Hagia Sophia isn’t a mosque? I had no idea it went back to being a church.

edit: Oh, it isn’t even a church. It’s a national museum. Golly gee wilkins.
 
Hopefully it goes back into a church. Although if St. Paisios’ predictions come true, the Hagia Sophia will supposedly return to the Orthodox, God willing.
 
They have protested over this before. I wish it would remain a museum, but my fear is the Muslims will get their wish and it will revert to being a mosque.

It served as Constantinople’s cathedral before the city was conquered by the Muslims in the 15th century.

Oh. I suppose there’s a snowballs chance in hell of returning it to that purpose. 😛

No. That is not true. It was gaining momentum long before that. They just decided ot was time for another protest.
