I don’t doubt it.

I’m willing to open up the issue all the way back to 1918. Was there a good reason why, when the Ottoman Empire collapsed, the Christian nations didn’t all agree to hand Hagia Sophia back to the Patriarch of Constantinople on a platter?

I think that you are overlooking the fact that by 1918 Turkish Thrace was mostly Moslem, Attaturk actually defeated Greece in a war that followed a couple of years later.

I was referring to such incidents as the suppression of the Ibo (Christian Tribe in Biafra), & the people in Katanga, where we actually provided the UN forces with the air power to bomb Christian hospitals, etc..
