From Expatica. They are sneaky little bastards. Project Muslim propaganda on a Christian church. Nice.
Bishop slams city hall’s plans to project images of Arab knights in sound-and-light show at the cathedral.
SEVILLE - Months after refusing to let Muslims pray in Córdoba's famous
Mezquita, a mosque converted into a Catholic Cathedral in the 13th
century, Juan José Asenjo, the bishop of the Andalusian city, has also
showed an aversion to a little light nighttime entertainment.
In
a press conference on Wednesday, Asenjo slammed Córdoba city hall's
plans to put on a sound-and-light show at the temple, arguing that it
would "pervert the true identity of the cathedral as a Christian
temple".
Under a 2006 agreement, the bishop allowed the City Hall to add lights and "music fitting for the temple".
However,
he argued yesterday that it cannot "project images of Arab knights"
onto the Mezquita's walls as City Hall was reportedly planning to do in
the historical show. A request to allow Muslim prayer in the Mezquita
was turned down in 2007.
