Would Istanbul be the symbol of tolerance ?

So many religions in this town and everybody seems to respect the others ...

Raah.. you're back, i was impatiently waiting for your return and the beautiful photos you were sure going to bring back to us. And that's it: beautiful pictures, I also love the idea of tolerance in religion, 4 faiths living in harmony.
Did you find treasures in that attic?

l'esprit cosmopolite est typique pour istanbul.
j'espère de m'y rendre un jour...
have you been visiting the 'topkapi'??
seeing these magnificent sofa's of the former sultans is just a dream come true...

Melanie,
Peace and tolerance; so glad you found and shared this so we cynics can know they exist. ;)

I seems the closer the country is to the west the more tolerant they are. Having said that we could all take a leaf out of their book.
Gorgeous images.

I do hope it remains true, that we all are respecting of each other....

This has been wonderful, traveling with you!
