I thought this vlog would be "the best sites in ", but I got grabbed for using my camera in public, which was shocking. It didn't spoil a fantastic trip to

Well… we were warned. 🤷🏻‍♀️

“Muslim call to prayer arrives to Minneapolis soundscape…. chant in Arabic blasted from rooftop loudspeakers, drowning out both the growl of traffic from nearby interstates and the chatter and clinking glasses on the patio of the dive bar that shares a wall with Minneapolis’ oldest Somali mosque..”

To me the building is beautiful. And it lives best as a place of prayer rather than a museum. It should welcome anyone wishing to pray, Muslim, Christian, other. Eccumenical not secular use best respects history & meets human need today.

But I think it's being abused as a symbol of ambition to restore rather than a symbol of faith. It divides where it should unite.

Imperialism, sectarianism is bad. news.

The decision of the Turkish leadership to turn into a mosque is a profoundly provocative act against the international community. It brutally insults historical memory, undermines the value of tolerance, and poisons Turkey's relations with the entire civilized world.

Toll. Jetzt ist die kein Denkmal mehr, sondern eine Moschee. Kann das bitte in angepasst werden? Statt Weltwunder nun in die Kategorie Religiöse Gebäude ^^
