Not a date from a hundred years either way, but an enormous date in history that should be recalled today is October 10th, 732. It was the day Charles Martel, “the Hammer” threw the Muslims out of France at the battle of Tours.

Obviously (In my mind at least) I was referring to an equivalent legal event or other document since that was the 'expertise' of the NYT opinion writer. However, in line with your response, the naval battle of Lepanto (August 1571) is actually closer in time than Tours and it destroyed the Ottoman Naval power and was, with Vienna II (1683), the end of aggressive Ottoman Islam.

Excellent post. We need to pay attention to these occurrences in history and remind people that there is NO end to aggressive Islam by whatever name. Islam just keeps on trying.
