it has nothing to do with western Christian Zionism. The building should be given back to the Christian orthodox as a gesture of apology and respect. This will show Muslims in a positive light to eastern Christians.
Hagia Sophia might be converted to a mosque, Erdoğan says
24.03.2019
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Sunday voiced the possibility of converting the Hagia Sophia, which has been used as a museum since 1935 and is considered one of the world's wonders, back into a mosque.
"This is not unlikely. We might even change its name to Ayasofya Mosque," Erdoğan said during a live interview with Turkish broadcaster TGRT.
"This is not a strange proposal," he said regarding the calls for converting the ancient building to a mosque that it served as for hundreds of years.
"As you know, the mosque was converted to a museum in 1935, as a reflection of CHP mentality. We may as well take a step and change that," he concluded, pointing to the harshly secularist policies of the 1930's Republican People's Party (CHP), which is the main opposition today.
The Hagia Sophia was built in the 6th century during the Christian Byzantine Empire and served as the seat of the Greek Orthodox Church. It was converted into an imperial mosque with the Ottoman conquest of Istanbul in 1453. The structure was converted into a museum during the strictly secular single-party rule in 1935, but there have been discussions around converting it back to a mosque, with public demands to restore it as a place of worship gaining traction on social media.
In 2015, a cleric recited the Quran inside the building, a UNESCO World Heritage site, for the first time in 85 years. The following year, Turkey's religious authority began hosting and broadcasting religious readings during the holy month of Ramadan and the call to prayer was recited inside on the anniversary of the first revelation of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).

Do it! The way Trump moved US embassy to Jerusalem and recognized Golan heights as Israeli territory, I don't see why Muslims should not do it.

Did the non muslims give Palestine back or Kashmir back as a gesture of apology and respect? Why should the muslims always bend over backwards?

No. That was in the reign of Tsar as well. Russian conquest and slaughtering of Muslims in Central Asia was between 1839-1895 way before USSR.that was ussr soviet union regime.

This is stupid !
This is a historical place ... Not a political tool !!!
No "Great" Persian Empire to see hereThis is stupid !
I think it should be left as it is, no need of new controversy.
After what they did to Jerusalem and now Golan.... I think something has to happen. We're headed towards another Crusade anyway.

I thought Muslims were not allowed to take over with force and convert places of worship?
Would be a better move if he gave it back to orthodox Christians.
