This one is pretty neat. A nice fusion of modernity and tradition...
As a non-religious person I think it is a step backward for a Europe which is predominantly secular. Though it does speak well for for how tolerant Germany has become (can you imagine building 200 churches and synagogues in Saudi Arabia?).
is mosque the new synagogue? and will danny liebeskind jump all over it?
