Ottoman sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan has signed a decree opening the world-famous Hagia Sophia as a mosque, after a court ruled that its conversion to a museum in the 1930s was unlawful. As Turks are basically impaling the heart of Christian Orthodoxy dumb retarded Eastern Europeans go in droves to Turkey in vacations, especially Romanians, but so do Russians. Turkey is cashing billions in tourism from those stupid Orthodox tourists while shitting on their religion… incredible!
The court ruled on Friday that the 1934 decree converting the ancient Byzantine cathedral into a museum was not lawful. Immediately after the ruling, Erdogan shared a copy of a decree on Twitter, mandating that the site be turned over to the country’s religious directorate and reopened for worship.
In a televised address later in the evening, the Turkish leader said that the first prayers will be held in the Hagia Sophia on July 24.
Dating back to the 6th century, the Hagia Sophia is one of the most visited cultural sites in Turkey, as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
UNESCO has expressed concern over Erdogan’s vision for the historic structure, noting in a statement on Friday that the building has a “strong symbolic and universal value.” It called on Turkey to “engage in dialogue” before taking any steps that might impact its universal value.
Even before his decree was issued, the Turkish president’s plan was condemned by leaders of the Russian and Greek Orthodox churches, who warned that it would be seen as an affront to Christians and create a fracture between East and West. Washington has also urged Turkey to maintain the Hagia Sophia as a museum.
Moscow has also highlighted the cultural significance of the building while acknowledging that the matter was an “internal affair” for Turkey.
Erdogan himself said that opening the Hagia Sophia for worship will not prevent local or foreign tourists from visiting the iconic site, which he said is a part of “humanity’s common cultural heritage.”
“Like all of our other mosques, the doors of Hagia Sophia will be open to all, locals or foreigners, Muslims and non-Muslims,” he added.
It is shocking to see that America who has almost ZERO Orthodox Christians is more upset over this than Orthodox countries like Russia, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Serbia and others. Makes you wonder why nobody is fighting over their rights and religions in the white world anymore. Cowards! All cowards! Well at least USA said something!
As you can see there is no such thing as diversity and tolerance. One cathedral we whites had there and nope, they couldn’t even have that, they had to destroy that too. Shouldn’t our authorities be doing the same in Europe though? Demolishing all mosques? Christianity is dead, nobody fights for it anymore, not even with words, let alone with actions, therefore its dead. The last remnants of it will gradually disappear as time goes by.
