what was their fucking problem

researching with adhd is dangerous stuff. i tried to look up stuff about angels in islam and thirty minutes later here i am enthralled doing a deep dive on the wikipedia entry for the hagia sophia mosque

#tldr; the hagia sophia is a mosque (islamic place of worship) that got converted into a museum during ww2 #and stayed like that until fairly recently in 2020 when they unmuseumed it. now it's a mosque again #and quite a few people were very much not happy it was no longer a tourist attraction #mind you im getting this information secondhand from the internet and im dramatically not islamic #idk. if they wanna use a mosque like a mosque good for them. it's interesting to read about at least
