iconic places that stand for a once more tolerant coexistence
the great Mosque-Cathedral in Cordoba giving testimony of a time of coexistence of different faith which brought upon a flourishing of cultures instead of their destruction. As a historian (not working as such anymore though) I am always waxing about the lessons from the past and everyone goes yeah right, but I wonder whether we really do listen and watch and UNDERSTAND those lessons, especially in view of our actual belligerant situations in so many parts of the world where war is fought in the name of faith although those religions per se should promote peace and understanding.
