Re ''Defiant Muslims Begin Building Nazareth Mosque'' (news article, Nov. 24):
Christians are upset by a mosque being built next to the Basilica of the Annunciation in the boyhood town of Jesus. But have those same Christians ever wondered how Muslims feel when Christian missionaries build churches and schools and proselytize in Muslim communities?
The two religious groups should try to use this as an opportunity to learn something about the other's faith.
