it was a typo for Babri- I read a couple histories on the Babri Mosque

You did't look very hard to find the truth, did you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babri_Mosque

"History
Hindu account
When the Muslim emperor Babur came down from Ferghana in 1527, he
defeated the Hindu King of Chittodgad, Rana Sangrama Singh at Sikri,
using cannon and artillery. After this victory, Babur took over the
region, leaving his general, Mir Baqi, in charge as viceroy.

Mir Baqi allegedly destroyed the temple at Ayodhya, built by the
Hindus to commemorate Rama's birthplace, and built the Babri Masjid,
naming it after Emperor Babur.[9] Although there is no reference to
the new mosque in Babur's diary, the Baburnama, the pages of the
relevant period are missing in the diary. The contemporary Tarikh-i-
Babari records that Babur's troops "demolished many Hindu temples at
Chanderi"[10]


Must it include the word "victory" to get the point across?


It would help because that is what the anti folks are calling the NYC
Islamic Center. There is no mention that these mosques are built
to commemorate anything. The Muslims conquer an area, then build
mosques. That's the way wars work. Are all the old Dutch
Reformed and Episcopal churches in NY 'Victory Churches' ? The old
Catholic churches in Maryland & Florida?

In 1591, Murat III converted the church into a mosque, naming it
"Fethiye" in memory of his conquest of Georgia and Azerbaijan. Today
the building is a museum


So, obviously it;s YOU who are zero for two. But, again, when you
will only accept the koran as a reference, that's where you wind up.


How does a Mosque in Turkey- named for some successes hundreds of
miles away - become a 'Victory Mosque' -

The reason I am focused on the Koran as a source is because you folks
keep saying it is Islamic Law that says they build victory mosques---
yet no one can cite the law.
