Charming old ancient tradition should be preserved, they add on such mystique and delights the senses, shouldn't cost much though. cultures evolved over centuries are what shape your sensibilities and generations to come, these facts cannot be igrnored, what can groups still in savages stage with dull not going anywhere even today can even contribute to word's society nothing except when they get bad ass training and those results are clear to see,

The blue mosque was built in 1609, The Christian Basilica Hagia Sophia was built by Greeks in 537, more than 1000 years before the blue mosque, not only 100 years before. Istanbul it’s a Greek name too, and it means into the City. Was Constantinople up to 1927. The city been invaded by the Ottomans in 1453 unfortunately.
