This comment by a certain Sanjay on Ann Althouse’s blog prompted me to make a post out of something that I normally would simply ignore. The issue is a set of Muslims asking to be allowed to pray in a church that was apparently a mosque forcibly converted to a church many eons ago.
Althouse: Muslims praying in the cathedral.
(btw, “the tiger” is wrong: I’d have a hard time not assigning most of blame to “strife over holy sites in India” to Hindu nationalists —- NOT Muslims. I have vivid memories of dropping in on the normally freakishly calm and impassive Hindu holy man who married us, and seeing him choking and weeping over the pettiness of our co-religionists).
You know what is really interesting about the comment? The fact that the commentor thinks Hindu Nationalists are pigs for demanding essentially the same thing that the Muslims are in the linked story, and…he is defending the Muslims. Go Figure!
