Sharing a Church?

Muslims in Spain are (again) calling for the "sharing" of the former mosque, now Cathedral, in Cordoba. The local bishop is to be applauded for immediately slapping down that ludicrous suggestion. How would the Muslim world react if we asked to share Hagia Sophia in Istanbul? They are quick to employ all the familiar, Western rhetoric about tolerance and respect when they are in the minority. What happens when the tables have turned?

Where will CNN feature in-depth stories on the long, violent history of Muslim conquests of Christian lands, spreading from Spain and North Africa, and all the way to Eastern Europe?
