When in Europe in college I proposed having the Saint Sofia museum be converted to a mosque for Muslims on Friday and have it be a church for Sunday’s (we were to come up with inter faith or inter community peace programs or offerings and then our peers would critique it). A Turk in the class told me while he appreciated the sentiment, allowing it to be converted to a religious institution would serve as a Trojan horse (his words) for Islamists.

I found that very educating.
