mosque.
The Weisenthal foundation director doesn't seem to know history.

Both the Muslims and the Jews were kicked out of Spain at one and the same time. Both have faced persecution by Europeans.

The name Cordoba is apt for the cultural center.
