“Moderates” and “extremists” alike, all too many Muslims love to engage in intimidation, and attempt to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60).
Now that he has prayed Islamic chants inside this church, he or other Muslims could claim it as Islamic property and convert it to a mosque. This idea goes back to the ninth-century legend of the caliph Umar in Jerusalem. This legend has it that when the Muslims conquered Jerusalem in the year 637, Sophronius, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, invited the caliph Umar to pray in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Umar declined, explaining that if he did, the Muslims would convert the church into a mosque, as Muslim prayers had been uttered there.
This is really unacceptable. No other way to describe it. And I always try to choose my words carefully.

Actually I am surprised a functioning Greek Orthodox monastery still remains in the Turkish zone of occupation.

It’s ultimately all about “them.” You know, “the best of peoples” (Sura 3:110) and all that tendentious and destructive rot.
somehistory says
too true, Wellington. And in their minds, their thought is “It’s all about ME,” according to the psychopaths that they are.
Rot of the brains…wonder how it would look on a pet scan or MRI.

I think that you’d see an outline of a rat on a treadmill.

I’m surprised there are any Orthodox left in Turkish occupied Cyprus.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, I originally thought this happened in the Greek part. Reading that it happened in the Turkish part surprised me: I thought they had ethnically cleansed that part of the island of Greeks (just like there are no Hindus in Azad Kashmir)
Only a world war that has Turkey on the wrong side can liberate Northern Cyprus, Constaninople, Armenian NE Anatolia and Kurdish SE Anatolia from the descendants of the greatest genocidal race in human history

About islamic ‘prayers’/Fasting.
The allah of islam is NOT the Biblical God,so ‘prayers’ to allah have no efficacy anyway.
When muslims ‘pray’ ,they ‘pray’ to their god allah {“the BEST of deceivers” whose greatest enemy is a mysterious man called the KiNG OF KINGS{Sahih Muslim vol 5 hadith #5611}: muslims don’t get the clues.islamic fasting is worthless for the same reason.
That’s allah whose identity is revealed in 2 Corinthians 4:4
When muslims ‘pray’ to their god allah in the stolen property of the Hagia Sophia they are ‘praying’ to their deceiver god not realizing that they are ‘praying’ on STOLEN property of the One who will judge them.. and that’s not allah.
Remember that too when you see triumphalist muslims rejoice in occupying Christian churches.
islam is an antichrist cult.
Will they get that ?No.allah has not given them intelligence.
And as i have said many times..
Members of the religion of peace NEVER get Irony.
FYI says
In the event of muslims entering any Christian church spouting their gibberish it’s like this..
Rhubarbrhubarbrhubarb allahu akbar Rhubarbarbrhubarb
Such islamic gibberish is not directed at the Biblical God but at the deceiver god of islam allah{thunder,lightning}Note that allah’s greatest enemy is a man called the King of Kings.
It is not even a coincidence the the muslim ‘prays’ with his fraudulently pious butt in the air.
muslims may think it is islamic property but allah is NOT the Biblical God who unlike allah ALREADY owns the world.allah is a different god
I trust someone will sweep the place clean..maybe incense..efharisto polee …Yasu.
{I love the Greek Bible!}
Bushan mehra says
The same thing from other religion ,they will never tolerate.so weak religion is this.infact it is a cult.
OLD GUY says
Makes me wonder what would the out-come be if a Christian or Jewish person went into a mosque and started to read from the Bible? Media explosion!
