    Please Correct a Mistake:

    The No. 17 "Masjid-e-Aqsa" can not be listed in the category of Mosques or Masjid. Because the Ahmadiya community has been officially declared as NON MUSLIMS in most of the countries. And they CAN NOT SAY THEMSELVES AS MUSLIMS and they CAN NOT SAY THEIR PRAYER PLACE AS MOSQUE.



    So Plz Exclude that No. 17 "Masjid-e-Aqsa" from this list.
