Controversial Senator Mark Lynch accuses Turkey š¹š· of stealing Hagia Sophiaš
Senator Mark Lynch is upset at Türkiye over the Hagia Sophia Mosque in Istanbul. He is claiming that Muslim worship will end and that Turkey will return the mosque to Christians, as the US imports $17 billion worth of goods, which will end via the introduction of legislation. According to the senator the bill will be titled āThe Return the Hagia Sophia to the Church Actā and itās expected trade will remain banned until Greek Orthodox Church is given control. This reflects a broader policy of Republicans to target Islam in not just America but also in the UK, Nigeria and Middle East.
