Turkey Converts Another Church into a Mosque
Turkey has converted yet another historic Greek church, the Chora Church, into a mosque According to the official website of Princeton University, the church was “described by Osterhaut as ‘second in renown only to Hagia Sophia among the Byzantine churches of Istanbul’.
“The original structure was built by the Holy Theodus in 534 in the reign of Justinian. In the 11th and 12th century, it was rebuilt by the Comnenus family and dedicated to Christ (thus the name, Christ in Chora).”
Ottoman Turks invaded Constantinople in 1453. They converted the Chora Church into a mosque in 1511.
Following Turkey’s founding, the mosque was converted into the “Kariye Museum and Museum Warehouse” in the 1940s.
In 2020, Turkey’s State Council decided to convert it back into a mosque.
There is absolutely no shortage of mosques in Turkey. According to 2024 official data, the number of mosques in the country stands at 89,817.
So why are authorities in Turkey constantly converting historic churches into mosques? It is part of Islam’s “culture” of looting and pillage.
Under political Islam, there is no equality for non-Muslims. They are seen as dhimmis, aka semi-slaves. The conversion of churches into mosques is a declaration of Islamic dominance over all other religions.
It is so ironic. The systematic abuse of different religions’ places of worship can only be a sign of total degeneracy and moral rot.
