The Hagia Sophia, built as a Byzantine cathedral in the 6th century. After the Turkish conquest of Constantinople in 1453, it became a mosque. Mustafa Kemal, the founder of the Turkish Republic, turned it into an interfaith museum in 1934 to highlight his country's status as a secular and pluralistic nation. Eighty-six years later, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan turned it back into a mosque. The building now stands as a stark symbol of the neo-dhimmitude that has hollowed out the pluralist promise Turkey showed soon after its founding.
