5Pillars editors Roshan Muhammed Salih and Dilly Hussain debate whether the restoration of Hagia Sophia as a mosque is Islamically justified. #HagiaSophia #Ottomans #5Pillars

POSITIONS: Editor-in-chief Roshan is of the opinion that Hagia Sophia should not have been converted into a mosque by Sultan Mehmed II in 1453, as well as it being restored back to a mosque by President Erdogan's government.

Deputy editor Dilly is of the opinion that it was Islamically justified and politically correct to convert Hagia Sophia into a mosque in 1453 and for it to be restored back to a mosque by Turkey in 2020.

In this very special episode of the Blood Brothers Podcast, Dilly Hussain hosts his good friend, business partner and the Editor in Chief of 5Pillars, Roshan Muhammed Salih.

Since the inception of 5Pillars in 2013, this is only the third time both Dilly and Roshan have appeared on screen together. In this episode, both editors ask each other burning and unanswered questions about each other's personal lives. After addressing popular assumptions and rumours about themselves, both Dilly and Roshan respond to the main criticisms and misconceptions about 5Pillars - from allegations of being sensationalist to claims of intentionally witch-hunting and discrediting the UK Muslim charity sector. You can buy Roshan's book 'Confessions of a Muslim journalist' on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Confessions-...
