@philokalia saidYou have talked publically here about how you are a relatively recent convert to Orthodox Christianity. Clearly, with that conversion - as you have described - came a sudden feeling of "personal insult" because of something that happened to the Orthodox Christian church in a foreign country 560 years ago.
I am an Orthodox Christian and I can say that this is a personal insult and a travesty.
I would also think that many good Muslims would likely be disappointed with this as well because this really does amount to hijacking another religion's property. Where's the dignity in that?
There's none.
I would be embarrassed if the Orthodox did this to anyone else.
As a result of that relatively recent conversion to Orthodox Christianity, did there also come a sudden feeling of "travesty" and "personal insult" because of chattel slavery of Black people in, for example, your own country only a couple of hundred years ago?
