	Armenian Quarter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It might appear that the Armenian quarter might have been part of the Christian Quarter since all Armenians residing in Jerusalem are Christians, yet for historical reasons the Armenian quarter has remained separate and has not suffered the same disruptions as the other quarters over the last one thousand years.
		At this time the Quarter became dominated by non-Armenian churches including the Church of St. Thomas in the southern area, a Greek Church in the north part of the quarter, the Church of St. James Intercisus in the extreme north near David’s Street and the Church of St. Mark bordering today’s Jewish Quarter.
		While the Church of the Nativity was forced at this time to house Muslim travelers due to the Pact of Omar, the Armenians retreated inside their quarter, safe to most extents from the harassment and daily travails of not being the master of your own land.

		The Muslim world was increasingly fragmented, both politically and religiously, and these raids by pirates and fortune-seekers were the fruits of individual ambition and greed, not of a coordinated Muslim expansion.

		Muslims were not friendly to it, but there is no evidence that they simply killed all the Buddhists, or even all the Buddhist monks.

		Through as-Sufi’s initiative, the community bought land in the very heart of the old Muslim city, Albaycin, with the intention to build the first mosque built by Muslims since the Inquisition.
		Although their efforts were hindered by public and governmental opposition for 18 years, their project recently succeeded and the community, which has gained some respect, is on the brink of establishing a whole Islamic institution consisting of a mosque, an attached school, an Islamic college, and a da`wah and training center.
		But the opening of this mosque has a special symbolic value for Spanish Muslims, and has struck a nerve with some Spaniards who fear that this is the beginning of an Islamic reconquista of al-Andalus.
