Islamic hordes then were just doing what Mohammad told them to--kill all those who won't submit to Islam. Last time I checked, they're still at it.

In May 1453 Islamic hordes surrounded Constantinople and blasted down the thick walls of the city with a huge cannon. Years before, the Muslims, town by town, conquered the area around Constantinople and put those who wouldn't submit to Islam to the sword. In the final months before the siege they had cut off the supply of Olive oil into the city. Residents had used Olive oil for light and food. Do you see any parallels between 1453 and today?

Besides, The Roman Catholic Church offered to send many, thousands of troupes throughout (Catholic) Europe to meet up with Constantinople troupes to fight against Ottoman forces, but only on a few conditions and that's King of Constantinople would bow down and allow Rome to control all of the church and land from then on! The answer was ... NO! The King rather die with what forces he had! The Ottomans WAY out numbered Orthodox and various other forces! Don't brag ... they won by numbers!

Oh! Are you implying that when Agia Sophia was ORIGINALLY and INITIALLY built was it to build a Mosque? Please explain .... did Muslims originally build this structure? Mmmmm ... interesting.
