This should not just irk Greece, this should irk all Christendom. Prayers that one day: Hagia Sophia be restored to the living cathedral it was designed to be, and that Istanbul be reverted back to its original identity: CONSTANTINOPLE.

I float the idea of turning Istanbul back into Constantinople.

I think it would be great if Israel should turn that stupid dome thing into a synagogue.

Cool. Maybe we’ll turn Al Aqsa into an outhouse.

Muslims have done that to churches again and again. This is nothing new.

It was a mosque from after the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople until Ataturk overthrew the Ottoman Empire. Erdogan seems intent on overthrowing Ataturk's vision of a modern, secular Turkey.
What's next? Will he proclaim himself Caliph?

This should not just irk Greece Greek Orthodox name doesn't particularly pertain to Greece, it is the church of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine), and was conducted in the Greek language. As you say, it should irk all Christians, and everyone who respects history. As Christians were offended when the Taliban blew up Buddhist statues, everyone should unite against this muslim extremism.

That would be a giant step backwards, wouldn’t it?

The Church of Scripture is His assembly, and not a physical building.
If this buildings future identity is museum, or mosque, or palace, it is not a spiritual loss.
In fact, it might shake the assembly into going back to what God said is important.
To: CondoleezzaProtege
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk closed Hagia Sophia as a mosque in 1935 and declared it a museum.
His drive to secularize Turkey is now being undone by the would be Sultan Erdogan.
If he converts it into a mosque, Turkey should be immediately expelled from NATO and permanently denied entry into the EU.
Never trust a Muslim!

So typical of a doctrinaire Moslem, wanting to conquer everything and all that.

It has been a mosque for several hundred years.
To get the feeling of the place, Richard Haliburton got locked in at night and had it all to himself.
Wiki says they ceased using it as a mosque in 1931

All previous leaders of Turkey understood that to be a red line.
