In the Turkish sector of Nicosia, the capital, other Greek families milled around what was once the medieval St. Sophia Church, now appointed with a large minaret and converted into a mosque.

Muslims pull this kind of crap elsewhere, too. Bangladesh, for example, where thousands of Hindu temples have been converted into mosjids (mosques) by the local government. And in Pakistan, too. And in India, until a few hundred years ago (i.e. during Muslim rule).

So, I find this very easy to believe. Now, my question is this - is Turkey is so secular, why do this?
