What religions are in conflict in Palestine?

It depends what you mean by "Palestine". If you are referring exclusively to the Palestinian Territories, there are abuses by Muslim Palestinians of Christian Palestinians and the defacing of their holy sites and monuments. Additionally, there is a conflict between Jewish Israeli Settlers and Israeli Soldiers and Palestinians (both Muslim and Christian). If you are using "Palestine" as a shorthand for "Israel and Palestine", then the religions in the conflict are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. However, those religions are not at conflict. The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is a ethnic/nationalist conflict where religions are used as ethnic identifiers (similar to the 1990s in Yugoslavia). It is not a theological conflict.


What do gargoyles symbolise?

In modern culture, they typically symbolize demons or other demonic creatures. However, in medieval times, they acted as scarecrows, in order to keep birds from perching on and defacing buildings with heights that would be difficult to reach. Western culture especially has taken the idea of these gargoyles and turned them into demonic symbols, probably due to our puritan origins. Originally, gargoyles were protectors, one may say, from birds.
