Anyone see any irony of using Cyprus as a base to flee fighting islamic nuts when half the island of Cyprus was invaded and ethnically cleansed by islam?

Cyprus was ethnically cleansed by secular Turkish nationalists. It's only recently that Islamic radicalism has become a phenomenon on Cyprus.

No. It's not ironic. The Turks were secular when they slapped the Cypriot Greeks down for trying an Anschluss with Greece after a coup.
