These mosques and churches have no use anymore since there is no one left to worship in them. So it is pointless to reopen them. It is only a rhetorical question.

Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)
1] What you CAN NOT post.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene
You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)
The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!
2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.
This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.
3] Keep the focus.
Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.
4] Behave as you would in a public location.
This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.
5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.
Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.
6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.
Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.
7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.
- PLEASE READ -
Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.
8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)
If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

Originally posted by nakharar95% of Spanish population during the Muslim Era were Spanish Christians by the way. True the Muslim leaders there were benevolent and tolerant. But as soon as the reconquista started the Christians flocked to their Northern brothers. Blood is thicker than water.
You seemed to forget that the Ottomans used the Haghia Sophia as a mosque for 500 years. How very convenient of you to leave that part out isn't it? They also used the Imperial Byzantine Church of Haghia Irene as a horse stable. If you are so tolerant turn over the Haghia Sophia to its rightful owners: The Ecumenical Patriarch.
It seems that you don't read books. Just seach google and you will find that Muslims and Jews were the majority. 95% ???
As soon as reconquesta started Christians butchered Muslims and Jews, rest are forced to convert to Chrietianity or expelled. Even the ones who became Christian to save their lives are massacred during 16th-17th centuries because Christians accused them to practice Islam and Judaism secretly.
Hagia Sohia is a museum now, and all Chrtistian symbols are preserved during Ottoman time and are now exhibited. But Cordoba mosque is still used as church, after conversion Christians destorted most of the architectual shape and turned it into an ordinary church. But you still can observe how the building was brilliant during it was a mosque.

Originally posted by nakhararHow come you always evade questions and resort to cheap shots when you can't come up with an intelligent answer. Whether you like it or not Armenians are part of the European cultural landscape if even on the periphery. Where did I say that the "Dark Ages" were brilliant. They were hardly brilliant, but wasn't like you put it in your infantile comment: When Christians were living at Dark Ages, living a primitive life without any science, art, philosopy, without city life, when Christians were barbaric bloody tribes who even do not know how to clean, at the same ages Islam was only civilised culture in the world. This is such a stupid sentence it requires no further comment.
About this Armenians are European thing, I remember this from another thread in this forum which some guys were trying their best to show themselves as white, european, and such
well, you really have some problems, especially at those days when stereotypes are risen towards middle-eastern people. You will have more inferiority complex against your middle eastern identites and you will try your best not to relate yourselves with them. But your thich black eyebrows show your origins
why are you feel shame from your origins? it is fine to be eastern, get relax

Originally posted by nakhararI never contested that. But it is the present which counts. The only Turk I respect is Ataturk, but he was too good for you. You turned your backs on him and voted for that Islamist guy. (Maybe not you two, but you get the point)

Originally posted by nakhararOf course your Turkish books might say otherwise. The original inhabitants of Spain were the Spaniards. Arabs and Jews were no more than 5% of the population. They were the ruling elite only. The masses were ordinary Christian Spaniards. Look it up.
