Fair enough. Although I think we should claim whatever it was that was the church's to begin with, if the opportunity arises. Or if enough Muslims (or whoever) convert within a country and it becomes largely Christian.. and then they just do it themselves.
I'm the same anon who mentioned the Dome on the Rock above as well.. and I would be happy to see it get the Templar treatment again.
Few people learn this, but another interesting thing is the Kaaba (pic) that's greatly associated with Islam because of the Hajj (the trip to Mecca they're all required to undertake). It was actually a Christian building first, funnily. Muslims are forever the thieves of Christian teachings and treasures, but distort them. It once housed many icons. It's been said that when Muhammad invaded Mecca, he came to the Hajj and removed the icons.. but out of a (strange) reverence, left Jesus and Mary's icons still there. Then only later, an even more degenerate Saudi ruler removed those icons as well.
