Such a beautiful, historic landmark. I hope the Mohammedans do not get their way.

This is nothing more than a tit-for-tat demand by Muslims because the the Catholic Church will not permit the joint use of the Cathedral in Granada, Spain which was a mosque for about 300 years during the Muslim occupation of Spain.

As pretty as it is, I’d rather it be burned to the ground that let those mohammedan animals sully it again.

actually it was turned into a mosque when the Ottomans conquered the Byzantines.

The secular government turned it into a museum. So there shouldn’t be a problem turning it back to a mosque, except that if there is an earthquake the dome might fall down again and kill a lot of folks.

Next step is that they will demand Ephesus be turned over to the Moslems.

Just wait and watch.

P.S.

I was in Turkey many years ago, and I loved it.

They were very nice folks, and they loved their pets. They were, and I suppose they still are, very kind to little stray animals. They always had food out for them at the end of the day.

These are not the nasty Moslems one reads about. In fact, I never saw a head scarf. They were just every day folks according to our culture.
