The place does just fine and then the troglodyte Muslims come in and wreck it just like they wreck everything else.

Perhaps they should only use cleaning methods that were used during its heyday.

You don’t think Ol Justin had a Zamboni? The Turks could check in with the Frogs about maintaining neat old buildings like, oh, say, the Notre Dame?

Went there back when it was a museum, it was very impressive. Quietly prayed in a corner.

Was there a few years ago very nice building and with so much history. Istanbul is a city worth 2-3 days visit, get a turkish bath they are amazing.

WTF is this in the Hagia Sofia? (from article photo of banner)
To: taxcontrol
Wow. Very cool that you have been there. Not sure I would go to Instanbul now.

“When Hagia Sophia was a museum, people visited it with great respect. It’s like a fairground now.”
Pretty ironic. Turning the Hagra Sophia back into a mosque attracted the uncouth.
