A house of the Muhammadans:

Whoa....

I thought you are an arabophobe.

I'm against Islam not Arabs.

Curious how you associate religion with race.

Besides, how do you know this is a Arab mosque?

There are a number of scholars who interpret Mohammedanism as a form of heretical Judaism... think of the similarities...

If it were me, I would have burned Hagia Sophia to the ground the moment the wall was breached than risk it being overtaken and converted to a Mosque.

Quote

On 29 May 1453, The Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Mehmet II, conquered Constantinople after a 54 day siege. He directly went to the ancient Byzantine cathedral of Hagia Sophia. When he saw a man hacking the stones of the church and saying that this was a temple for infidels, Mehmet II ordered the looting to be stopped and the church to be converted into a mosque.

Source

So Mehmet actually took pity on it.

Why "obviously"? You've never met a female construction worker?

He means 'obviously' in the sense that Eastern European women are very traditional and would never identify as 'construction workers.' The woman in the photo was carrying the log home for firewood.
