    "On a final note, I agree with Professor Bruce S. Thornton that the Hagia Sophia in Islamic-occupied Constantinople, sometimes known as Istanbul, which was built by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian and for nearly a millennium was the grandest church in Christendom, should be restored by the Turks to the Orthodox Church, as a sign that Turkey is sincere about entering the modern world."
    "All truth passes through three stages:
    First, it is ridiculed;
    Second, it is violently opposed; and
    Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

    Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

      I definitely agree with that as well.
