when muslims got to jerusalem and constantinople they did build mosques. never in 15 years writing about this heard them called victory mosques. but as you've said this is completely consistent with religion. when king david conquered jerusalem, king solomon built the temple. as you said, when rome became christian, they built st. peters, one of the great churches ever built. so this is consistent in history and kind of lost in this conversation i think is there's 600,000 muslims who live in and around new york city. there have been -- there are mosques in this area, there was a muslim prayer room in the world trade centers, to her reference about the trade centers. so the point is, it just is unusual and frankly a little frightening that a political candidate in north carolina or my hometown of savannah is going to comment on where muslims in new york city can worship or not. >> so if you call a mosque a victory mosque, by that logic, could you call the vatican a victory church or st. peter's a victory church, if you're going down that road? >> if you wan
