'Hagia Sophia might be converted to a mosque': Erdogan

[jetray]

Just do it, why keep beating around the bush. History repeats itself, next 2 or 3 decades will be interesting on how european countries respond to it. They will be forced to dump secularism and follow the suit as well.

With the conquest in 1453, Muslims alone deserve the ownership of Ayasofia. Whether it becomes a masjid or remains a museum is upto today's Turks.

Btw. Excellent decision.

 

[Nefarious]

Mosque or not those neighbouring Europeans want that city back no matter what. Need to stay on point!!

 

[AfrazulMandal]

It was built by the Christians as a church. Give it back to them, and make it a church.

Well, they built Anatolia too. Why not give that back to the Greeks or Romans?

Why should European secularism depend on what Turkey does with a museum of its own?

Er... nobody built Anatolia. It's a pice of geography.

 

[AfrazulMandal]

They have been screaming for revenge for the Islamic conquest on Constantinople for centuries.

True.

No different to Hindu sore losers on our side here.

Most of its civilizational period was during its Christian times.
Does not mean it should be returned to them.
Kabul was ruled by the hindu Shahi. Should afghans hand over Kabul to hindus now?

Should Pakistan hand over all erstwhile places to their respective communities? It does not make much sense.

Every action has a reaction.
It will give more ammunition to far right/christian extremes , who will in turn would will try to foist christianity as the state religion.

And local including Muslim communities will hopefully foil such regressive attempts. They have been trying for years now.

 

[Brutas]

After inquisition all mosques were converted to churches or destroyed including that one in cordova. So if it was a catholic church, Russia might just issue a statement. But this was a orthodox church, he'll loose Russia. West will go after him like bull dogs.

How will the local muslim community even defend themselves when muslims across the border turn church into a mosque? Most of the ppl will become silent supporters, it is not that they will support far right directly they wont take any action either. This will be a boost to far right which will make it look like most ppl support them.

 

[Awan68]

Any decision by Erdogan will be a collective decision by the Turk nation, he is a democratically elected leader with huge majority and overwhelming support of his people.

To those who are saying what will the west say or this will hurt relations with this or that, this is the problem with modern day muslims, this mind set right there is why the world of Islam has become so weak. We care about what the west will think, the muslims who were the declared superpower on earth for more than 800 yrs straight only cared about what Allah will think.

Do u think the Us, Britain, France, Russia or Israel give a flying fck what muslim nations have to say? They just follow the interest of their people. We should do the same. They can think what they like, we muslims shouldnt explain ourselves to anyone but Allah, let the spawns of Satan explain themselves to worldly Pharoahs.

Just a few days ago I was talking to my brother @Hakikat ve Hikmet about turning Aya Sofia back into Mesajid. Looks like the Soltanet-i-Osmania might be returning after all!

The Ootoman Empire is long dead and gone as is the Nizam-I Ilahi for everything other than HIM!!!! The Ottomans aren’t returning, but the folks who’ll be at the helms will start from where they left at their zenith!!! And, they will take it to much higher levels....

The Tyrant’s manifesto specifying a mission to destroy all the Minar-i-Aya Sofia must not be taken lightly. The Masih-ad-Dajjal crusaders are very close to mobilizing their troops!! But seems as though there is a true heart on the other end, the good Christians whom will follow the Masih-as-Sahih, standing with the Qom-e-Turk and defend the homeland and Muslimeen.
