>Miss Turkey wins Miss World
Why is this woman smiling? Lots of Christians were murdered by Muslims to enthrone a Muslim over the world. What a horrific picture.
Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Constantinople ~ (kòn´stàn-te-no´pel), former capital of the BYZANTINE EMPIRE and of the OTTOMAN EMPIRE, called ISTANBUL since 1930. It was founded (A.D. 330) at BYZANTIUM as the new capital of the Roman Empire by CONSTANTINE I and became the largest, most splendid medieval European city. Built on seven hills above the BOSPORUS, it had such magnificent buildings as the church of HAGIA SOPHIA and the emperors' palace (a city in itself), and many artistic and literary treasures. It was conquered in 1204 by Crusaders (see CRUSADES), in 1261 by MICHAEL VIII, and in 1453 by MUHAMMAD II. Almost depopulated when it fell to the Turks, the city recovered quickly, and was embellished by the Ottoman sultans who built palaces and mosques. After WORLD WAR I Constantinople was occupied (1918-23) by the Allies. In 1923 Kemal ATATÜRK made ANKARA Turkey's capital.
