Hagia Sophia is not a mosque! It is a church build by Emperor Justinian!

[rentatrip1]

@mynameiswhatever -The building was a mosque from 29 May 1453 until 1934 it was a MOSQUEE for nearly 500 years - and it was used by islamic fanatics and all christians were either killed or routed out when the islamic terrorists took over the land were it was built - it could not have been built by Justinian because Justinian lived in the 500's and this was built -the date of its dedication in 360 until 1453 - so how could Justinian buld something 200 years before he was born?

@rentatrip1, if was the center of Christianity from 360 AD until 1453 when the muslims captured it.

[rentatrip1]

@MartinDHash - agreed - you are correct sir - however the comment seen above states "quote"

built by Justinian , my posted comment indicates the truth that Justinian could not build a building that was established 200 years before Justinian popped out of the womb, how could anyone make such a random nonesense statement - sounds like Gore taking credit for inventing the internet -Criminny GeeZZ

@rentatrip1

Al Gore never said that he invented the Internet. That myth gets repeated quite a lot and it's just silly. It didn't happen.

What he did say was that he took political initiative to get funding for research and development to help create the Internet. Which is true, he did.
