“The Turkish people are very hospitable people,” she said with surprising warmth, seeing as they had murdered her husband and dozens of other members of her extended family, just a few of the 1.5 million Christian Armenians killed by the Turks during the first genocide of the 20th century. Grandmom knew the Turkish people well, not just from having grown up in southern Turkey, but from having returned several times to the “old country” later in life, during more quiescent times.
However, continuing her story, she intimated to me that the Muslim Turks lived under the spell of strange forces.
“They were very hospitable and would invite you in,” she said. “But, if a distant signal was given – it sounded something like a trumpet – then they would instantly change, and would attempt to harm you. Yet if the signal sounded again, they would immediately switch back to normal.”
“Even,” she added by way of illustration, “if they had injured you after the first signal, as soon as the second signal sounded, they would bind up the very wounds they had inflicted on you.”
As I said – a very, very strange tale, with overtones of “The Manchurian Candidate” and its post-hypnotic suggestions (remember the Queen of Diamonds?) triggering murderous, pre-programmed behavior.

Good posts. Thank you.
Where were the so-called moderate Muslims during the Armenian genocide and the other atrocities. That they exist as the media keeps telling us has as much credibility as the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy.
One gets the impression from this and many other articles that part of the islamic brainwashing is the planting of a kernel of instruction that makes them blind to or even accepting of the murderous deeds of fellow muslims.
It always puzzled me that Turkey provided a top-notch college education to its people. The students I taught at the college level were fully on a par with the students I taught in the US. My fellow faculty members had all received their PhDs in either European or American universities.They too were on a par with American faculty that I worked with.
The reason it was a puzzle is that science and engineering are in direct conflict with Islam. To a Christian, we live in a rational universe created by a rational God, who established the laws by which the universe operates. The universe is full of "secondary" causes. As an example, if you bring a lighted match up to a piece of paper, the flame causes the paper to burn. To a Muslim, however, the paper burns because Allah caused it to burn. In a Muslim universe, there are no "secondary causes." Everything happens through the direct intervention of Allah.
Christians believe that God sustains the universe in its integrity. Muslims believe that Allah recreates the universe at every instant. Something could be a tree at one instant and a rock at the next. To hold that the universe has its own integrity is to limit the power of Allah.
Ultimately, I think, teaching science and engineering to Muslim students will subvert Islam.

When my grandparents were in Turkey, the ‘education’ was minimal and the general population were uneducated.
