Hagia Sophia - church or mosque or museum? What should it be?

As it was the Christian custom to turn pagan temples into Churches. Looking at you Pantheon.

And that explains and excuses everything?

I’m saying that converting the previous religions holy places to their own was not in any way a thing that was only common in Islam. Basically every religion of the day did it.

Let the people of Turkey decide.

No.
They do not decide anyway.
Erdogan does.

And do you realize that it is a WORLD HERITAGE?
Probably not.

Thank you.

Whenever I hear people carping on Muslims like they were some kind of special evil for converting churches into mosques, I can safely assume they are ignorant of actual history.

It is quite sad that the Hagia Sophia is a mosque again now.
