Zašto ne blokirate u RS izgradnju tih arapskih džamija?

Saudi offer for Moscow mosque, Orthodox call for church in Arabia

A Saudi offer to build a large mosque in Moscow has prompted Russian Orthodox organisations to ask for permission to build an Orthodox church in Saudi Arabia. Several western Christian churches have asked for or suggested such reciprocity with Saudi Arabia, which funds mosques abroad but bans any religion but Islam at home. It’s an issue that can only become more pressing if King Abdullah continues to preach interfaith dialogue and tolerance around the globe while not practicing it at home.

The Russian Muftis Council announced the Saudi offer to fund a mosque last week, promting an open letter to King Abdullah a few days later by what Interfax news agency called Orthodox public organisations. It didn’t come from the Russian Orthodox Church itself, but watch this space. The Russians have become increasingly active on the world religious scene as they emerge from the communist era and it would not be surprising to see them take a position on this question as well. There is probably also a domestic angle to this. Islam is the second largest religion in Russia and growing, so the Orthodox Church might feel a bit of competition.

“You often say that Islam is a religion of justice. However, if Saudi Arabia builds mosques in dozens of Christian countries, isn’t it just to build a church for Christians living in Your Kingdom!” says the letter quoted by Interfax. “It would be just to create the same conditions for Saudi Christians as Muslims have in Russia … It is the only way to make interreligious dialogue honest and just.”

Read the full text of the letter in English here. It says Moscow already has two mosques but IslamOnline speaks of six.

Do you think it’s important to see churches built in Saudi Arabia? Should this be a litmus test for assessing Abdullah’s dialogue campaign?

Orthodox public organizations' address the King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia

Your Majesty!

Moscow Orthodox believers have recently learned that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia plans to build one more mosque in our city. Historically, not only Orthodox churches were built in Moscow: our capital have synagogues, though there are enough Orthodox Churches in Israel; we have Catholic churches, but there are several Russian Churches in Italy; even two Shiite mosques are located in our city – however, both Baku and Teheran Orthodox believers have a place for prayer and they do not feel any prosecutions.

You often say that Islam is a religion of justice. However, if Saudi Arabia builds mosques in dozens of Christian countries, isn't it just to build a church for Christians living in Your Kingdom! Perhaps, Chairman of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue Jean-Louis Cardinal Tauran was right when he said that "if Muslims believe it right to have a great striking mosque in Rome, than it is right for Christians to build a church in Riyadh!"

It is common knowledge that preachers of true monotheism - Christians - came to Mecca and Medina several centuries before Muslims. Jews historically resided there. So do you believe it just not to allow them in the territories, where their ancestors lived, where their churches and cemeteries were located? Meanwhile, Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Emir of Sharjah, gave a good example to all Muslim governors last year when he blessed a foundation of the Orthodox Church and thus proved his sincere good feelings to Christians.

Saudi Arabia, as any other country of the world, is a multiconfessional and policonfessional state. It would be just to grant the freedom of faith to Christian minority as their share exceeds 10 per cent. It is very important to lift restrictions on visits of Christians to Mecca and Medina, to permit them to wear crosses, to publish religious literature and preach their religion. Schools should give Christians an opportunity to study basics of Christian religion, as compulsory study of Islam only may become a delayed action mine in the foundation of Your country and provoke interethnic and interreligious discord. It would be just to create the same conditions for Saudi Christians as Muslims have in Russia.

Today relations between Russia and Saudi Arabia actively develop. You and Your associates urge to strengthen friendship between our countries and develop dialogue between Islam and Christianity. All these initiatives should be appreciated, but only in case, they are mutually useful. Alongside with fighting negative image of Islam among Christians, myths about Christianity should be renounced. If You offer to broadcast the Mecca TV channel in Russia in order to preach "pure Islam" among Russians, then it would be just to give Your subjects a chance to watch Russian Orthodox channel that can simply explain Muslims that Christians do not believe in three gods, do not misquote Bible and do not pray to idols.

It is the only way to make interreligious dialogue honest and just.

Gospon Aga, ja sam samo postavio pitanje, na tvoj prethodni post. POšto je rs dominantno srpska, možete raditi što hoćete, stoga je i moje pitanje postavljeno kako treba. Arapi vam grade džamije po RS, a ti brineš o globalnim problemima Vidi da bi srbija prodala arapima koju raketu, vaša prekodrinska braća obećaju poticati vjersku toleranciju u vašem entitetu, tj izgradnju džamija

Ma dete ste i svaki komentar vam je dečji bez obzira što se sprdili tolike godine, gospodine Man

Pa vi baš ništa ne razumete, gospodine Man.
Zašto da ih vraćamo veri pradedova kad našu sandžačku braću islamskog veroispovedanja, ako ovde opet zarati, možemo poslati na vas kao i u minuloj vojni

Zaista se ponašete kao dete a po godinama biste trebali biti ozbiljan čovek

Da izvinete Dubrovnik tracionalno-istorijski zaslužuje jedan islamski centar , jer koliko su oni(Dubrovčani) istorijski bili oaza hrišćanstva i evrospke kulture na ovim prostorima toliko su šurovali i trgovali sa Turcima tj.sa muslimanima koji su često tamo boravili , a pri tome da su im u zaleđu braću kršćane i hrišćane(seljake) ti isti Turci čerečili i nabijali na kolac.

Da izvinete Dubrovnik tracionalno-istorijski zaslužuje jedan islamski centar , jer koliko su oni(Dubrovčani) istorijski bili oaza hrišćanstva i evrospke kulture na ovim prostorima toliko su šurovali i trgovali sa Turcima tj.sa muslimanima koji su često tamo boravili , a pri tome da su im u zaleđu braću kršćane i hrišćane(seljake) ti isti Turci čerečili i nabijali na kolac.

Još i bolji odnosi su se održavali s Papom,jebiga diplomacija je jača strana.Nisu Turci nikada po Dubrovniku obitavali osim u karanteni prije obavljanje trgovine i poslije šup karta,jedini je stalno mjesto življenja imao turski konzul ilitiga emin,koji je živio u kućici poviše lazareta(sve još sačuvano).
To što se tiče raje,ne znam što bi ti reko...Neka moraliziranja iz današnje perspektive nemaju smisla.

'Policiji je sinoć oko 22 sata dojavljeno da više osoba baca kamenje prema Islamskom centru na Zametu. Na mjesto događaja odmah su upućeni policijski službenici, a uviđajem je utvrđeno da je na prozoru uredskih prostorija vjerskog centra razbijeno staklo.

Povrijeđenih nije bilo, a materijalna šteta će se utvrditi naknadno. Policija je izvijestila da nastavlja istragu kako bi se utvrdile sve relevantne činjenice i pronašli počinitelji.''

Okcidentalna civiliziranost i kulturoloska superiornost par excellence. I to u Rijeci, bastionu hrvatskih kozmopolita.

Zadar?
You must be kidding.

Contradictio in adiecto. Pun vas je Zadar.
A mozda na to i mislis kad aludiras na "zdraviji duh", tj. na lokalni patriotizam.

Jok, mislim na zavaravanje samog sebe.
U gore spomenutim gradovima poput Rijeke, ljudi se često vole zavaravati da su bolji od drugih po kulturi, da ne mrze Srbe i slično.
Istina je da im je kultura na razini ili ispod ostalih gradova, većinom zbog prelijeva lumpenproletera iz šuma 45e u grad (i zauzimanja stanova gradskoj gospodi, desetkovanje inteligencije itd...), a druga istina je da ne mrzi nitko u RH Srbe koliko oni mrze Slovence, neki i Talijane (govorim u većini slučajeva, čast iznimkama).

Ne bih štel da se mešam ali navedene pojave je daleko više bilo u Zadru nego u navedene tri grada jer su preko 2/3 njegovih stanovnika bili Talijani koje su zamijenili... znamo već tko.
