A 900-year-old Christian church in Turkey is to be renovated into a functioning mosque—despite former governmental assurances that it would likely be renovated into a museum.
Foundations General Director Adnan Ertem argues that the building was a “sanctuary that was consecrated as a mosque…. It is a foundation that can be put into service in line with its foundational charter. Thus its function will be preserved.”
Enez’s Hagia Sophia, the name of the ancient church, is located inside the city of Ainos, along the border with Greece and stationed atop a hill, visible to all.
Another several-hundred-year-old church, Hagia Sophia in Trabzon along the Black Sea, although a museum for many years, was reopened in July 2013 as a mosque.
For many Muslims, the ultimate Islamic triumph will come when the primary Hagia Sophia in Istanbul (Constantinople), which is currently a museum, is transformed into a mosque—as Turkish leaders recently threatened when Pope Francis acknowledged the Armenian Genocide.
The effing Turks are at it again. After the Armenian / Syrian holocaust that resulted in the killing of several million ARAB and ARMENIAN Christians, they are still U repented, and continue to ignore world opinion.
Such religious barbarians unfortunately only understand the gravity of a blade to the throat and well, they live by it.
While we wage an intellectual war against these mediaevally indoctrinated gang of savages, we must remember that turning the other cheek in response to their impertinence should stop when violence becomes the norm, else there won’t be another cheek to even offer.
If the Christians do not unite with their fellow Christian and Jewish brethren, one will continue to see such impertinence shoved in our faces by a colonialist that should have been purged from the pages of reality decades ago only to be allowed to live on as history as a reminder that mindless savagery only leads to self-extinction.
