#1 They're not using that old wrecked stone building on the hill for anything - maybe they can use that land for the Mosque. Bet they could demolish the wreck and sell the pieces to the British Museum to help fund the Mosque.

#2 How quickly they forget.

The Parthenon was made into a mosque around 1458. Moslems stored gunpowder inside the Parthenon and much destruction ensued by the late 17th century. The temple would have remained in great condition otherwise.

Modern Greece was recovered piecemeal from Moslem occupation during the 19th century.

#3 The only "first" about the upcoming mosque is that it would be the first since the Greeks drove their Muslim rulers out in 1821. The Parthenon was once a mosque, the Athens ceramics museum was once a mosque, and the "Mosque of the Conqueror" erected shortly after the Turks took over is now being used as a storehouse for archeologists.

#4 Cannonball, 1688, IIRC, but that was 1982 and 1984.

I just might have some juice left in these old brain cells.

As for selling it to Britain, just send it here like most other things will come over to protect western culture.

Well, they're back. Maybe not in power yet, but give them time.
