Hurrah!!
It only took 562 years!
And then it took a godless Soviet to accomplish it! Vlad the muslim-Impaler.
The current building was originally constructed as a church between 532 and 537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I and was the third Church of the Holy Wisdom [of God] to occupy the site, the previous two having both been destroyed by rioters. It was designed by the Greek geometers Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles.

According to Wikepedia...
THE SIEGE OF VIENNA
"The inability of the Ottomans [the koranimals] to capture Vienna in 1529 turned the tide against almost a century of conquest throughout eastern and central Europe. The Ottoman Empire had previously annexed Central Hungary and established a vassal state in Transylvania in the wake of the Battle of Mohács. According to Toynbee, "The failure of the first [siege of Vienna] brought to a standstill the tide of Ottoman conquest which had been flooding up the Danube Valley for a century past.
"There is speculation by some historians that Suleiman's main objective in 1529 was actually to assert Ottoman control over the whole of Hungary, the western part of which (known as Royal Hungary) was under Habsburg control. The decision to attack Vienna after such a long interval in Suleiman's European campaign is viewed as an opportunistic manoeuvre after his decisive victory in Hungary. Other scholars theorise that the suppression of Hungary simply marked the prologue to a later, premeditated invasion of Europe."
Sound familiar?
LEPANTO
The Battle of Lepanto was a naval engagement taking place on 7 October 1571 in which a fleet of the Holy League, a coalition of European Catholic maritime states arranged by Pope Pius V and led by Spanish admiral Don Juan of Austria decisively defeated the fleet of the Ottoman Empire on the northern edge of the Gulf of Corinth, off western Greece. The Ottoman forces sailing westwards from their naval station in Lepanto met the Holy League forces, which came from Messina, Sicily, where they had previously gathered." "The victory of the Holy League prevented the Ottoman Empire from expanding further along the European side of the Mediterranean. Lepanto was the last major naval battle in the Mediterranean fought entirely between galleys and has been assigned great symbolic and historical importance by several historians"
It is obviously high time for another brutal, final rout of the rich, oil-fueled savages, once and for all.
Yes, I hate all muslims, unapologetically. Come and get me.
Freedom of religion means exactly that. I can have no issues with any orthodox Christian.
Their rites are their own, and they should be left alone unless they intrude on secular matters : like our culture and Constitution.
As a Catholic, I prefer the Latin Mass. And you can keep your opinions otherwise to yourself.
Good! Finally somebody in the Christian world with some audacity.
You mean the former secular Turks?
Attaturk must be spinning in his grave...
That is a great start. We should have them give back the Temple Mount as well.
Wasn’t talking to you. Since you asked for my opinion though, I am Orthodox, although that’s irrelevant to this discussion. Calm down.
