@shagrathstian You cannot disrespect Islam, as it is written Christ says to forgive.Yes I do think it is still wrong tht the Turks turned it into a Mosque. But one action cannot decide the entirity of one religion. The Muslims are our brothers through Abraham Like the Jews are to us through Moses. Btw I am a Catholic for the record.
@pola4u That because when muslim start ghazwat from saudia out to egypt moroco spain no one to stop them , they changed the churches to mousces, spain took their country back and their churches. Is the church in spain look like a mousce?...no it was a church first,,,, aghya sofia and aljami3 alamawy in syria design as church. where are the churches in saudia ? mohamad distroyed them
@yasm2002 oh no doubt i mean the same thing happened im guessing as christians went through the new world (the americas) and took the aztec temples. But you said "what will happen in the world if christians took a mousce from muslims and change it to church....wow" and my response was spain more specifically the great mosque of cordoba.. which even you cant refute WAS a mosque and now a catherdral.. not unlike the agia sophia which WAS a church and turned into a mosque.. cool?
@pola4u The mousque of cordoba was a church and muslims change it to mousce , spain took it back. ....cool?
why muslims built almasjid alaqsa inirael on the tampel of jews? ...not enough places? but muslims love to control, see how no one jew or christian left in saudia, in iraq in 1948 they kicked iraqi jews today they are kicking iraqi christians and burn their churches
@yasm2002 what are you talking about? thats incorrect.. the great MOSQUE of cordoba.. was a mosque before the spanish took over in the 13th century.. but i dont understand why you have such an angry tone in your replys.. are you having a discussion with me regarding the mosques or are you trying to degrade muslims? i dont understand what the frustration is all about..why so frustrade bro?
@yasm2002 anyway hopefully you can continue discussing this with me.. just dont veer off and get all insulting about a religion. If you type in google "the history of the great mosque of cordoba" you will see that the church (which looked nothing like the mosque of cordoba) was purchased and completely renovated. Im pretty sure when the reconquista happened, the mosque wasnt sold but rather taken by force.
@pola4u thanks for calling me brother, islam calling us sin of pigs and monkyes.
I saw my first comment i dint see any frustration... you remind a muslim when i asked him the breastfeeding in islam she was mad to use these words...It is from islam not from me,,,
@yasm2002 again you are veering off our topic and attacking the religion directly. i dont understand why you cant stay on topic. THATS why i find frustration in your comments. you're so full of rage that in your haste to reply to me, you bring i religion into it. You dont see me belittling any other religion..so why are YOU attacking Islam when we are talking about churches/mosques and their conversion to opposite faiths.. now that thats said, reply to my previous comment directly thanks.
@pola4u Im not mad, I was telling u how some muslims say same like what u said to me, when i say to a muslm girl in islam there is breastfeedingto make me like her brother she didn tlike that, but she admit there is in religion breastfeeding.
What muslims did n spain... same what they do now in europe and usabuild mousces even if they dont need, so whenthey changed som churches to mousce because they came with army , than they left, wha do u want to do with it? where churches in saudia
Force of Arms, in latin referred to as Vi et Armis or Armorum VI, in which ownership has always been established by force; originally by the "Force of Arms and latterly by the force of law. We are all descendants and have become the successors in title to the goods taken from our ancestors by force of arms. As stated, the Hagia Sophia belongs rightfully to the Turkish Government and therefore they are under no moral obligations.
"Force of Arms" is a completely legitimate way of transferring ownership of territory,treasure and artifacts etc, even when good guys lose. Just ask the Americans they are experts on "Force of Arms". The Hagia Sophia belongs rightfully to the Turkish Government and therefore they are under no moral obligations
even though I am greek, I agree with you. alexander the great and the byzantine empire took plenty of things that wasnt theirs to begin with but became theirs....although, it would be nice if it was a church again.
Ηριστοσ ανεστη! Christ is risen! Christus ist auferstanden! 基督復活了！Христос Воскресе! Cristo Resucitado! Hristos vaskrse! Christus resurrexit! INDEED HE IS RISEN, MY BELOVED BROTHERS AND SISTERS!
Dont forget this 15.000.000 people every year see this ''miracle'' church and all want to see it works again after all these years. Merhaba turkiye from Athens Greece.
Its like vatican the center of katholics christians fallen to an arab nation or a fanatic religionary nation with other religion that takes this aeria and stop all the ''work'' of the church. So agia sofia is the center of the orthodox christianity truly. And its for many years under another religions nation like Turks. Turkey is a nation that must allow freedom to all religions such as orthodox christianity.
mamaturki acording to your statistics 15.000.000 people visit at Konstantinupol this greko-byzantine finest orthodox christian church every year. Most of these people are orthodox christians and some of them katholics christians. The matter is that this ''gift'' to world's christianity is not let by you the mongol tribe called turks to do its duty.... To ''work'' for its followers....
@PaganFreak9210 No One can ruin +Hagia Sophia. How do you talk like that? It is built for Our Holy Mother Virgin Mary. Angels wait there on every stone.
this was a church untill the muslims ruined it. do u relaly think muslims could build something so beautifull? this church will be liberated! like constantinople!
Get over it...stop dreaming instead build bridges
or perhaps you can donate some money for the restoration of it for future generations...it's not ours, it's not yours..Agia Sophia Museum belongs to the world..
No it doesn't. It belongs to the Orthodox, they built it, and they're still around. Just because someone appropriated it and used it doesn't mean it's 'everyones' now. This attitude is just used to justify taking cultures, religions and countries artefacts and heritage from them but it has no justification of it's own other than "We want to say it's ours too!" It's no different then your neighbors saying your grandparents house is "mine too!" when they die, just because they would like it to be.
and it was a church. full stop ur bllind if u can ignore that.. u wud NOT like it if mecca was conqured by the west and turnt in to a cathedral then as a museo? exactly! its the same.. but u muslim dont care about other people aand cant put ureselfs in ohters shoes..
Cyprus is a Grek country, but it is Cyprus. If they want to be independent, fine, but no way Turkish. Those Turks just tried to make a land-grab on an innocent, small, Greek nation.
missfecfer, it's easy to invade your land as your land was easily divided by different countries during WW1. And after we invade your land, we will take Hagia Sophia back to its real owners, plus, we will convert all mosques in your country into churches like what you did to Hagia Sophia.
Hagia Sohia is in Gods Name , Jesus Christ the leader of all that beleive in him, and all that one day will repent of their sins he will accept,he awaits you all patiently,you do not know what you are missing by not reading his teachings and the teachings of the Apostles.
Where many Gather in Prayer, it is Gods house, wether built by hands or by miracles.God sometimes gives us the courage and wisdom to accomplish many things, such as build a Structure for us to gather together and Praise him.

The use of it depends on the people..
The Byzantians-Greeks built it in order to work as church ,the turks made it a mosque and now its a museum.
The thing the muslims must understand is that for us Orthdox-crhristian this church is what Mecca is for you....
