These people and their perverted religion are a cancer on the human race and a cancer that is malignant must be removed. As long as we are discussing anniversaries, 1,390 years of malignancy is quite enough.
It already basically IS a mosque, ...

I’ve been there and it sure looked like a mosque. I guess that technically speaking it’s not but they sure fooled me.
Just so. As is their habit, the Muslim conquerors converted the cathedral into a mosque, and used it as a mosque for centuries. They really get a kick out of turning churches, Buddhist, or Hindu temples into mosques or building on top of their ruins.
Then, when Turkey was transformed by Kemal Attaturk into a lay government, the Mosque was converted into a museum. But it is still a mosque.
Now that the Generals have stupidly lost Turkey back to the Muslim extremists, it can be expected that the Museum will be turned back into an active mosque.
I was puzzled by the year, too. Muzzies have their own calendar, so maybe it means something to them.
And you’re right, while it is now a museum, the Muslims made it into a mosque.
If you’re anywhere near NY, go to the Byzantium and Islam exhibit at the Met...it was much less favorable to Islam than I expected. It showed Christian and Jewish art before the Islamic takeover.
The holy church of divine wisdom is still God's church, no matter what the muslims do.
