Not possibly legal?? Even though it was built as a CHRISTIAN CATHEDRAL???

Coming to a country that we love, if we don’t win in November.

I’m frankly surprised that none of the great cathedrals of Western Europe have been turned into mosques yet, especially in countries most overrun by Arabs and Africans like Belgium, Holland, and France.

If I recall correctly, Turkey is a majority Muslim country, but has been a secularized country, up until now. That’s why the Hagia Sophia was a museum and not a mosque.

I suspect that militant Muslims are having greater influence in Turkey nowadays, which has resulted in this action.

Many churches in America, particularly Catholic churches, have closed down in recent years. This has happened due to declining populations in some areas, along with declining membership of churches. I’ve heard that Catholic parishes have been consolidated in many places, leaving unoccupied church properties. Some of those properties have been sold off.

I would not be surprised if some of those old churches becomes mosques.

The Cathedral of Cordoba is known variously as “the Great Mosque of Cordoba” or “the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba.” It is properly known to Christians as the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption. The site, prior to Islamic conquest, was the Christian basilica of Saint Vincent Lérins.
Will Hagia Sophia be called “The Cathedral Mosque of Constantinople” or “the Great Cathedral of Constantinople”?
Didn’t think so.
