You see from the Turks' comments (5) how he feels about desecrating Churches by adding minarets to the original Christian church. On one of my visits to Constantinople I saw Aghia Sophia in terrible condition - whitewashed, with arabic words all over the interior and of course the despicable minarets outside.

In the Soviet times the Communists destroyed or converted synagogogues and churches turning them into stables, warehouses, or just burning them down; With Muslims and muslim Turks we have the same perverted mindset at work - in Cyprus, the Balkans, Africa, in fact every place they infest, they kill, murder, and destroy and always have!

Bad enough to conquer the land. Even worse to seize and squat on the lands in the houses of an evicted people. But worse yet is to destroy their cemetaries, their cultural heritage and their most precious spiritual gathering places.

Have you noticed how ofter the Muslims seize the wonderful Christian architecture and convert it by sticking a couple of those ugly central Asian minarets on them? It's almost like they can't build anything truly beautiful and spiritual for themselves. I think it's a part of the cultural mindset imposed by Islam. The result is a static backward culture who can only seize and can rarely create. The situation is more pronounced than the glacial progress of Asia who are capable but so hypnotized by the past that they remain in it. But one senses somthing about the Muslim cultures that makes one consider that they might be incapable of real creativity in architecture and other cultural pursuits.

I guess conquering and seizing by violence is how you acquire if you can't create.

Islam is cultural and mental poverty.
