Report have emerged that a catholic church has been transformed into a mosque in the city of Venice, Italy.

According to prominent New York Times, Today, Friday, 8th, May 2015, as part of the Venice Biennale, a former Catholic church in the Cannaregio neighborhood will open its doors as a functioning mosque, its walls adorned with Arabic script, its floor covered with a prayer rug angled toward Mecca and its crucifix mosaics hidden behind a towering prayer niche.


It was learnt that for the next seven months Venice will find itself in the middle of a constant debate about Islam’s place in Europe.


Known for is arts and alluring architectural beauty, Venus remains one of the few European cities without a mosque near its historic centre, which has left Islamic residents with no choice than to pray in storerooms and shops.

Following the scene of a rising Islamophobia in Venice and Italy in general and fears like those in France which had to deal with a terrorist attack recently, Muslim leaders in Venice said they saw the proposal to create a temporary mosque as a perfect way to communicate their desire to more fully participate in the life of their city.

“Sometimes you need to show yourself, to show that you are peaceful and that you want people to see your culture,” said Mohamed Amin Al Ahdab, president of the Islamic Community of Venice, which represents Muslims of about 30 nationalities living in greater Venice.

Well, i wont argue anyfurther because i just check yr moniker and read one of ye thread regarding saudi, but i still dont want to bliv that there is no single church in d whole of saudi or a xtian non saudi cant be allowed to kip bible in his home and mind u muslims have bible too, pls note that saudi is the land of the two holy mosque for muslims, that in mecca and madinah, d culture might b oppressive to xtians or others likewise some other ppl culture is oppressive to muslims too. Just that xtians are quick to whine. back to nigeria, tell me if there is mosque in d core southeast and southwest state, delta, crossriver, bayelsa and so on, wia u find mosque is only in d barracks. But lest i forget i mention wellfarism that xtians in saudi got but thnk God i read one of yr thread and saw so many perks attached to yr jobs that u r entitle to. and y do u say oppress if wen u mind yr bisness u @ peace and no one is forcing u to go mosque, ma sista i know saudi isnt presenting a life like u r used to in nigeria. but i think wht they do is modest enuff

All I was arguing was that Muslim countries treat christians well.I quoted Saudi Arabia your Muslim head office ( with Mecca and Medina ) and I told you there is no church. Their Laws do not permit such. Truly there is no church in Saudi Arabia and Christians are oppressed. Even in Pakistan you are talking about they have bombed Catholic Churches and killed several Christians. I am not sure which rock you have been living under. The perks you are talking about is irrelevant and lame argument. The fact is Muslims are much more intolerant in a lot of Muslim countries. Close good example, your brothers in the North, killing Christians and later Muslims.

Go back under that rock, it may be comfortable for you. Too ignorant for my liking.

We both know that the bolded is false.

Just that xtians are quick to whine. back to nigeria, tell me if there is mosque in d core southeast and southwest state, delta, crossriver, bayelsa and so on, wia u find mosque is only in d barracks.

@ bolded, pls how many eastern n western states have you travelled to for you to have made this conclusion. In the village where I grew up, I used to wake up @5am to the early morning prayers coming from the mosque and it was not in any barracks.

One of the problems ppl have with some self proclaimed 'liberal' moslems 'as they call themselves is that they are silently & indirectly in support of what bokoharam is doing.

First time I entered a mosque was the Central mosque in Enugu. It's a big, busy mosque.

Growing up in the 90s, during the military regime, if we wanted to see the Governor, we would just line up along the road to the mosque around 2pm on Fridays.

So there are mosques in core christian states and they do their business just fine.

Just saying.

After reading comments, I can bear witness that there are mosques in the eastern part of Nigeria, because I have domiciled there. And as for the hatred issue, muslims who hate christians or people of other religions are people who don't really understand islam. The prophet Mohammed (SAW) even forbade extremisim. If you have an evil heart naturally religion can help you amplify the evil in you.

Islam is the most intolerant religion.
Think about the apotasy law that prescribes death to people who leave the religion.

The religion is by fire by force, no love just doctrine.
