I'm sure they'll go after the Vatican next. Because it's not Catholic enough.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 1 points 8 minutes ago

Sean Hannity just renounced his Catholicism because of that little Trump/Pope spat.

Their “Christianity” is Messianic Trumpism.

Muslims got Hagia Sophia and Christians got Alhambra and the Mosque of Cordoba. Bet he doesn’t want to return those.

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 20 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

If I had to guess, I'm assuming this is coming from the seemingly common belief amongst the crowd of a certain political persuasion that Christians are the most persecuted people in the world ever, and that Muslims are trying to kill us all or convert us all to their religion?

and that Muslims are trying to kill us all or convert us all to their religion.

It's always projection with these motherfuckers.

They have weaponized their persecution complex.

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 31 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Does he not realize that the Hagia Sophia is not under the control of the US in any way, shape, or form?

Well yeah. But since the war in iran is now totally and completely won. They need a new barbaric country to liberate.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 5 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 54 minutes ago

Netanyahu already said so.

Not next, Cuba goes first.

I can’t tell if this is real or satire

[–] protist@retrofed.com 39 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I thought surely it must be satire, but this was legitimately posted on his Facebook account. I have no words. I guess we're trying to bring back Byzantium now

Have you thought of the Roman Empire already today?

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 34 points 4 hours ago

US's writers have gotten really lazy since season 240 or so. It's like they turned the whole show over to a Poe's Law bot. I keep hoping for something good...there's interesting fan fic, but they never seem to follow up.

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 hours ago

I did the dirty but couldn't find it. I need a deep cleanse now.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 21 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Okay, ignoring that reading this has made me even stupider - I always assume there was SOME kind of thought process that lead to such statements (yeah yeah I know, haha politicians and thought processes ololollol) and I'm very interested in this one. What exactly happened there? Where did the connection between the Hagia Sophia and the office of senator for South Carolina come from? What is he free-associating?

[–] plyth@feddit.org 17 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Where did the connection between the Hagia Sophia and the office of senator for South Carolina come from?

He is a senator. The Roman empire continues.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 8 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Even senators need some kind of prompt to produce their nonsense. Who told this guy the Hagia Sophia was in the circle of influence of the SC senator?

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

US politicians believe their constituents elect them to police the middle east. See everything in Iran, Iraq, their rabbid support for Israel, etc.

They truly believe that God granted them this power to spread his war on Muslims. That's why a SC sensor thinks he has control over Hagia Sophia.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Okay, yes, that makes sense (as in, I can see where this is coming from, not as in, it's sensible). But a senator? Potus, sure, obviously. Possibly a governor even. A senator? This seems like a fundamental misunderstanding of the office itself.

[–] MrKoyun@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

It is. But you see, that doesn't matter.
