Th fact remains that the Muslim conquest was a geopolitical disaster that we may be allowing to repeat today.

Yes, I agree that distinctions should be made between the peoples of Islamic faith: not every one is slicing throats and destroying their own culture.

On the topic of Armenian genocide of the massacre of Smyrna, horrific as they were it was not a geopolitical event of the scale that ISIS and the mass migration to Germany and Britain is. Our civilization or what remains of it is deliberately dissolving itself. That is unprecedented.

“On the topic of Armenian genocide of the massacre of Smyrna, horrific as they were it was not a geopolitical event of the scale that ISIS and the mass migration to Germany and Britain is.”

And yet millions of people were slaughtered. ISIS’ toll is weak beer compared to what happened 100 years ago. As for migration, hundreds of thousands of Greeks, Pontian Greeks and Armenians fled to Greece, America, Russia and ... SYRIA, where they were welcomed and taken care of.

Like I said, complex.
