TURKEY ON THE WAY TO A CALIPHATE UNDER ERDOGAN: ISTANBUL'S FIFTH CENTURY CHORA CHURCH TURNED INTO A MOSQUE~GOVERNMENT CLAIMS IT WAS ORIGINALLY A MOSQUE

The Church of the Holy Saviour in Chora (GreekἘκκλησία τοῦ Ἁγίου Σωτῆρος ἐν τῇ ΧώρᾳTurkishKariye Müzesi, Kariye Camii, Kariye Kilisesi) is a medieval Byzantine Greek Orthodox church preserved as the Chora Museum in the Edirnekapı neighborhood of Istanbul.[1] The neighborhood is situated in the western part of the municipality (belediye) of the Fatih district. In the 16th century, during the Ottoman era, the church was converted into a mosque; it became a museum in 1948. The interior of the building is covered with some of the oldest and finest surviving Byzantine mosaics and frescoes; they were uncovered and restored after the building was secularized and turned into a museum.

Could the Hagia Sophia be next? What would stop Erdogan from doing that? For him, all these churches are just artifacts of jahiliyya, the society of unbelievers, and worthless, while if they are made into mosques they can show forth the supremacy and victory of Islam.
“Istanbul’s Chora church turned into a mosque. Fears mount for fate of Hagia Sophia,” by Marian Demir, Asia News, November 6, 2019:
Istanbul (AsiaNews) – The State Council has decided that the ancient Church of Saint Savoir [sic] Chora, be returned “to its initial cult”, that is to be used as a mosque. The pro-government newspaper “Yeni Şafak” reported this yesterday.
Orthodox Christians and Catholics fear that this decision could set a precedent for the Hagia Sophia, also under the threat of being transformed from a museum into a mosque.
The Church of St. Savior of Chora was built in the fifth century, and is located in the western district of Istanbul of Edirnekapı. It is one of the most splendid examples of Byzantine art, and still preserves mosaics and frescoes. Only since 1511 was it used as a mosque by the Ottoman Turks. In 1945 it was transformed into a museum until today….
The decision of the State Council for the church of Chora could open the way for a “Mosque of St. Sophia “.

The progressive utopia rolls on

The Swedish government will hand out the equivalent of $175,000 dollars from the inheritance money of dead Swedes without heirs to fund drag queen shows for children.
You just can’t stop progress!
The Public Inheritance Fund, a state body that manages the money, will give the cash to ‘Kulturföreningen Mums’ in Stockholm, which will use it to organize transvestite and transgender events where fairytales are read to children.
“The project will, together with children, young people and adults with disabilities, develop available normative creative fairy tales in the form of drag shows. Together with the target group and several organizations, the established business Among dragons and drag queens will create new fairy tales that reflect the target group,” writes the General Heritage Foundation.
The funds will be used to promote projects “based on the needs and wishes of the target group” which includes “drag show workshops” based around drag queens reading books to children in libraries.
Other large chunks of money from the inheritance pot are being handed out to left-wing groups, including one that promotes “a higher climate commitment” for young people.
Despite Sweden being a progressive utopia which punishes its own citizens who question pretty much anything like this, respondents on Twitter weren’t so enthusiastic.
One of them described the situation as “economic-necrophilia,” while another said, “Note to f---ing self: Don’t let your children near these people.”
