The fall of Constantinople

Before it was Istanbul it was Constantinople

And it fall because when Mohamed, the Conquer was outside the ancient city with a powerful army; the people of the city were busy, they were busy in knowing the gender of the angels, is the angel she or he?!

And that’s why the high mighty walls of Constantinople didn’t stand against Mohamed II

I forgot to tell you that Mohamed II was only 21 years old when he brought an end to the Byzantine Empire

I don’t know why I always remember the dramatic fall of Constantinople and how it was turned in to Islambul then Istanbul when I read or hear or even watch those strange fatwas “Islamic religious legal statement or recommendation issued by a sheikh concerning certain topic”. Seriously I hear strange fatwas that if they indicate on anything, they would indicate how ignorant the people became with the fundamentals of their religion!!

I won’t give examples but on a monthly basis I found some strange Fatwa issued here in Egypt or in the Arab world about something silly and stupid

Of course the political regimes are happy with these sorts of Fatwas, which make the people busy, it is better to discuss them then to discuss important issues like the political and economic status

Also these Fatwas are better then the Fatwas which consider the revolution against unjust Muslim ruler is from the Jihad

The problem is they are exceeding more and more with the spread of the Religion satellite channels that were previously music channels, with the spread of the Internet forum and the absence of culture and well knowledge of religion.

I fear that we will reach to the time we ask if the angels are male or female!!??
