That's the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth, Israel. It was built on the site where, according to Roman Catholic tradition, the Annunciation (the Archangel Gabriel proclaiming to the Virgin Mary that she was to be the Mother Jesus Christ, the Son of God) took place.
In the lead up to the millennium, the Shihab al-Din mosque was established as a triumphalist mosque adjacent to the Church of the Annunciation. The Vatican protested the building of the mosque in that location, but Ehud Barak, who was Prime Minister at the time, rejected the Vatican's objections. The government even donated the land for the mosque from the Israel Lands Authority.
Now the imam of that mosque, Sheikh Nazem Abu Salim Sahfe, has been indicted for promoting and recruiting for global jihad and calling on his followers to harm non-Muslims.
Among the other plots born of Sahfe's sermons was the murder of cab driver Yefim Weinstein last November. Sahfe's followers also plotted to assassinate Pope Benedict XVI during his trip to Israel last year. They torched Christian tour buses. They abducted and stabbed a pizza delivery man. Two of his disciples were arrested in Kenya en route to joining al-Qaida forces in Somalia.
