As the Hagia Sophia was built as a Christian church and turned over to Islam after conquest, it seems odd that anyone should complain about a change of use....

My very thought! If they had built Jabba's palace in the shape of the Blue Mosque it would be different, but as it is, what an odd thing to argue.

And it's not actually a mosque any more anyway - it's just a tourist attraction now.

Sadly, I think Nigel Farage looks less like a Meerkat than Benedict Cumbernatch looks like an otter.
