Greek commentator Homer Pavlos posted a pointed statement on X yesterday, sharing photos of Muslims praying inside Hagia Sophia and calling the building's conversion into a mosque a symbol of what he sees as Islam's defining character. In his post, Pavlos wrote that "the conversion of Hagia Sophia into a mosque and Muslims praying in a building that does not belong to their historical or civilizational heritage, is the clearest proof that Islam is a barbaric religion that does not create, but only conquers and destroys." Pavlos framed the conversion as evidence of a broader pattern, arguing that Islam's relationship to Hagia Sophia reflects conquest rather than cultural or spiritual contribution. The statement is his opinion and reflects his personal views. #HagiaSophia #Greece #Turkey
