Christians in Turkey have become a tiny minority. The few remaining Christian churches in Anatolia are also on the path to total annihilation.
Christians in Turkey have – throughout the centuries -- been turned into a tiny, dwindling minority. The remaining few Christian churches in Anatolia are also on the path to total annihilation.
Hagia Sophia in Trabzon: Church-mosque-museum and now mosque again.
The Hagia Sophia, Greek for “Holy Wisdom,” was one of the many historic Orthodox churches located in the city of Trabzon.
...
The city of Trabzon .. is located in the ancient land of Pontos, in the north-eastern Black Sea region of Turkey. The first Greek settlements appeared in the region as early as 800 BC....
The region is also central to the Christian faith. Pontos and its inhabitants are mentioned thrice in the New Testament. The Pontic (Pontian) people were some of the very first converts to Christianity. Trabzon had its own bishop as early as the First Council of Nicaea in AD 325.
Trabzon .. was the ancient capital of the Greek-speaking Komnenos Byzantine Kingdom (1204–1461) ... It survived until 1461, eight years after the fall of Byzantine Constantinople when both localities fell to the Ottoman Turks.
...
the Islamic State (ISIS) has also been busy converting historic churches into mosques in their self-declared Islamic caliphate .. In 2015, the Chaldean Churches of St. Joseph and of St. Ephrem in Mosul .. were turned into mosques by ISIS terrorists.
...
The intentions of Turkey and the Islamic State (ISIS) -- in terms of their treatment of Christians and churches -- appear to be quite similar, with one exception: The Islamic State is a rogue regime; Turkey is a NATO member and a candidate for EU membership.

...Why Turkey’s Historic Churches Are Being Turned Into Mosques...
That’s the command of Islam....
The Islamic Caliphate is gaining ground, according to plan.
The West has no moral authority or fight left in it.
The west’s daughters and pussified males will cower under dhimmitude, and in the future many of our grand daughters will wear hijab.
Islam is best compared to aggresive organisms like army/fire ants and africanized bees.
The weak west will be overwhelmed as islam advances, devours and colonizes.
Old conservative cranks need to recruit younger reinforcements Now, before it’s too late.
Islam and their liberal colaborators are liberty’s greatest existential threat.
Islam is the cancer of the world.
They will try it everywhere they go. They will try next in Europe. Watch what happens to see 0bama’s plan for us.
FMCDH.
Already happening : Germany’s decision a month ago to charge comedian Jan Boehmermann for reading an anti-Erdogan poem on his talk show in Germany.

Turkey’s European Mega-Mosque Complete, Erdogan To Preside Over Opening Ceremony.
Yet another enormous mosque has opened in the U.S. (funded by the Turkish government) in Maryland .
When the primitives do something like seize churches it’s practically ignored; when a western politician posits that it might be in our best interests to limit immigration from those countries it’s all over the news.
Had to look up the acronym.
Yes, in the words of Mr. Heston:
From my cold dead hands (FMCDH)
Europe is in stage 3 out of 5. The USA is in stage 2. 0bama stated that “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of islam”. When that becomes law we are at stage 3, just like cancer. At stage 5 you are dead.
Because Islam is a war plan.

It’ll happen here too. Christians are on their own in America and will lose their protection under the law.
We already have. As long as we are quiet liberals, happy, happy joy, joy.. When we speak up for children’s lives it’s a city council smackdown, if not the justice department.
Islam is from the devil.
Big difference, in America, Americans are ARMED, including Christians.
While Americans arm Turkey and Middle Eastern Muslims in countries where the churches are despoiled.
Are you in favor of a civil war between Christians and non-Christian Americans?
The Turks are going to pay for their behavior. Have Ionia given back to Greece, and partition the East to the Armenians and Kurds.
Let them rot in their rump state.
This country has gotten so badly divided that I am surprised that it did not have another civil war.
