Russia warns Turkey over Hagia Sophia move

They are but no one's counting the dead as no one cares and there's no infrastructure to even count them

Their is counting going on and testing, but if you look at the intensity of the West as it spread Muslim countries got spared as we don’t have the level of tourism etc say the US or Europe. We’re still in much better position.

Link and information pls? I might be wrong so I'm curious

I’ll search it up but I believe it was the Basil Church.

Pakistan for example had some 6k per million when it comes to tests, a country like Romania has 41k per million....who do you think has a better picture? Granted, Pakistan had more tests but not enough with X11 times the population

Do you have a proof that Saint Basil was built from *mosque materials *?
 
.
No.It was constructed to honor the conquest not from a mosque
Well if you ask Tatars and search for their version of history, they claim that the churches in the Kazan Kremlin were built "on the graves of Tatars and their mosques".
 
.
These Vodkas destroyed so many mosques in Syria. Turkey should demolish it rather than converting it into a mosque.

What happened to the mosque of cordoba and similar structures in europe ?

Erdogan is unlikely to do it though, not sure about the court, overall turkey itself have an ideological identity crysis, its neither islamic nor fully secular.
It was Christian and returned to the Christians also using Spain as example is just stupid since it was Christian that got invaded by Muslims it it was liberated from the Muslim occupation

Russians can only cry
They couldn’t do nothing against Ukraine’s establishment of independent church which they consider as their own backyard of influence what can they really do against Turkey other than barking
Stop sending russian girls in Istanbul ;)
That madani is stupid like I explained before

When the Russians were slaying the Tatars and Chechens they didn't care about culture and civilization -- but now over a building they jumping up and down like a horny goat. I saw either tear this fucking building down or turn it into a Mosque to hell with them and their civilization.



After the Ottomans' took over 700-800 years it was a Mosque -- these Christians forget how Ivan the Terror build Moscow buildings using remnants of Masjids and used Muslim slave labor for it as well.

To hell with Russia and the rest.
Maybe you don’t know that the tatars were attacking and enslaving Russians and Eastern European’s and when Russia taught them a lesson they start to cry over their fake victimhood as for Chechens and Circassians yes they were victims of Russian imperialism

Russia Warns Turkey Over Hagia Sophia Move

AFP

July 6, 2020

Russian officials and the Orthodox church on Monday urged caution over calls in Turkey to alter the status of the Hagia Sophia, the historic former cathedral in Istanbul.

Turkey's top court is debating whether one of the architectural wonders of the world can be redesignated as a mosque, a move that could inflame tensions with the West and the Christian community.

A ruling expected in the coming days on the site, which is currently a museum.

The head of Russia's Orthodox Church Patriarch Kirill said he was "deeply concerned" by the moves, describing Hagia Sophia as "one of the greatest monuments of Christian culture".

"A threat to Hagia Sophia is a threat to the whole of Christian civilisation, and therefore to our spirituality and history," the Orthodox church leader said in a statement.

"To this day, for every Russian Orthodox person, Hagia Sophia is a great Christian shrine," he said, urging the Turkish government to be cautious.

He said that altering the current neutral status of the historic building would cause "deep pain" among the Russian people.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the future of the historic site was a domestic Turkish issue, but added that he hoped Hagia Sophia's status as a World Heritage Site would be "taken into account".

He said the former cathedral was a "world masterpiece" that has "sacred value" for Russians.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin told reporters Russia hopes "the global significance of the object will be taken into account".

Hagia Sophia was first constructed as a cathedral in the Christian Byzantine Empire in the sixth century but was converted into a mosque after the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453.

Transforming it into a museum was a key reform of the post-Ottoman authorities under the modern republic's founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.

But calls for it to serve again as a mosque have sparked anger among Christians and tensions between historic foes and uneasy NATO allies Turkey and Greece.

Hagia Sophia have been used as a mosque from 1453 t0 1920s

From 1920s to this date used as a museum.
to November 24, 1934.

Mimar Sinan was rebuilt Hagia Sophia. But before It was demolished and rebuilt 3 times during the Christian era. The current building is the silhouette of the 3rd Hagia Sophia, partly.

These idiots consider the entire Christian period as one piece. But they are so ignorant that they not know Cruseders burned the Orthodox churches in Istanbul and masacred people as heretics. Hagia Sophia was looted at that time.

Hagia Sophia has 4 periods during Christianity.
1. Early Christian period
2. Orthodox cathedral
3. Latin invasion
4. Orthodox cathedral again.

It is thought that there was a temple of Artemis on this site before the Christianity, due to archaeological finds. Briefly, the Ayasofya site has served the religious beliefs of its people throughout history.

It could serve as a mosque and a cathedral at same time.
Prophet Mohammad pbuh allowed Christians to do their prayers in mosques in their own way. Christianity is in no way contrary to Islam. But Judaism is

Can you give any reference from Sahih hadees ?
