Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday again suggested turning Hagia Sophia, originally a Byzantine Christian cathedral, into a mosque - after making a proposal on Sunday, which "triggering a reaction from Athens."
Hagia Sophia was built in the 6th century and was the main seat of the Greek Orthodox Church before it was turned into a mosque following the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople (now Istanbul) in 1453.
The site became a museum after the formation of modern secular Turkey in 1923, the report said.
There are few things in this world more paranoid, more fragile, and more ready to lash out any everything and everyone than Turkish nationalism. Turkey has more mosques than working toilets.

Hey Albo trolls, making you can teach Uncle Erdogan how to steal something and try to make it your own. The crazy thing is that the student might have surpassed the teacher.
Here's something that I've learned recently that most people here don't know - except maybe the Albos. It is a common thought in the Muslim community (Albos, try not to say you're not Muslims (this is the majority of you people, so live with it - you chose it) that once they occupy a land (stealing or by force) they are NEVER allowed to retreat or give the land back. To do so, is considered to be the most humiliating deed ever. I believe this might also be in some text, but not sure about this - so, if anyone can shed some additional light on this matter, I would like to know more. If your recall the beating the Ottomans took in Austria when the Polish came to help in a surplice attack - the Sultan at the time was murdered because he couldn't take Austria and he lost additional land that they controlled. SO, in a nut shell, this is why the Albos have a tough time losing any ground in the area they overbred and believe belongs to them by this silly Muslim Law, or unwritten rule, or whatever.
