To all the “that’s not a mosque, but a desecrated church” idiots, this used to be a *catholic* cathedral. On an island that was at the time mostly orthodox.
In other words: a church built by foreign invaders. Then other foreign invaders came and took it over.
Had the people who had this cathedral built not plundered the Byzantine Empire, there would probably have been way fewer churches converted to mosques overall.
Mosques have nothing to do with Europe
