| #5 And from that baptism in blood the day NoMoreBS describes until Kamal Ataturk introduced secularism in 1935(?) it was a mosque. Until this week it was a museum — they even uncovered some of the glorious Christian mosaics in recent years, confident that the situation was permanent. At least there are now photos of them — who knows what destruction Sultan Erdogan I’s neo-Ottomans will glory in. |

| #4 Constantinople fell in 1453. In the first few hours the Moslem onquerors immediately trashed the cathedral and its Christian symbols and did hideous and cruel things on the altars and to the iconography. Read the original sources from the period referenced in Raymond Ibrahim’s Sword and Scimitar on the fall of Byzantium. |
