A Vatican correspondent thought he was sharing a heartwarming example of religions 'co-existing', but X quickly disabused him of that notion.
A practical example of how the two religions coexist: As I began my interview with the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch, Ignatius Aphrem II, about the life of Christians in Turkey, the Muslim call to prayer rose from the famous Hagia Sophia Mosque next door.

Actually, a religion interrupting the day of those who do not practice their religion requiring them to stop their activities and wait for them to finish, is not co-existing, they are forcing others to comply.
This isn’t coexistence. It’s subjugation. https://t.co/Jg3xWHlh7j

Also, let's talk about the history of the 'Hague Sophia Mosque'. Hint: It wasn't a mosque.

"See? We can coexist!"
Honestly beyond parody
The two religions "coexist" because one religion denominates and the other meekly accedes.

Nauseating, but I'm not an Orthodox Christian. If they can't feel enough outrage to advocate for themselves, it's difficult for anyone else to advocate for them. https://t.co/RbfOjd2CX6
The Muslims took a church from Christians.
“Coexist” sure seems like “dhimmitude”.

That “call to prayer” came from the Muslim-occupied Hagia Sophia. https://t.co/txqfak5J2F

Few things boil my blood so much as the phrase “Muslim call to prayer… from the famous Hagia Sophia masque”. The West has its nose rubbed in all of its perceived ills of centuries past while the Saracen sits in one of Christianity’s most sacred buildings and calls it their own……

The Hagia Sophia what? https://t.co/EwiGXBwJZQ pic.twitter.com/X7rAkeEF9n

It was a stolen Christian church. Period.
If you had to reset, it isn’t coexisting. I don’t know if the Orthodox use bells, and I sorely miss them in the States, but: bells. Bells, bells, bells. https://t.co/JszC3d8y9V

We need more bells!

Coexistence in Turkey is about knowing who is supposed to wait for whom. https://t.co/VVrwcx9lFM

Sadly, non-Muslims have been conditioned to believe that "co-existence" is an Islamic objective because non-Islamic, illegitimate authorities in the Muslim world have claimed it through the centuries. https://t.co/FrTK9qQO6m

Only one side actually has any intentions of actually 'coexisting'.
"Coexist"? Clueless! He's talking to the remnant of a country that was 100pt Christian. These people are historically illiterate, yet pretend to be the intellectual elite. That's where we are! https://t.co/pqasPYKbv4
