I'm not sure HN is the venue for you to begin your race war or make whatever point you're trying to go for here.

  The Hagia Sophia was the site of a significant massacre when it was forcibly converted from a church to a mosque.

    Unless the blood from that massacre changed the acoustics of the space, it's still not enormously relevant to the article.

      Eh, I will kind of buy that. It was a church before it was a mosque and churches tend to have quite a bit more music than mosques. The race war comment above seemed uncharitable.

  Islam is not a race. The comment you're responding to (which is flagged and dead) doesn't belong on HN, but unless you've invented some genetic basis to tell apart Anatolian Turks and Greeks (good luck with that) try to be more precise about what irks you. This kind of dismissal makes things worse.
