How the Christian Capital of the World Became Muslim

- How did Turkey go from being one of the most prominent countries in Christian history where the Nicene Creed was written to a nation with almost no Christians? In this episode of Neighborhoods & Nations, Steven Morales visits the Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque to help us understand the religious history of Turkey.
I am a new Christian from Turkey who left the cult of Islam. Pray for us and the conversion of the Turkish people.
Greetings in 28 July 2024! I am still Christian, albeit hardships. I am more mature in faith now, and I would like to take back how I called Islam a cult. It is no way a cult. In Islam, jesus is a prophet, born of a virgin, did miracles etc. It is unfair to be 100% against Islam.
Islam cult? It is clear that you were not looking sincerely for God. Cristians themselves declare that the trinity does not make sense and do not believe Jesus is God. Also 100% sure you do not know even the basics of Islam.
Christianity part of paganism.. It’s not Abrahamic faith 🫡
@@MuhammadAli-wy6ku If you do not believe that Jesus is God and the Trinity you're not Christian. These basics of faith were laid out in the Nicene Creed.
@@Arefin_Saiful__ I respect your opinion
@@soekmen1176I wouldn't mind if you leave Islam but for Christianity? It is clear that you left it for idol worshipping along with other sins that so called 'Christianity' allows.
Constantine didn't make Christianity the state religion, he legalized Christianity.
And he killed every other christian group and burned their books in the process....hurray....a religion legalized not by God...but by a politician and a bible authorized not by the Almighty...but by king James....also known as the queen of England for obvious reasons
Yeah and converted to Christianity himself.
You're right, but he did heavily promote and pave the way for his successors to do so.
It was Theodosius who legalized Christianity.
@@hcir5341 Theodosius made Christianity the state-religion. Constantine legalized it.

As a Christian living in Turkey, it pains me to see how strong of a foothold Islam has in the nation. In the west of Turkey many don't claim to be Muslim, but still its culture is strong, their hearts having stonewalls of Islam that need to be torn down. There have been a few Turks that I've been very lucky to see convert, and hopefully I'll get to see many more. The nation of Turkey needs prayer.
It is sad how you did not mention the once overwealming presence of Greek, Armenian and some Bulgarian Orthodox Christians in the country. My great grandfather's whole family was a victim of the genocides against Christians and he successfully fled to Greece. We never converted, not all of us, we were killed, relocated, worked to death, or abducted and turned into Muslim jenisaries. Overall I love your videos, but this one had historical generalization, inaccuracy and could use more information.
Ακριβώς!
I think a lot of Muslims were also mistreated in WWI. Millions expelled or killed in Eastern Europe. So it’s a bit complex.
@@shaybs WW1 was a secular conflict and it wasn't just Muslims who suffered from that catastrophic continental war unlike turkey who specifically targeted Christians
@@khalilfajloun3787 Well with Turkey in ww1 they weren't controlled by the caliph instead they were controlled by the young Turks Ultra nationalist Turks who seized power after a revolution couple years before ww1 and caliph as well as Sultan was just a puppet figure and about the Armenians well to be fair many Armenian gangs would massacre Turkish villages and many would cooperate with the enemy (Russian Empire) during the war so killing them is not justified but doesn't make them completely innocent also they were relocated well forcefully and in that relocation many died.
You might think being a Janisarrie is bad but its pretty good if you think about it, like your are a elite military force you are very educated, you live in better living standards and you are the center of the battle field instead of average Soldier.
I am disappointed that Turkey changed Hagia Sophia from a museum to a mosque.
As a museum, it was a neutral place for Christians and Muslims to share and embrace its greatness.
it is shame that he did not mention the big Saints and theologians that lived in Capadocia (Turkey today). Saint John Hrisostom, Saint Gregory, Basil the Great, Saint Nicholas. An important Orthodox Christian community lived in Turkey until 1920, when Greece and Turkey made an exchange of populations. Constantinopol was the second Rome the capital of Eastern Roman empire.
It was the capital of Greece
I think the name we have to point to is Jesus. Always.

You forgot a key detail that there was a population exchange with Greece hence why most of Turkeys Christians left to Greece and other European countries and most of the Muslims from those countries came to Turkey. That’s a key detail not sure how you skipped over that 🥴

Christianity ended Greek Hellenism religion, culture and traditions. Egyptians, Greeks, Romans achieved a lot more success before they became Christians. Abrahamic Religions like Christianity, Islam, Judaism turned its followers into backward people and stopped all kinds of progress in the society. Ancient Egypt and Ancient Rome was far superior than anything we have today. Christians burnt libraries and destroyed temples and imposed Christianity by force
It is sad jesus let this beloved and historical Christian city fall under Islamic regime. Jesus isn't fair😭😭😜

THANKS. OOF. THAT'S A VITAL PIECE OF HISTORICAL DOCUMENTATION.
pin
The council of Nicea is where they created your current religion 😁
@@okayyeah8699 Yours was formulated somewhere in Saudi Arabia or? 😄
@@okayyeah8699 Sorry man, thats a conspiracy theory with practically zero actual historical backing.
My religion (evangelical Christianity) is based off the over 5,000 manuscripts written before the counsel of Nicaea, spread across the known world in over 4 different languages with 99% accuracy in translation to one another.
And what do the majority of these manuscripts affirm about the Messiah Jesus? That he died and was raised from the dead. There are also a number of non-Christian sources that affirm that Christ was crucified and killed. So historically without the Bible as we accurately have it history confirms Jesus died and the Bible affirms history.
Other religions on the other hand contradict known history and say Jesus never died, but if that is so, if the Messiah is still alive in heaven, why would another prophet need to be sent to us? Interesting. It is also interesting to note how long after Jesus Muhammed, if you follow him by chance, the prophet lived and his writings were recorded -a lot later than Nicaea.
The city Beit lehem also lost it's christian. All middle eastern countries did, except for Israel. Lebanon was a christian country, now they are a minority, after decades of muslim immigration. Think about that.
Bethlehem still has a significant christian community
Christian Haters are such drama queens 👑

Your cinematography and motion graphics is awesome, the message here is a cause for concern and prayer.
As a Turk, this video is such a conscious work that I thank you for it.While the Christian people and the Muslim people lived together in the Ottoman period, they had a great harmony despite the differences. And there was no religious vilification. But when modern Turkey was established and all foreign ethnic populations were replaced by exchange, from that time this harmony came to an end. And some bad political developments push people towards exclusion. For 100 years, he learned about Christianity poorly, with unknowing exclusion about it. Nowadays, when young people give up being Muslims, their options are not another religion, but deism, atheism, etc. This is sad...
We can all agree that secularism, and especially its Turkish version, Kemalism, is a scourge of the people and countries.
barbaric turks came from central and did the genocide in anatolia
Young people become irreligious depend on the region, some region still very religious
Islam take everything from christianity
they had religious problems, christians they were paying jizya ,a taxation for not been muslim , also the practice of taking young Christian boys, ages 8-18, from their families, and raising them to serve in the imperial administration is known as devşirme, which means “lifting” or “collecting” in Ottoman Turkish, and was also known as the 'blood tax. No sir we didnt lived in peace! Genocides ,massacres and killing of innocents is the criminal record of the now days Turkey!
St. Polycarp was also a bishop that knew the Apostle John
One thing that is to note here that those Christians that are not Protestants are orthodox. And those proclaim the Gospel.
They understand sin and Jesus forgiveness.
So if they're not Protestants, that's no problem.
Jesus Lives!
The words of jesus are the kindest of all and I’m so grateful to know his love
I give my life to him and obey the commandments
Christian’s are here but talking down upon them is a way to vanish them
But the Bible doesn’t reflect that and I love you Jesus
I found this rather inspiring and very informative. I appreciate vessel like you doing God's work so christian like me in the west knows what really going on with our brothers and sisters out there in the East. May Peace be with you all in the name of the Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit my brothers and sisters in Christ. ❤
Just like biblical and historical evidence proves that jesus and his apostles were vegatarians biblical and historical evidence also proves that the trinity, atonement, original sin and hell are very late misinterpretations and are not supported by the early creed hence its not a part of Christianity I pray that Allah swt revives Christianity both inside and out preserves and protects it and makes its massage be witnessed by all people but at the right moment, place and time
The secret text of the Bible says ye shall know them by their fruits
So too that I say to my christian brothers and sisters be fruitful and multiply

I'm for the Church being more agressive in Turkey. Because it was in John's time as well as now, Satan's throne. Pergamon (modern Bergama, in Turkey) is located on the Caicus River in western Asia Minor in the region traditionally called Mysia.
‘I know where you dwell, where the throne of Satan is, and you hold fast to my name and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas, my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.’”
Satan's throne is in Vatican and the White House....in night Clubs and in churches where priests filled with the holy spirit molested and raped children while under the vow of chastity
That was for the altar of Zeus, not turkey as a whole.

The Koran itself says that Allah instructs the two most important people in Islam to read the Bible. First Isa (i.e. Jesus), who according to the Koran was the only one who was without sin. Surah 3:48 says: "And He (Allah) will teach him the Book and Wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel (Injil)." So Allah himself teaches Isa the holy kitabs (scriptures).
And Allah also asked Mohammed to read the Bible: "And if you (meaning Mohammed) are in doubt about what we sent down to you, ask those who read the Scriptures before you..." (Sura Yunus 10:94)
The request is already written down in Surah 4:136 and documents that the request applies to all Muslims: «O you who have believed, believe in Allah and his Messenger and in the Book that he sent down on his Messenger and in the Scriptures , which he previously sent down. And whoever does not believe in Allah and his angels and his books and his messengers and the Last Day has truly gone far astray."
Nor were these earlier writings corrupted, as is sometimes claimed. The Koran refutes this. Furthermore, such a conclusion would be an attack on Allah, because it would say that he was not powerful enough to preserve his own scriptures. An accusation of forgery against Allah, who says in the Koran on various occasions that one should read the Gospel...
Sura 3:2b and 3 confirm: «And He sent down the Torah and the Gospel [3:3] beforehand as a guide for men and He sent down (the Book of) discernment. Verily, those who deny the Signs of Allah will have a severe punishment. And Allah is Almighty and Lord of Retribution." These and other passages show that the Koran confirms the Bible and does not replace it. It is even referred to as a benchmark. The Torah, part of the Old Testament, is also confirmed in Sura 3:50.
Surah Yunus 10:64: «The good news is for them in this life as well as in the Hereafter. Immutable are the words of Allah - that is truly the tremendous gain." When Allah calls the Bible immutable, either Allah has lied or those who claim the Bible is fake are wrong in their opinion. Because this sura shows that it is blasphemy to say that the Bible is forged. Also: If God allowed the books of all the prophets up to Mohammed to be falsified, where do we then have the confidence that he has preserved the Koran?
Isa (Jesus) also points out that his life confirms what the prophets said about him in the previous kitabs. The prophets in the Bible spoke a lot about Isa Masih. There are more than 300 prophecies (ie predictions) recorded about Isa. Isa says in the Koran that it is obligatory to obey him. Showing respect to Allah means obeying Isa.
There are many good promises to those who obey Isa. His commandments can be found in the Injil, i.e. the Gospel. Fulfilling one's duty to Allah and obeying Isa is only possible by reading the Gospel.
Please look up "Qumran Isaiah scroll".
It's at least 2000 years old.
I'ts still the same as in the Bible today.
In chapter 53 of it God gave the prophet Isaiah a prophecy about the coming Messiah (hebrew word for old greek "Christos").
This was 700 years before Christ Jesus walked this earth.
I encourage you to read it.
It will be eye-opening.

Wrong choice. Jesus is the only way to eternal life John 14:6
The Byzantine Empire declined for hundreds of years, and was eventually (1453) ended by the Ottoman Turks, who were Muslim.
The Orthodox branch of Christianity still exists, and has hundreds of millions of followers. Just not in Istanbul, which has remained Muslim since 1453.
They persecuted the Christians in that place. So what happened now in Turkey ? In God 's wrath he send a devastating earthquake.
A few more earthquakes but on a scale of 12 on the scale of Richter and preferably during the summer period when many turks living in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium go visit their families in turkey. '
We are sick of the turkish disrespect for everything that is not turkish.. They still deny having committed a genocide on the Armenians and Kurds and mant other nations.
Turkey received 5 billion euro around 2016 for the syrian refugees in turkey but many of these people had to pay rent and buy food. A few syrians who lived in turkey for 3 years told me this.. Their families who lived in safe syrian zones had to send them money..
What happened to the 5 billion euro??? Why did turkey open 15 embassies in Africa? Since then more and more islamic terror attacks have been commited in sub-saharan Africa. Even childeren are beheaded! Who finances these islamic jihadists!?
Is this the religion of "peace and equality"!?
STOP ISLAMIZATION!!
It’s called natural disasters 🤦 it happened even when Christians dominated the area
In God's wrath he give Muslims victory over Christians in constantinople
Yeah
They did no such thing they didnt prosecute any Christians in-fact during ottoman times many Jews and Christians would trade from there as it was a thriving trading hub if you would stop listening to your pastor and learn history then maybe you would actually know what is right from whats wrong and the devestating earthquake well i guess god sent it when they were secular and different than those who actually according to you ''Prosecuted the christians'' many Muslims would interpert it as god testing them or maybe as gods punishment or as something else in the end we cant really know and this guy named I*rael agrees only because he hates Muslims.

You didn't show the real causes why christianty slowly dissapear from Turkey and the rest of Middle East (wars, force conversion, economic and political factors, etc.) there is much more to this than 20th century secularism in turkish history
Never expect Truth and facts from some ideology driven person unless that ideology is actually the truth.... it's just emotions and crying over split milk
My BOTHER. 🔥 "The truth is, in the Great Commission, we're not told to make the most amount of disciples possible. We're *actually* told to make disciples of *all* *nations* ; to reach all people groups."
I also really appreciate your note on the Church responding to the physical needs among the lost, alongside the spiritual. That's solid, Biblical directive.

Im glad that it is peaceful today, and i am glad to see more christians. We might disagree on things, but we have more likenesses than differences.

Anyone who didn't accept him as a prophet or messanger of Allah, was killed by him, he always went to war with people who never saw him as a prophet, that's why he killed Safiyas family and then slept with her a few hours afterwards because he had sex with his slaves.
To determine if belief systems are wholesome or pernicious, examine their practical effect. Judged by its actual results, Islam is the worst of all the main religions.
How so? Very simple. Out of the billions of Muslims in the world (living or dead), NOT A SINGLE MUSLIM has made any original contribution to any aspect of MODERN science or indeed any other empirical branch of knowledge SINCE THE MODERN ERA. If there were only Muslims in the world we could not have this online interaction. Islamic backwardness is almost incredible, given the fact that Persians and North Africans used to be far ahead of the West and only became backward once Islam became entrenched. On the other hand, the West which used to lag behind them became synonymous with modern civilization during the Christian era.
I do not claim to fully understand why Islam has such a catastrophic effect, but it may have to do with the so-called FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAMIC RETROGRESSION:
1/ SHARIA: (especially 3 aspects of the Sharia - Polygamy, Subjugation of women, & Second-Class citizenship of non-Muslims). Each of these 3 aspects is disastrous. Polygamy distracts men, discounts women and divides children. Female subjugation renders half the population impotent (if Marie Curie had been a Moslem, we would have no X-Ray in any hospital!). The practical effect of the enforced Second-Class citizenship of non-Muslims is that Islamic nations can never have true peace.
2/ MOHAMMED'S EXAMPLE: There is a great difference between Christian iniquity and Muslim iniquity. The Christian is disobeying the example and teaching of Christ, and so can be called to repentance. On the contrary, when Muslims engage in slavery, rape, murder, genocide, paedophilia, looting, oppression, feudalism, forced conversion, honor-killing, fascism, etc they are following the personal and repeated example of Muhammed and so cannot repent, because there is no higher standard to hold before them. That difference is at the heart of the problem with Islam.
3/ ISLAMIC FATALISM DISCOURAGES PROACTIVENESS
4/ ISALMIC LOW VIEW OF HUMANITY: Islam rejects the three key doctrines through which Christianity dignifies humankind, namely:
(a) The Fatherhood of God
(b) The Incarnation of Christ
(c) The In-dwelling of the Holy Spirit
5/ REJECTION OF THE CROSS - Therefore, no theological basis for God-man or man-man reconciliation (necessary for peace and harmony).
Don't sell your religion to please disbelievers ....be proud of the truth you have....as for the Jews and christians don't be happy for them...but have pity on them....
This is such a wonderful video! Thank you for making it. I'm not an orthodox but feel deeply about Hagia Sophia. Turkey has been colonized and they continue to oppress Armenia. Pray for this region brethren.
"Turkey: First new church in 90 years"
Ankara : Turkey's Islamic rooted government has authorised the building of the first church in the country since the end of the Ottoman Empire in 1923 , AFP learned.
The church is for the country's tiny Syriac community and will be built in the Istanbul suburb of Yesilkoy on the shores of the Sea of Marmara , which already has Greek Orthodox, Armenian and Catholic churches.
The country's ancient Syriac minority, which now numbers less than 20,000 , live mostly in the southeast, and tend to be either Orthodox or Catholic.

" Hagia Sophia museum restored into mosque."
----- This article from"vaigarai velicham " monthly magazine - 2020 ( Translated from Tamil language )
Hagia Sophia museum restored through proper channel (court procedure has given opportunities to defend) into a place of monotheistic worship Ayasofya mosque thereto representatives of very tiny populated Christians in Turkey are protesting.
Even before Turkish court's judgement,the Turkish Christians approach were of threatening tone.
In June 2020 Istanbul based Ecumenial Patriarch Bartholomew-I, the the spiritual leader of the world's orthodox Christians, warned that the building's conversion into a mosque "will turn millions of Christians across the world against Islam.
Garo paylan-- member of Armenian Christian party, named, People's Democratic party and Turkish MP--wrote "To convert Hagia Sophia into mosque will make life more difficult for Muslims in Europe".
Of the Turkish's population of 8 crore 40 lakhs in 957 districts,Christians are only 1,00,000 ie 0.1 percentage of Turkish population.
Of the Christian population 7000 are Protestant,2500 are Greek orthodox and 90,000 Armenian orthodox.
The priest and politicians around the world,especially, in Greece,Russia,US and france have expressed their hidden ill opinion in the words of "regrets, concerns,and reconsideration".
Their approach has exposed their "communal cat out of the bag".
They conceit, it was due to democracy, secularism, socialism etc,humans have achieved modern and new world past 150 years.
During this period, numerous non-christian worship places were demolished or converted by white Christians, these atrocities have been recorded by themselves.
The records of white Christian attack on worship places are well defined and strongly evidential.This self-styled radicals can advise others only after paying justice for these atrocities.
On August 2010, Turkish president Erdogan reopened sumela monastery in Trabzon province of Turkey to working church.
Following this, at least 1500 pilgrims-- many from foe countries Greece and Russia-- ( Look ! Erdogan embraced the people from outside of his country without mentioning " this is internal matter of turkey " ) traveled to the sumela monastery for services led by Patriarch Bartholomew-I.
But Turkish's wish of restoring the "Fethiye museum" in Athens city of Greece into mosque is ignored for over 10 years.This shows white Christians communal mind set.Those who oppose the Restoration of Ayasofya mosque must be remember with all gratitudes.
Why didn't the self-styled secular European Christian leaders oppose the restoration of sumela monastery and St.Paul church?
No one stated it as a great failure or disappoint for the long term vision and secular attitude of kemal Ataturk.
The Turkish president, Erdogan, has proved he is not against any religion by restoring sumela monastery.
when buzzing araised regarding this,the president interfered and explained," we lose nothing if 500 are 2000 people meet to perform religious duties together.He stood with Christian minorities.He didn't favour only the people who voted for him.He desired to be a neutralist.
Only after 10 years of this restoration, he restored the worship place of his own faith, and he follows by legal battle.
He has provided priority to minority Christians and delayed to fulfill the the needs of majority muslims.Responsible and caring mother always gives priority to the fragile child.
Erdogan responding to the opposition from the Christian world regretted, "We turks always honour worship places of non- Muslims, but monuments and artefacts of ottoman khilafat in East Europe and Balkan region are not preserved and slowly vanishing".
This intention of white Christians leads to the automatic destruction of Islamic treasures.
Western Christians diplomacies of cheating under the blanket of secularism, freedom of expression,democracy etc. Islamic symbols by laying it unpreserved are continuous warning signs for the Muslims
As Christians keeping our differences aside, we must unite and take back Constantinople,from the islamist occupation
No God let them have it for a reason, unless Russia and the Greeks open their hearts to Mary they'll never have it back

All the 7 churches are in modern day turkey. Pergumum had pagan temples that's why that language is used there
It was used as a mosque for almost 5 centuries before 1920s.

Thinking of joining Islam? Here are some revealing quotes from contemporary Muslims:
1. (On child marriage) How is it child rape if there is parental consent? (Farid Responds)
2. The only way to oppose the ongoing liberal sexual degradation & fetishization of children is through support for minor marriage. (Daniel Haqiqatjou)
3. If my daughter reached the age of menstruation at 9 years old, I would say “You are ready to get married.” (Ali Dawah, 1M subscribers on UA-cam)
4. Men can marry & have sex with a 5yo if she is physically mature. (Daniel Haqiqatjou)
5. Islam & human rights are in 100% agreement. We only differ on who is to do the (wife) beating. (Daniel Haqiqatjou)
6. You can lie to your spouse. The Prophet says you can do it. It doesn’t have to be a white lie. It can be a black lie. (Mohammed Hijab)
7. (On the Quran's alleged "perfect preservation") The standard narrative has holes in it. That's all I'm going to say, that the standard narrative does not answer some very pressing questions. … This issue of ahruf and qira’at has troubled the ummah [i.e. Muslim community] from the very beginning… You will not find one lecture of mine about this issue. It should never be brought up in public… This is not something you discuss amongst the masses… It’s not wise. These problems are now becoming mainstream. (Sheikh Dr Yasir Qadhi, PhD Yale)
8. (When Muslims invade, when we are strong in 40-50 years' time) We give you two good options (convert to Islam or pay the jizya tax) and live under sharia law. If you refuse, **neck slitting sounds** (Sheikh Assim Al-Hakeem) (Note: The Sheikh didn't mention this only applies to Jews & Christians. Others can only choose to convert or die.)
9. Yes, I do believe in miracles (like the flying donkey & moon splitting). (Mehdi Hasan, MSNBC broadcast journalist)
10. If you look just at the Quran, you would get the indication that you CAN have sexual intercourse with a 5 years old. (Mohammed Hijab)
11. (On slavery) I believe certain anti-Muslim women would wish they lived in the medieval period. A period where if a war was won by the opposing side it was conventional that people could be taken as booty. Some historical accounts actually say some women would dress up for the captor. (Mohammed Hijab)
12. In a Muslim country, apostrophe (he means “apostasy”) is dealt with with the death penalty. (Dr Muhamad Mukadam, in a video-taped answer to Richard Dawkins)
13. Without the death penalty for apostasy, Islam would have been finished the day the Prophet died. (Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi)
14. Hundreds of young boys & girls aged 13 to 18 have openly declared their apostasy to me. They are hafiz, leading prayers at the masjid & engaged in madrassa. This problem is dramatic and large. They cannot talk to their parents. (Dr Asadullah Ali Al-Andalusi)
15. Nobody saw the moon split because most people were asleep at night. (Farid Responds)
16. Any criminals or thugs out there who’re thinking of targeting Muslims should realise that Muslims are extremely influential in British prisons. (Rohan M. Salih)
17. There are various benefits for the human being in drinking camel's urine. … Camel's urine contains potassium, and albuminous protein. It also contains traces of uric acid. And sodium. As well as creatine (he means "creatinine"). (Note: This is the composition for the urine of ALL mammals. Nothing special about camel’s urine.) (Dr Zakir Naik, "Medical Doctor")
18. There's a reason why there's capital punishment. Because people like you, little weaklings, leave their religion and cause corruption in the land by spreading it, the capital punishment in Islamic law will be applied to you. We have no doubt. And we're proud of that (in soprano voice), yeah, and you know what, we'll be watching. (Ali Dawah, 1M subscribers on UA-cam)
Conclusion: Note that this is what Muslims say in public. Just imagine what they say in private. Muslims today are just as coercive, violent, destructive & nonsensical as Muslims 1400 years ago. Most Muslims already know their religion is man-made fraud but choose to keep defending it to soothe their raging cognitive dissonance. Stay away from Islam. Nothing good comes out of Islam.
To determine if belief systems are wholesome or pernicious, examine their practical effect. Judged by its actual results, Islam is the worst of all the main religions.

Praise be to God for the blessing of Islam and do not worry about the Islamic religion. Türkiye will remain Muslim until the end of time
Well, actually Türkiye has a secular constitution, and as such, the country is already infinitely better than theocracies or pseudo-theocracies like Iran or Israel. I hope it will stay that way.
"Until the end of time" is a tall order. We probably don't have to wait the trillions of years until the heat death of the Universe, as - just by extrapolating from the current trends - all religion will be in the minority in no more than a hundred years, in Türkiye and elsewhere. Even if I were wrong about that prediction, I don't care much. People can believe whatever they like as long as they keep it to themselves and not force it upon others.
This video seems like some cheap American Evangelical proselytizing. Commenters need not descend to their level.
I've always had a positive attitude towards Türkiye as, most of the time throughout history, it's been Finland's ally against Russia.
Doesn’t the Turkish Government Deny the Arminian Genocide to this day and if you speak of it you can get in all kinds of trouble in their country? Just wondering

To Christ belongs all the kingdoms of the world. He created them and owns them. Their allegiance is to the King. All knees will bow and tongues confess that Jesus Christ is LORD.
The Christian churches in Turkey operate underground. Probably a lot more of them there than indicated in this video, but they must remain cagey about worship. Wholeheartedly agree the greatest effort to spread the gospel should be where populations are the most imperiled.

Dear Radical....You made so much effort and spent so much money, but you lack some basic understanding and knowledge. The Turks come not from Turkey, but Turkestan. Slowly they invaded starting in the 10th century the area which is now Turkey. Before the beginning of the invasions, the area of Asia Minor was the eastern part of the Roman Empire. It was inhabited by Christians who for the most part spoke Greek and were Orthodox. The Turks who first invaded were not Ottomans and were not even Moslems. At that time many Turks were nomadic pagans who worshipped various spirits. Once they became Moslems, they took on a militant attitude and started what was more of a series of war. When they took over a place they gave the inhabitants 2 or 3 choices: Die or convert to Islam or die or convert or enter a stage somewhere between slavery and serfdom where one could remain Christian, but pay a lot of taxes. Churches could not be built or even repaired. Schools were closed for Christians. It was horrible and it was all done on purpose, namely to break down the Christians so that in the next generation or so, they would give up and accept Islam and become Turks. Also settlers were brought in from Turkestan and other lands where the Moslem heresy had already reigned. Thus gradually, but surely the Christians were pushed out. The final nail on the coffin was the genocide of the Armenians and the Assyrians in the First World War. At that time millions of Christians were killed with the help of the Kurds. After that a war was fought between Greece and Turkey. Greece lost the war and consequently the remaining Greek population in Turkey was either killed or exiled. The Greeks of Constantinople were somewhat spared as it was under British occupation at the time. These are the facts that you should know before producing such a program. At for the protestants, these people originated when western missionaries came in to help Christians who were basically starving. In exchange for food, some converted. They too were forced out, so the protestants who you are talking about might be turkified Greeks or Armenians who were able to remain in the secular state of Ataturk once it was established. The few churches that remained were either destroyed, turned into garages or mosques. Hagia Sofia was turned into a mosque at the time of the Fall of Constantinople and only became a museum under Ataturk. I am glad that you got at least one fact straight which was the main point that you were trying to make at the beginning of the film. I pray that the Turks do become Christians and link up with the faith of Nicaea which is the Orthodox Faith. That is the faith that you should be promoting as that was the faith preached by St. Paul when he first entered these lands. Protestantism in all its bizarre forms only started in the 16th century. It has very little to do with the original Faith of Christ, St. Paul or the Holy Martyrs.
A millennia process of islamization and turkification of Anatolia since 1070. The birthplace of Christianity if we consider Armenia, the 1st Christian State in the world. We remember all the Armenian, Greek, Assyrian Christians genocide in 1915-1924.
