Very Sad...

This is for all the peace loving brothers and sisters that have commented on this thread.

This is how the Christians made a Church in the city (Sedlek) of Czek Republic out of Muslims’ bones.

For this, in 1218, one of the Christians Ruler ‘HENERY’ on his pilgrim tour to ‘BAIT AL-MUQADDAS’ brought the bones of Muslims who were slaughtered after the Christians recaptured ‘BAIT AL-MUQADDAS’ from Muslims, in order to decorate the church in Sedlek.

In 1318 and 1511 and again in 1870, they continuously brought the bones to reinforce the beautification of the church.

Now this is the famous most church in the world just because it is made up of Muslim bones.

Assalam aliekum

The bones that are used in making/decorating (?) this church are the bones from the church's centuries old cemetery. So unless there were Muslims being buried along side the Christians, it is NOT TRUE that they brought bones in from outside. After the black plague in the middle ages and several wars, the cemetery was getting too full, so they were going to just remove the bones. Instead, one of the monks at the abbey (where the cemetery was located), started using the bones as "decorations".

What was brought to the cemetery was a quantity of soil that one of the church/monastery guys brought back from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem- not bodies of Muslims.

THAT SAID, I think it is a totally creepy thing to do, no matter whose bones they are!!

So along with the widespread habit of select reading in TTI (I cannot emphasize this issue *enough* so yes I have said it *yet one more time*) we also have SELECTIVE-SIGHT..

Sobhanallah..

Didn't anybody notice that *everyone* wore their shoes???...and didn't anybody notice the THICK BROWN CARPET LAYED OUT *ON TOP* OF THE MASJID'S CARPETING???

If there are any pictures that should make us SAD it is the pictures of the excavations going on below Masjid Al-Aqsa which is weakening the foundations and may cause the Masjid to *fully collapse*

A visit like this if it doesn't soften the heart of the pope towards Islam..then perhaps someone who watched the visit or saw detailed pictures of it thinks to him/herself about the simplicity and beauty of the place where MUSLIMS WORSHIP and thus go about and research ISLAM..and even if the pope IS FAR from being right and even if he is a Mushrik or a Kafir..then softening his heart towards Islam and showing him its beauty CANNOT by any means be a NEGATIVE matter

Sometimes *religious zeal* can backfire..so we need to watch out!
