A oagan temple in a muslim country?
Ahh, that wonderful biased and clueless point of view which I am used to hearing from people whose reference for a "Muslim country" is only Iran or Saudi Arabia.
- There are a lot of Churches and Synagogues in Turkey. You don´t have to search secluded corners for them, just take a walk in İstiklal avenue that lies at the center of İstanbul.
- Although there are a lot more native and immigrant Muslims in Greece, building a mosque in Athens has been a taboo for around half a century and is still being negotiated fiercely atm. Greece is a European Union member. (I am not bashing Greece in particular here, just the hypocrisy)
I actually started taking sick pleasures from oh so tolerant Westerners lecturing us, please don´t stop!

1)
There is not much difference for Islam, all are heresy. Moreover, from a historical point of view, pagan beliefs posed a threat for Islam only for a short time in its birth phase in the Arabian peninsula (that´s why it´s emphasized in Kur´an), whilst Christians have been an archnemesis for Turks for the past millenium. One would expect more intolerance directed at their worship places; say, one like the destruction of nearly all Ottoman Churches in the Balkans by our tolerant Christian overlords.
2)
-MERYEM ANA SURYANI KADIM KILISESI: (Mother Mary Suryani Ancient Church) Built in 1960 in Beyoglu / Istanbul.
-NEVE SALOM SINAGOGU: (Neva Shalom Synagogue): Built in 1951 in Kuledibi / Istanbul.
-Plus many others were restored or rebuilt in the last century, like Anglican Church or Surp Krikor Armenian church and many more. You may need google translate for this but here goes: http://www.istanbullife.org/kilise_ve_sinagoglar.htm
More importantly, yes most have been built before Turkish Republic was founded but still nearly all of them have been built in Ottoman era, which was Muslim.

Sorry, my dear, aunty if we disappointed you as we are not intolerant, bigoted or prejudiced against the pagans and paganism as you think we are.
By the way, I am amazed by your ignorance and lack of history knowledge.
please feel free to say, "upsydaisy is neurotic"
