Turkey: Muslim breaks into Armenian Orthodox cathedral, & recites Islamic call to prayer. When the Muslims conquered Jerusalem in 637, the Patriarch of Jerusalem invited the caliph Umar to pray in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Umar explained that if he did, the church became a mosque, as Muslim prayers had been uttered there. Muslims now consider the Cathedral of the Holy Cross to be a mosque, since the Adhan was uttered within it.
