But I see in Wikipedia that it was re-established as a mosque       in 2020.              Then again, there are not a whole lot of countries where you can find       churches-turned-mosques, so Turkey was still the obvious guess.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
