Mosques of Europe which were turned into churches

My problem with this whole affair is that a self proclaimed modern secular state like Turkey pulls this cheap trick in 2020.If they would have left it a mosque since 1453 uninterrupted I would have had no issue.

Pretend like that is what happened and relax. You can still visit Ayasofya. There are no restrictions.

Why is a museum greater than a masjid? In one, the name of God is mentioned, in the other people walk and take pictures, which gives more sanctity to the building?

No one is asking Spain and Portugal, or even Greece, to change back churches into masajid. It is their country, their rules.

Muslims have the same prerogative.

most Muslims were slaughtered INCLUDING CONVERTS who converted willingly and their children
Yes, like in all medieval wars. You are very unhappy when Islamic invaders are defeated but happy if the situation is reversed.

Reality is much different than this even. Look up Arian controversy. ME Christians were excommunicated by Rome and harassed, killed for believing in the humanity of Jesus.

No doubt Islam was accepted so quickly in the Holy Land and Egypt.



Europeans have no problem with Israel seizing Al Aqsa and Bait us Sukhra, but they cry over Ayasofya.
??i but there is still mosque Aqsa standing on Israel soil instead of synagogue. If you convert a cultural inheritance to mosque, you have to respect others sovereignty.
Now Israel has got solid right to convert Mescid-i Aksa to a jewish temple which used to stand there.

The truth is that the Romans destroyed the temple, not Muslims

nope, we are not..i am not defending any islamic invasion that led to killing of innocent people, forced conversion or forced conversion of mosques..
question is are you?

even today mosques are not allowed to be built in Athens, and Muslims have no religious freedom in many of Europian countries with multiple bans..

the only reasons why Muslims are allowed into Europe is that Europeans arent having children..and there is no one to take care of their old men in a nursing home..that is the reality

Romans had destroyed but arabs built a temple. The mere fact is the jewish temple was destroyed and new Jewish state has rights to rebuild it. It is not punishment. It is the matter of cultural inheritance.
Who cares who destroyed the temple, if a country has sovereignty , it can reign over temples as Turkey did.
We should respect Israels future acts.

Some places of worship were even turned into zoos . there exists one such place in the Hungarian capital Budapest.

They were thrown out because countries don't want a fifth column within their population. That's why Turkey expelled over 2 million Christian Greeks and Armenians at the beginning of the 20th century.
It's not pretty, it's not moral, but countries do it for their survival.
Muslims have plenty of freedom in Europe otherwise they wouldn't come here in droves.

BS. Muslims can practice their religion more freely in Europe than in their countries.
Europe has a load of mosques.
Muslims escape from asia to EU to survive.

That's to bad. Many French colonists were born in Algeria but they, and many Algerians who helped them, were forced to leave when the natives won the liberation struggle.
Too bad, being born somewhere, doesn't change your ethnicity.
Those were still French, also by nationality.
