Turkey’s Hagia Sophia museum has been converted back into a mosque, after a court annulled
a 1934 decision to turn it into a museum. Once a cathedral, then a mosque and, until yesterday,
a museum, Istanbul’s famous landmark will reopen for Muslim prayers in two weeks’ time.

Happy to see the Mosque opened to all who wish to pray there. The ecumenical nature of the monument
is preserved; the area will be quieter and more deeply revered as a place of worship than a secular
museum - which it's designers and sponsors had never intended it to be. The conversion with noisy tour
guides, frequent closing for elite visitors such as Obama, and a constant stream of tourists who did not
necessarily respect any form of faith, did not provide an atmosphere conducive of spiritual reflection. Now,
anyone can pray there in quiet contemplation, and appreciate the beauty of its Christian mosaics.
It is Turkey's right to take this action.

Christians in countries where they made the majority they have become a oppressed minority.
So much for "Religion of peace ".
I am very very saddened.

It is the personal property of Roman not Christians ...it was long back 600 years ago became property
of ottoman sultan Fatih after he conquered Istanbul , so he converted it into a masjid ,until 1922 it was
a masjid ,Atatürk converted it into a museum ...now Erdogan is reverting back it into a masjid, so why
you ppl are so worried ... Ask Spanish government to revert churches into a masajid since they
converted masajids into churches forcefully...
