[MichaelByrd1967]

Really nice pictures. I never thought that Istanbul was that nice. Looks like San Francisco, New York, and a small French or Italian City on the Mediterranean in one package. But since Istanbul is part of Europe I guess, right? So you are on the Mediterranean?

[turtlefriend]

lol unkle_john.... if you've a date in constantinople, you know
she'll be waiting in istanbul.Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.

[gumbygurl]

Your city looks absolutely gorgeous.

[manoni]

anyone from istanbul?

[mr_erebus]

The city is founded by the emperor Constantinos. the first emperor of byzantium.
he called Constantinupolis.
so the original name of the city is constantinupolis

They migth be Giants -istanbul not constantinople


istanbul was constantinople
now it's istanbul, not constantinople
been a long time gone, constantinople
now it's turkish delight on a moonlit night

every gal in constantinople
lives in istanbul, not constantinople
so if you've got a date in constantinople
she'll be waiting in istanbul

even old new york
was once new amsterdam
why they changed it i can't say
people just liked it better that way

so take me backto constantinople
no, you can't go back to constantinople
been a long time gone, constantinople
why did constantinople get the works?
that's nobody's business but the turks!

[mr_erebus]

well yes. but they doesnt change it because they liked it but because they occupied it.
I think this song is a little nationalistic.

[manoni]

yes it seems a little nationalistic but the song is not written by turks ,it is american song.also istanbul is very important city for muslims because
The Prophet muhammed predicted the conquest of Istanbul, according to an authentic narration, the Prophet, declared:
"Surely, Constantinople (Istanbul) will be conquered (by my community); how blessed the commander who will conquer it, and how blessed his army."
He thus foretold the conquest of Istanbul by Muslims, and indicated the high spiritual rank of Fatih Sultan Mehmed, the Conqueror, and the virtuousness of his army. What he foretold took place centuries later.
