ANOTHER REASON WE SHOULDN'T RESPECT THEIR HOLY PLACES MORE THAN THEY DO

Question: When was the last time your church stored gunpowder, TNT and mortars out of sight of the authorities...

Mosque - right... I'd say a better term is "armory".

Doesn't matter...most of them will get indignant anyway.
US soldiers seized a large cache of weapons when they raided a mosque in southwestern Baghdad on Thursday and arrested a number of people, the coalition's deputy director of operations, Brigadier General Mark Kimmit, said on Friday.

Three packages of TNT explosives, a 60 mm mortar tube, eight improvised grenades, bomb-making equipment and two bags of gunpowder were recovered in the raid, he told reporters.

Kimmit said 32 people were arrested in the raid on the mosque, which he said was believed to have been used for "terror activities".
