Turkey Reconverts Another Church Into Mosque Amid US, EU, UN Opposition by Nigeriapen1(op): 12:17pm On Aug 22, 2020
NIGERIAPEN MEDIA

Turkish President, Recep Erdogan has issued a decree to reconvert a 6th century church-turned-museum in Istanbul into a mosque.

It is located a few kilometres from the famous Hagia Sophia that was opened to Muslim prayers in July.

A presidential decree published Friday on the official gazette, orders the Chora Museum to be opened for Islamic prayers.

Just like Hagia Sophia, the museum will be handed over to Turkey’s religious authority Diyanet.
Dpa reports that the building, also known as the Church of the Holy Saviour, was turned into an Ottoman Mosque in the 16th century.

In November 2019, Turkey’s top administrative court annulled the 1945 decision, paving the way for its conversion into a mosque.

The United States, European Union, Russia, UNESCO and church leaders opposed the change in status of Hagia Sophia.

Turkish population is about 85m while the population of Christians in Turkey is presently at about 300,000. The US and other Christian dominated nations watch as Christian population gradually deplete into insignificant figure in a place that is one of the ancestral homes of all Christians around the world without making any move to reverse that.
Also Turkish President made a statement, which i believe was read and clearly understood by all regarding hagia Sophia but since then no step was taken to ensure that the statement never materialize and now that it has, they want to push the few Christian in that city to their death through instigating statements.... That is a little too late

Please read history very well. Before the Muslim ruled Spain, who was ruling?

For what turkey is doing, same minds should condemn it in totality. This is what most Muslim won't take if done to them. Just imagine if Israel converts Aqsa mosque.

Mosque of Cordoba precisely.

However, note that the muslim invaders of Spain (the Moors) built the mosque, but the Europeans converted it into a church after they got their land back. Sounds justifiable to me.

Does Erdogan's decision sound justifiable?

And to think that Turkey used to be a Christian state before.

Exactly what will happen to us if we allow the children of Dan Fodio to take our land in the South.

It pains me so much that people don't read history to know where we are coming from. We are bound to repeat same mistake if we are not careful. I just shake my head when someone says nothing like that can happen in Nigeria with all the signs.

I just spoke to someone this morning saying a village in shiroro known for farming yam( Christian inhabitants) are gradually being taken away by herdsmen .Right now those guys have refused to return to farming and moved away from their village.

Be careful of the monsters you create because the monsters may end up eating its creator.

Pandering to religious sentiments for quick political gains never ends well.

Not my business. Let the Turkish citizens stop Erdogan. Atarturk legacy of Turkey is gradually being destroyed by the islamic fanatism of Erdogan. I see another succesful coup happening in Istanbul anytime soon, but this time sponsored by the young Turks.

Where is the conversion from Church to Mosque now?

If you read the small note in the story, then you will understand that you are talking nonsense and that your head is not correct because there is no coversion from Church to Mosque in the story. But because you a lazy youth with no future ambition beside drugs and betting, you find it difficult to read that the Church was converted to a Moseum in the 16th Century, that is about 400 years ago, and it is the Mosuem that is now converted to a Mosque after 400 years.
