There is a small square in the middle of the Arab Souk home to vegetable stalls and vendors of second hand furniture. We were intrigued in November when most of the buildings on one side were demolished and the stalls cleared out to accommodate mounds of earth from pit being dug in their place. When we returned this year stalls had returned and construction was well under way.
Beloved was convinced it was a sign of "progress" and that a shopping precinct was being constructed to replace market stalls.
When we went back the other day it had topped out and was clearly a mosque
.This is surprising as the is another mosque 50m away, one at 100m and two further mosques within 200m. Still it is good to know that traditional religion has not been replaced by the worship of Mammon.
