How the Hagia Sophia became a mosque on this day in 1453

May 29, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Turkish President and would-be caliph Recep Tayyip Erdogan wants to turn the Hagia Sophia, now a museum in Istanbul, back into a mosque. But how did the Hagia Sophia become a mosque in the first place? Today is the anniversary of an awesome tragedy. On May 29, 1453, Constantinople, once the greatest city in the […]

“Refugee” “child” in Europe wears t-shirt celebrating Islamic conquest of Constantinople in 1453

Apr 20, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

What are the chances that this young man will gratefully accept the aid that Europe offers him, and become a loyal, stable, productive citizen of a European state? I have often noted that many of the migrants come with a supremacist ideology that they mean to impose upon their new homes. This young man’s t-shirt […]

Will Hagia Sophia Again Become a Mosque?

Apr 20, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

In 537, the Hagia Sophia was completed, as a church, in Constantinople. It remained the largest and grandest church in Christendom for nearly a millennium, until it was converted into a mosque after the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople (Istanbul) in 1453. The Muslims soon destroyed the bells, altar, iconostasis, and other relics, and the mosaics […]

Erdogan declares Istanbul is “Islam-bul”, not Constantinople

Jun 5, 2019 9:31 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan is inciting religious battle again in his supremacist bid to establish Islam above all faiths. He has now declared in his pre-election rant that “there are people who want to see Istanbul as Constantinople….this is Istanbul, also known as Islam-bul, this is not Constantinople!” Some other examples of Erdogan’s bid […]

On Columbus Day, remember: We owe the discovery of America to Islam and Muslims

Oct 9, 2017 3:48 pm By Robert Spencer

Without Islam, the United States would not exist. That’s right: without Islam, the United States as we know it would not exist. No, Reza Aslan has not knocked me over the head with a rock and taken over the writing of Jihad Watch, using my name. It’s absolutely true: if it weren’t for Islam and […]

ISIS to Trump: “You have your eyes on Raqqa and Mosul, but we have our eyes on Constantinople and Rome”

Jul 31, 2017 4:37 pm By Robert Spencer

You might think that Constantinople has already been conquered for Islam, but the Islamic State jihadis believe that no land is truly Islamic until it obeys their caliph. And they called it Constantinople because it is called that in ancient Islamic prophecy. “Imam Ahmad reported in his Musnad that Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Al-‘As (may God […]

Memorial Day and the conquest of Constantinople

May 29, 2017 6:56 pm By Robert Spencer

As we remember, with a debt of gratitude we can never repay, those who have died to keep us free, let us also remember what the consequences will be if we lose this great defense against jihad that the free world isn’t even seriously fighting. Today is May 29, the anniversary of the Muslim conquest […]

Canada: Imam says Rome will be conquered by Muslims, as Constantinople was

Feb 24, 2016 10:23 am By Robert Spencer

Because Muhammad prophesied it, you see. But whatever may be the objective merits of that prophecy (i.e., none), the fact that this imam in Canada believes it, and other Muslims believe it, make the prospects of peaceful coexistence on a longterm basis between Muslims and Christians in Europe dim at best. “Canada Friday Sermon by […]
