Critique About the System Name Change

[Lanakov]

When Mehmed the Conqueror entered the city that deserved him such an epithet, after the customary three days of uncontrolled pillage had ended, he went straight towards the Hagia Sophia. It is reported that he saw one of his soldiers there, chipping the marble with a pick or a shovel. When Mehmed asked him why he was doing that, the soldier replied: "For the faith". Mehmed ordered him executed.

Then he sent one of his men, either a soldier or a priest, atop the cathedral's main choir balcony, who cried out the Islamic creed: "La ilaha illallah" (There is no god but (Mohammad's) God). Mehmed relished in the majestic resonant qualities of the cathedral, but also in the profound symbolism of the deed: what a great and ancient empire he had brought down, and what a great and ancient legacy is on his shoulders to continue. He will not destroy it, but embrace it, bend it to his will (not much differently from the traditional Islamic approach to wives), and make it even greater.

@Lanakov Now, the purpose of me holding this history lesson. Would you mind doing something symbolic on Gaia or Toulouse? Only you possess the linguistic erudition necessary for such.

I like this, I like this very much. Well, not the whole "tear down the Orthodoxy, glory to Islam the one true religion" etc bit, but the notion. That Gaia be finally put to good use demands a remarkable, historical moment like the one you describe. His Majesty shall henceforth be known as Charles the Defiler of Nature. Eat that, the Conqueror.

I'll be thinking of this.
