Absolutely kitti, I could not agree more. Any real religion would welcome others who want to go in, even if it's only curiosity. As  long as it's done in a spirit of peace. To invade a church in the way it was done,, is disrespectful at the very least.

I will say it again, if we had done that to a Mosque,, it would have been headline news, There would have been placard waving demonstrations in the street. Questions asked in parliament I don't doubt. From the news I read coming from Egypt Libya and a few other places, where the so called Arab spring has left extremists in charge, there would be rioting, with Christian churches burned to the ground and clergy killed.

In Saudi Arabia, you would be lucky to survive it.

I was talking about the forcible entry of a Mosque as I think you know. That in fact was the start of the thread, with a post saying that Muslims had deliberately entered a Christian place of worship complete with prayer mats. there could  only be one interpretation of such an act, and it is not harmonious.

Had I  or yourself for that matter done the same thing rather than enter in peace as we did. there would have been demonstrations in the streets calling for the heads of those who insulted Islam. Under such circumstances I repeat we would be in adjoining cells. I cant speak for Portugal with it's 4 million Muslims. but that would happen in Britain, and has happened with far less cause.

I for one would never dream of forcibly entering a place of worship in order to impose my own method of worship, and I believe such an act should  be universally  condemned.

The aim was to visit a Catholic Church to observe the characteristics of a particular architectonic style. When we got there, there were two young love birds having sex on one of the benches. It was an unforgettable field trip and we learned a bit more than our teacher expected.

sounds like it. colloquially this is terminology for two persons who cannot get their hands off of each other in the presence of others or were you referring to the feathered type?

Well, those two seemed to have reached an agreement on that.
