The Saint Sofia Mosque is an Anglicised version of the name for the Hagia Sophia. It's actually been a museum since 1935, and has not been used as a place of worship since then.


2024-09-15 Rerun commentary: Since this comic was first published, the Hagia Sophia has been stripped of its role as a museum and reconverted into a mosque, in July 2020.

This was a highly controversial change, backtracking on a decision made by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder and first President of the modern Republic of Turkey, who decided the Hagia Sophia should be a secular museum to reflect a secular country and government.

But 12th and incumbent (as of this writing) President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan annulled the secular status, among other authoritarian and religiously motivated changes to Turkey's governance.
