Try out this headline from Nov. 9, 1912 (NYT):

ISLAM IS SUMMONED TO A HOLY WAR;
MIDDLE EUROPE PREPARES TO INTERFERE;
SALONIKA FALLS; MASSACRES BY TURKS

Proclamation of Sheik-Ul-Islam:
"In order that the victory and glory, promised by the Almighty [no mention of virgins], may be granted without delay to the Ottoman Army, it is necessary that the venerable Ulemas organize a Jihad. Such a holy war has, morevoer, become an obligation, if the condition of the Ottoman soliders, who are all heroes, is to be strengthened."

Scared yet?

Now the headlines of Nov. 14, 1912:

"WAR SUSPENDED AFTER TURKEY SUES FOR PEACE"

If the Bulgars could do it...

You got that right, buddy. That's interesting, I'd like to look that up. The 5-day war eh? Hehe. Yeah, we can give them an attitude adjustment, which is what is called for here. The Turks today are a modern people who roll their eyes at such notions as jihad.
