Vatican continues to demand religious freedom for Christians in Muslim countries

... because freedom of religion has to work both ways:

A Vatican representative, speaking at a meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), has demanded recognition of religious freedoms in Muslim countries.

Msgr. Anthony Frontiero, the American-born Vatican representative at the OSCE, said that respect for religious freedom would entail allowing Christians to worship freely, and ending policies that bar Muslims from changing their religious affiliation.

The Vatican envoy's statement came after an Islamic leader had pushed for more concessions to Muslims living in Europe. Last week at an OSCE meeting in Madrid dedicated to the problem of "Islamophobia," the secretary-general of the Arab League, Amr Mousa, demanded that the Catholic cathedral in Cordoba, which was once a mosque, be opened once again for Islamic prayer services.

As for giving back Mezquita (or more properly, the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin), let's talk about Hagia Sophia first, hmm?
