The Beautiful Byzantine Hagia Sophia, now under Muslim Turkey. Notice the Arabic calligraphy depicting sections of the Koran
Hagia Sophia is one of the most important, and earliest of the Christian churches. It was originally built during the 4th century in Constantinople – albeit burnt down and rebuilt in the 6th . When Muslim Turks conquered Constantinople, not only did they change the city’s name to Istanbul, but also converted this great church into a mosque.
Although now Hagia Sophia is a museum, there are some eerie reminders that it still really is in Muslim hands, especially with those discs of calligraphy in Arabic script scattered around.
This occurred in 1453. Yet, right under the eyes of European Catholics, Muslims are converting churches into mosques.
In Belgium now, illegal immigrants, with the blessings of Catholic bishops, are seeking refuge in churches.
But not only that, they are converting those churches into mosques.
At least the Byzantines put up a fight. When will the Catholic bishops realize their supreme error?
