Church Moved To Not Offend Muslims

From the always-odd Austrian Times we see:

"Church leaders are spending 100,000 GBP moving a chapel half a mile - so it doesn't offend Muslims.

The Orthodox church was built on the site of a derelict mosque in Divic, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and is being taken away to improve relations with local Muslim worshippers.

Builders will spend a week driving the church to its new location on a massive low loader truck."

Link, although that is the whole article so no real point going there.

I still can't tell if Austrian Times is meant to be taken seriously or not.

No idea, am currently browsing http://cloudappreciationsociety.org/ which is either got to be a huge wind-up or a bunch of very odd people.

"There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect."

Lady Thatcher

"If you lead a country like Britain, a strong country, a country which has taken a lead in world affairs in good times and in bad, a country that is always reliable, then you have to have a touch of iron about you."

Voltaire

"Stand upright, speak thy thoughts, declare The truth thou hast, that all may share; Be bold, proclaim it everywhere: They only live who dare."
