Turkish court rule supporting returning Hagia Sophia museum again Mosques .

The US is pretty much an empire, in the sense that they had a dramatic territorial expansion in the first 100 years of its existence. It started out as 13 colonies and quickly engulfed everything up to the pacific coast. That's also conquest.

And yeah, colonialism and modern imperialism played an important role in the development of the industrial revolution. Cheap resources extracted from the colonies were transformed into goods en masse back home, only to sell them again to their colonies. Most of the historical buildings in Amsterdam for example, were financed with colonial money.

Protestant work ethic is an enormous factor

The US barely had any colonies but they were allready an industrial powerhouse by the end of the 19th century, surpassing Britain by WW1.

US itself was European colony. The European colonialists and their legacy hunted the natives to extinction.

What happens to Hz Maryam’s painting on the roof?

View attachment 649035

it should be erased you cant pray there with that..

Who asked your opinion my ancestors took it not yours. Its the spoils of war

if greeks would have turned it into a mosque than they would be ok with that.. in fact many turks have high greek genetic input still they will alianate us.. many turks also can say this building has been build by our forefathers/mothers and than our forefathers converted it into a mosque..

Cry me a river.

If we want to demolish the hagia sophia and build a strip club where european girls dance on our laps will do it none of your business.

This is an excellent answer.

Yes please
Whether you like it or not.
There was a time the few "intellectual" westernised elite imposed their will upon the muslim people in Turkey. And did so tyrannicaly for several decades.

If France bans right to wear hijab in university, high schools, beach etc it is a great tyranny. But when militant left winger Kemalists in Turkey do it it is democracy and secularism.

Of course, their country. Their decision. Their consequences.

There are also consequences to destroying Islamic places of worship. You don't hold a monopoly on consequences.

Erdogan himself is tyrranical.

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

Ok then go back to the IMF and tattered economy pre-Erdoğan.

Erdogan himself is tyrranical.

We heard similar before. As Taliban destroyed the old monument statue of Buddhism. Good luck.

Last I checked, Taliban were NATO's partners for peace.

On topic, if Turkey smashes Hagia Sophia and builds a strip club in its place just to teach you euro hypocrites a harsh lesson in irony and piss you off, excellent. If they do it for any other reason, not good.

All christian fundamentalists and populist Euro filth ever bang on about is the problem with mosques, the problem with adhaan, the problem with minarets, the problem with hijabs. You're one step short of becoming hindutva maniacs - be careful.

The West didn't get rich by looting others but by innovation and the industrial revolution.

Sorry I thought you were intelligent until you said that.

the world was silent on the martyrdom of The Babri Mosque...they have no room to complain now. Excellent payback by the Turks.
