Menacing Muslims Create Cathedral Strife.

.
The Bishop will not allow Islamic prayer in the building.
There were disturbances outside the Córdoba Mosque
on Wednesday when a group of 100 (Austrian) Muslims
arrived to pray together.
.
Although still referred to as the "Mosque," the building
is now the city’s Cathedral, and in 2006 the Bishop of
Córdoba rejected a request from the Islamic community
to allow Islamic prayer inside.
.
There were scuffles as the 100 people entered using tourist
tickets, and then organized themselves ‘by walkie-talkie’.
Wednesday night’s attempts to pray by the Muslim group
coincided with the passage of one of the Catholic processions,
and in scuffles two arrests were made, for the making of
threats in one case, and attempted homicide in another, as one
security guard and a policeman were injured in the clashes.
.
The security guard then called the Guardia Civil (National
Police) to the scene. The Bishop of Córodba, Monseñor Asenjo,
has said allowing Islamic worship in the Mosque would ‘generate
confusion’ and lead to ‘religious indifference’. The Bishop went on
to say the Christian roots in Córdoba deserve to be respected,
and under these, the Catholics can live in peace with the
believers of other faiths. He said that Wednesday’s
events were a ‘calculated manoeuvre’.

Muslim face of the EU: as overall birth rates throughout Europe
collapse, falling well below replacement levels, the birth rates and
immigration rates of Muslims have been high. Because Muslims
often don't assimilate, strife is inevitable.
