So? It was a church for much longer than it was a mosque.



Yes, and the population of nation who has owned it since the mid 15th Century is almost entirely Muslim. Why would they convert the building into a church?

Deus VULT! God Wills It! I'll get to resurrecting Pope Urban the Deuce, you start collecting the chainmail. It's too bad our pal Alexius I Comnenus isn't still around.

WTF are we involved in another country's museum decisions?


No. Just having an opinion does not equal involvement.

Your comment indicated that perhaps they should for some reason.

Your comments seemed to use length of time as a justification. I was just pointing out that it was a church for much longer.

Our true enemies are Leftists who do not believe in God


all advancements in human history were made by god fearing societies.

The Muslim people are getting wise...they know the the Leftists are coming for Islam next if Christianity falls.

They're showing much more strength than modern-day Christianity, that's for sure.

Of course. They are a paternalistic society.


Men are expected to lead and be strong.

Women are the queens and their presence converts a house into a Home.

Turkey managed to do it well for a while. It's seems to be over though.

Glad I got to experience Turkey as a going concern. The Turkish people I worked were great folks.

Uh...that will not happen in the present environment.


We should be satisfied that the Muslims will revere the Hagia Sophia structure and not let it be destroyed/ignored by Leftists and keep it in its current glory.
