13 Remember that Turkey would NOT let the 3ID invade Iraq from the north..

Slight correction - it was the 4ID, not the 3ID. According to Wikipedia ...

Alerted on 19 January 2003, the 4th Infantry Division was scheduled to take part in the Iraq War in the spring of 2003 by spearheading an advance from Turkey into northern Iraq. The Turkish Parliament refused to grant permission for the operation and the division's equipment remained offshore on ships during the buildup for the war. Its original mission, holding 13 Iraqi divisions along the "Green Line" in northern Iraq, was executed by the joint Task Force Viking. Arriving through Kuwait after the invasion had started, the division was subjected to multiple "SCUD" alerts while at Camps Wolf and Udairi, necessitating the retreat to bunkers in full chemical protective gear. The division was unable to deploy in time to start the invasion but joined it as a follow-on force in April 2003 attacking toward Tikrit and Mosul, and later became a major part of occupation forces during the post-war period.

 The 1st genocide of the 20th century was the Armenian Genocide. The Islamic Ottoman government systematically exterminated its minority Armenian (who were predominately Christians) subjects from their historic homeland in the territory constituting the present-day Republic of Turkey. It took place during and after WWI (1915-1923) and was implemented in 2 phases: the wholesale killing of the able-bodied male population through massacre and forced labor, and the deportation of women, children, the elderly and infirm on death marches to the Syrian Desert. The total number of people killed as a result has been estimated at between 1 and 1.5 million. The Assyrians, the Greeks and other minority groups were similarly targeted for extermination by the Ottoman government, and their treatment is considered by many historians to be part of the same genocidal policy. To this day, Turkey denies the genocide ever happened.

Above - A still frame from the 1919 Hollywood produced documentary silent film, “Auction of Souls” (only 20 minutes of the film survive today) which portrayed recreated eye witnessed events from the Armenian Genocide, including the scene above of crucified Christian girls. In her memoir, Ravished Armenia, Aurora Mardiganian described being raped and thrown into a harem (which agrees with Islam’s rules of war). Unlike thousands of other Armenian girls who were discarded after being defiled, she managed to escape. In the city of Malatia, she saw 16 Christian girls crucified: “Each girl had been nailed alive upon her cross, spikes through her feet and hands, only their hair blown by the wind, covered their bodies.” She eventually escaped to the West, wrote her memoir and saw it produced into the Hollywood documentary which was shown in major U.S. and European cities.

 5/06/2009 – In his address to the Turkish Parliament, POTUS #44 BHO stated that many "Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim majority country. I know, because I am one of them."

 5/07/2009 - POTUS #44 BHO declared in a press conference in Turkey, "… One of the great strengths of the United States is ... we have a very large Christian population (~75%) -- we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish (~2%) nation or a Muslim (~1%) nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values. …"

 6/18/2013 – Middle East scholar Raymond Ibrahim reported that Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan‘s continued Islamification of modern Turkey included plans to convert Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia museum back into a mosque. Hagia Sophia — Greek for “Holy Wisdom” — was for some thousand years Christianity’s greatest cathedral. Built in 537 A.D. in Constantinople by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, it became the heart of the Christian empire and was also a stalwart symbol of defiance against an ever encroaching Islam from the east. After parrying centuries of jihadi thrusts, Constantinople was finally sacked by Ottoman Turks in 1453. Its crosses desecrated and icons defaced, Hagia Sophia — as well as thousands of other churches — was immediately converted into a mosque by Sultan Mehmed II with the construction of tall minarets surrounding it in triumph. Then, after the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, as part of several reforms, the secularist leader Ataturk transformed Hagia Sophia into a “neutral” museum in 1934 — a gesture of goodwill to a then-triumphant West from a then-crestfallen Turkey. The desire to turn Hagia Sophia into a mosque is not about Muslims wanting a place to pray — as of 2010, there were 3,000 active mosques in Istanbul alone. Rather, it’s about their reveling, and trying to revivify, the glory days of Islamic jihad and conquest.

Thanks for the correction....

Either Turkey gets kicked out of NATO..or we kiss NATO good bye..

[Veto!]

Anyone betting on Turkey as a bulwark against jihadist animals slaughtering Christians and anyone else either not Muslim or not "Muslim enough" is making a losing bet.

Yes, I would have bet that 20 years ago when I visited Turkey. It was a delightful trip and people we met in various towns were happy that Americans were in their midst. I know that many Turks are still pro-West, but with Erdogan, all bets are off.

It's important to remember that a great many Turks don't like him at all. We should, in some way, be supporting the efforts of those who oppose him.

We should encourage the independent, non islamic Turkish people to rid themselves of the current leaders. It can be done.

He and Joel Rosenburg wrote the book in 2008 and some arts seem to jump off today’s headlines.

It seems to me that would require getting such folks together with the Kurds at least to the extent that they could work toward some common goals. Whether or not that can be done, I don't know.

Muslims all praise Saladin but refuse to allow his people to have at least a small nation of their own or even an autonomous region. That's so typical of Muslim logic.

[Kackikat]

You must be a historic scholar? Do you teach?

[Obadiah]

Thanks for that.

[Rashputin]

I read a lot, beyond that I take the Fifth.

God knows, I wouldn't want lumped in with today's Academics just because of a few misspent years in my younger days.

Regards

[Kackikat]

Awesome, I believe reading is paramount to a good education.

“a few misspent years in my younger days”....what on earth could you mean?...Weren’t we all hellions before being transformed?

[DoughtyOne]

Thank you PgkDan. I appreciate the mention.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Interesting how we don’t hear ANYTHING about Hillary’s love for the Muslim Brotherhood nowadays.. It’s totally taboo. Even Fox News won’t say it. Was she and Barry ARMING ISIS IN BENGHAZI??? Is THAT what they’re so afraid of people finding out?

[Kackikat]

Yes I think so and Hillary’s assistant (Anthony Weiners wife) is Muslim and related to some of Muslim Brotherhood.

Amb Stephens was gossiped to have been delivering Arms to some in Libya??

Shoebat’s claim to have bombed Bank Leumi in Bethlehem is rejected by members of his family who still live in the area, and Bank Leumi says it has no record of such an attack ever taking place. His relatives, members of the Shoebat family, are mystified by the notion of “Walid Shoebat” being an assumed name. And the Walid Shoebat Foundation’s working process is less than transparent, with Shoebat’s claim that it is registered as a charity in the state of Pennsylvania being denied by the Pennsylvania State Attorney’s Office. Shoebat’s claim to have been a terrorist rests on his account of the purported bombing of Bank Leumi. But after checking its files, the bank said it had no record of an attack on its Bethlehem branch anywhere in the relevant 1977-79 period. Shoebat told The Jerusalem Post that this could be because the bank building was robustly protected with steel and that the attack may have caused little damage. Asked whether word of the bombing made the news at the time, he said, “I don’t know. I didn’t read the papers because I was in hiding for the next three days.” (In 2004, he had told Britain’s Sunday Telegraph: “I was terribly relieved when I heard on the news later that evening that no one had been hurt or killed by my bomb.”) Shoebat could not immediately recall the year, or even the time of year, of the purported bombing when talking to the Post by phone from the US. After wavering, he finally settled for the summer of 1977.
