As the old adage goes, Islam must dominate, and must not be dominated. Its supremacy must constantly be reasserted.
“Turkey turns another church into a mosque on Christmas Eve,” Greek City Times, December 26, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
This time in the conversion was made in the town of Ainos/Enez of Adrianopolis/Edirne
Edirne is in eastern Thrace, where, according to genocide scholars, the Greek genocide commenced in 1913, before the First World War.Turkey turned on Christmas Eve the Church of Hagia Sophia in Ainos (Enez), in Adrianoupoli (Edirne), into a Mosque (Mosque-i Sharif) after the completion of its restoration by the General Directorate of Institutions.
The church of Agia Sophia of Ainos (Enez) is a Byzantine building of the 12th century.
Mehmed the Conqueror Changed into the Mosque of Conquest in 1456 and now opens again with its former name.
“After last year’s inauguration of the Hagia Sophia mosque in Istanbul (sic), we are meeting here again today, for the inauguration of the Hagia Sophia mosque in Ainu-Edirne”, said Turkish President of Religious Affairs Ali Erbas.
The historic Christian church was not used due to damage from an earthquake. It was restored 56 years later and opened for the (Muslim) Friday prayer by Ali Erbas.
According to echedoros-a.gr during his speech, Erbas stated that Islamic culture is a culture that focuses on the mosque:
“A few months ago, we visited the Balkan countries. Where our eyes see a minaret, our hearts begin to flutter. Wherever we see a mosque or minaret, we are happy. We are now reopening the Hagia Sophia mosque in Edirne for worship. May Almighty Allah bless it. What a beautiful unity and solidarity we have that we are all here as institutions”….

Hatred and Jealousy. mozlums cannot allow anyone to have anything…they must possess everything because they are so very empty of anything inside…such as goodness, kindness, generosity, hope, joy, and esp Love..
They “steal, kill and destroy,” just as their demon ‘god’ and father, satan the devil, does as Jesus Christ confirmed when He said, “You are from your father the devil and you wish to do the desires of your father.” He said, “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.”
mozlums don’t allow churches to be repaired so then they can take them over and make their war barracks from the rubble, or from the standing structure. They are thieves and murderers.
And, they must keep doing this because islam is such a colossal failure at making them “the best” of anything.

the turks have got a provocatory act ready for every Christian religious holiday and also for national holidays. there has been a readyness to impose on all that the infidels may celebrate to darken it and they are profesionals until now historically…. as they use historical dates such as the birth of alexander the great for invasions, attacks, insults, violations of airspace or maritime zones and everything else they can invent to darken any celebration any public holiday…. it was expected that like every religious holiday in greece this time the turkish would enforce an invasion of immigrants similar to the one that took place on the borders on 2020 or the one in poland…. however the border mechanisms have been changing much since the previous invasion they performed…. so briefly the sultanate decided that another monumental mark of christianity be turned into a mosque just like the Hagia Sofia in Constantinople was, in order to darken Christmas and the rest of the holiday…. and ofcourse the publicity aims as a sad reminder to everyone, of the day the cathedral of Hagia Sofia in constantinople was turned into a mosque…. whatever they can do to insult christianity and greece….
this audacity of a thousant apes each of the sultanate has been gained by the modern genocides and islamic style executions of Christians in syria and iraq, armenia and within turkey itself by the turkish mercenaries…. all result of the appeasment method from the west, the turks have this behaviour historically not just now… just times when jihad calms down and periods when jihad in unleashed….
the ottomaniac chalifate historically every now and then returns to the barbaric practises of the old ottomaniac empire….

Turkey: On Christmas Eve, another church is turned into a mosque
…………..
I doubt this date–or location–was a coincidence. This Church is on a hill and can be seen from Greece–it is right on the border.
God, I hate Islam.
This historic Church dates to the 12th century. There was some talk about preserving it as a museum–but to what? The expulsion and murder of its worshippers?
Then this is this dishonest load of tripe:
Explaining why it should be re-opened as a mosque, Erdem [a spokeman] said the building was a “sanctuary that was consecrated as a mosque.”
“It is a foundation that can be put into service in line with its foundational charter. Thus its function will be preserved,” said Ertem.

In other words, the idea that the faith that murdered those who built the Church is part of its “foundational charter”. Sick, sick stuff.

The Muslims turning other church into a mosque on Christmas Eve is clearly has an obvious meaning to in in the worldview of Islam.
Still the Muslims doing this are still further showing their ignorance of Christianity and likewise the Bible.
For the actural birthday of the Christian Church didn’t occur on the night of birth of Jesus but the genuine birth of the Christian church happened just about over thirty later after the birthday of Jesus.
The true birth of body of Christ, meaning the first group of real Christians , was on the Day of Pentecost.
The account of this in found in Acts 3:1-42. So those Muslims who feel they have a symbolic victory of Islam over the Christianity by turning that church building into a mosque of Christmas Eve are actually taking part in a empty “victory.”

They way the islamists mark all over the art in the churches and claim they are mosques is sickening. There must be a level that the infidels can islam into a bloody mess and that will end it????
My email has always been this but it is FB who is blocking me again and that is why I cannot comment on Jihad Watch. Thank you Robert for all you do and I have learned so much from you.

Islam is already a bloody mess.
OLD GUY says
Try turning a mosque into a Christian church. The moderate muslims would have a fit, demanding someones head and the left media would interview every cleric in sight. But if Islam/Muslims take over a Christian Church or burn it down and kill the priest or minister and the congregation, silence.
