This church was built by Justinian. One of the last great Roman Emperors. This is a church, which was converted to a mosque. This church is the blueprint for the way all mosques are built.

A western ruler built this, for a western religion.

Now I ask you, why do Muslims pray and plot in buildings Designed by a western infidel?

Um, because like all religions, Islam does not encourage cognition, reason, individualism, or innovation as ideals? T "The advocates of mysticism are motivated not by a quest for truth, but by hatred for man's mind." - Rand
