Oh for cryin' out loud.  ::) 

All Lego did was copy Jabba's palace from the movie.  If they're going to be mad at anyone (which they really shouldn't IMO), then it should be at Lucas, as he would've had to have been the one to base the structure off of an Istanbul mosque (if that's what he even did).

From the article:

QuoteA converted Christian basilica and famed for its massive domed roof, the Hagia Sofia is one of the most famous mosques in the world and served Istanbul's Muslim community for over 500 years before becoming a museum in 1943. It is also regarded as one of the finest, and largest examples, of Byzantine architecture.

No irony there...
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

We remember Hagia Sofia from Civ.  It got majorly pillaged by some Frankish riffraff and Venetians
in the Fourth Crusade (aka The Crusade That Got Kinda Sidetracked).  Irony upon irony and
now Turkey is a secular state.

Corrected that for you :P
