@maksimologija Well, I mean, there are several mosques in Istanbul which have a very similar architectural typology, and built to the same scale.....so clearly, there was nothing preventing them from building something of a similar stature.

@DomFenucchae That's not right. If you look at the Islamic imitations, they were unable to replicate the suspension of the dome. That's why the Mosques all have huge pillars where Hagia Sophia has free space.

@maksimologija Stop the copium and fix your problem of empty churches in the West

@Q__rs

@maksimologija 🤣 builds these 👇🤣

@SakisVlachos1 Brutal

@maksimologija They literally built a bigger and more majestic domed mosque next door 🤣

@13i139141 False

@maksimologija Same people.

@HiddenTiger0 ?

@maksimologija Why would you say something like this? Of course it hurts losing a symbol and a landmark icon such as The Hagia Sophia and Constantinople. Didn't the Palestinians lose Jerusalem? They lost the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa mosque.

@HaniGhraizi That's a classic piece of cope and whataboutery Haghia Sophia isn't simply a "symbol" or "landmark". It's a *Church* and *Cathedral* — the central Cathedral of Orthodox Christianity — which was desecrated by the Ottoman horde.

@maksimologija What about the Blue Mosque?
