Turkey: Thousands of Muslims screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ celebrate ‘reconquest’ of Hagia Sophia

By

“Allahu akbar” means Allah is greater, i.e., greater than your god, and Turks today are making no effort to hide their supremacist delight. “Videos of the Greek dismay were circulated gleefully among the crowd in Istanbul.” This is no surprise, since Hagia Sophia as a mosque from 1453 to 1935 stood as a symbol of […]

After Hagia Sophia, Muslim Ruler Wonders, Why Not the Cordoba Cathedral?

By

The ruler of Sharjah, among the lesser of the seven emirates that make up the UAE, has apparently been so impressed with Turkish President Erdogan’s turning Hagia Sophia from a museum into a mosque that he has “demanded” – not asked, but demanded – that the cathedral in Cordoba be turned again into a mosque. […]

Hagia Sophia turned to mosque: majority of Greeks want EU financial sanctions against Turkey

By

As the U.S. Catholic bishops joined the Greek Orthodox Church in proclaiming July 24 a day of “mourning and manifest grief” over Turkey’s decision to convert the Hagia Sophia cathedral to a mosque, the majority of Greeks want action. “Greeks have expressed dissatisfaction with the international response to the Turkish regime,” and the strength of […]

Erdogan invites Pope Francis to opening of Hagia Sophia as a mosque

By

Will his Islamic “friends” allow him to decline? Will he even wish to decline? More comments from me on this below. “Hagia Sophia: Pope’s Interfaith Time Bomb,” by Jules Gomes, ChurchMilitant.com, July 22, 2020: ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) – Greece’s president is urging Pope Francis to condemn the Islamic takeover of Hagia Sophia a day after Turkey’s radical […]

Muslim writer wants Christian mosaics removed from Hagia Sophia so Muslims don’t have to pray under image of ‘whore’

By

Zaimoglu was likely referring, as Sofuoglu did, to “images of the Byzantine empress Zoe. The Christian ruler married several times and is said to have had different lovers.” But doctrinaire Muslims don’t approve of images of Jesus, Mary, and the saints either, so if Zaimoglu and Sofuoglu are heeded, the historic Byzantine icons in Hagia […]

Turkey: “Banning Early Marriages is Fighting Against Allah”

A Muslim group in Turkey has set up a platform called “Turkey’s Platform of Family Assembly for Young Marriages” to defend child marriages and expressed their opposition to women’s rights advocates and international conventions, accusing them of “increasing prostitution and violence.” In a written statement, the President of the Platform, Adem Çevik, said that “to […]

Turkish Supreme Court: Mehmet the Conqueror Bought Hagia Sophia, So Of Course It’s a Mosque

By

My latest in PJ Media: No one should be concerned about the conversion of Hagia Sophia, the foremost cathedral in the Christian world for nearly a thousand years, into a mosque – at least according to Shahid Qureshi, writing Monday in a Muslim publication known as the London Post. Why not? Because Mehmet the Conqueror, […]

Hagia Sophia, Pope Francis, and UNESCO 

By

The U.S., Russia, Greece, the E.U., the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew, the Patriarch of Moscow and all Rus’ Kirill, even the left-leaning Israel-demeaning World Council of Churches and many others, have expressed various degrees of “grief and dismay” at the announcement by Turkish President Erdogan that from now on, Hagia Sophia would no longer […]

Vatican top dog: Conversion of Hagia Sophia to a mosque “should not be put down to current Islamic aggression”

By

In reality, that’s exactly what it should be put down to. But Körner no doubt feels compelled to try to preserve Pope Francis’ fiction that “current Islamic aggression” has anything to do with the teachings of Islam itself. Accordingly, he has to ignore Erdogan’s explicit grounding of the conversion of Hagia Sophia in Islamic terms. […]
