You stay out of this. I know what I am doing.
Forget Spain, in Greece Mosques have been converted to churches and movie theaters.
In India that is their country, they can do whatever they want.
The rotonda was a Roman building that was later converted into a church. It functioned as a church for centuries and when the Ottomans conquered Thessaloniki,they converted it into a mosque.
Fanatic for what? Why? Musharraf is not liberal,but he's not a Salafi hardcore secret TTP-lover like you
On the contrary,heOh don't you know? I'm "Indian,Israeli,Arab,Persian"...now I see I'm a "well-known commie". Sure,it's hard for you to accept people of a different nationality here. You only want to listen to conservative Sunni Pakistanis and Erdogan-loving Turks.
And it was an Orthodox Cathedral for more centuries before the Ottomans came.
Your muslim brothers disagree with you.

Hey hypocrite, in Greece many mosques were converted to churches.The rotonda was a Roman building that was later converted into a church. It functioned as a church for centuries and when the Ottomans conquered Thessaloniki,they converted it into a mosque.
So it wasn't a mosque to begin with.
Ottomans invaded our lands and built mosques,but also converted A LOT of our churches into mosques. After the liberation,the churches were converted back to churches and many mosques were shut down,turned to museums or demolished. And still,in present-day Istanbul,there are dozens of Byzantine churches that function as mosques. The shame is with your Turkish "brothers".

And what is wrong with being a Salafi? Admit it, you are just anti-Islam.The rotonda was a Roman building that was later converted into a church. It functioned as a church for centuries and when the Ottomans conquered Thessaloniki,they converted it into a mosque.

And what was it before the church?
It must be really bad to be such a minority in your country. Your own compatriots don't like your approach. Good thing not all Muslims are like you.
Its good not all Christians are hypocrites like yourself. On one hand when mosques are converted to churches in Greece or Spain you stay quiet. But when a church is converted to a mosque in a Muslim country, you cry foul.
It was built as a Christian Cathedral and finished in 537 A.D.

After the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire in 1453,[14] it was converted to a mosque by Mehmed the Conqueror. The patriarchate moved to the Church of the Holy Apostles, which became the city's cathedral. Although some parts of the city had fallen into disrepair, the cathedral had been maintained with funds set aside for this purpose, and the Christian cathedral made a strong impression on the new Ottoman rulers who conceived its conversion.[15][16] The bells, altar, iconostasis, ambo, and baptistery were removed and relics destroyed. The mosaics depicting Jesus, his mother Mary, Christian saints, and angels were eventually destroyed or plastered over.[17]
Well, even Christianity was an “invader” to the byzantines. If anything the Abrahamic religions are all local to the middle east and therefore not part of the ethnic narrative as such.
Byzantines were majority ethnic Greek,so Byzantion/Constantinople had a continuity.
Christianity was not an "invader" to Byzantines,because what we can the Byzantine period,starts after the empire was transferred from Rome to Constantine and especially when the Roman Empire split into two parts. By then,Christianity was already dominant in the Empire.
Of course it is. Because it is a provocation by Erdoğan. And exactly when he had built new huge mosques. If it's going to used as a place of worship again,then why not use it as a church? It was originally a church.
Yes cities do evolve with the centuries. Have you seen New York for example? London?
