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.
I don't know much about the 1912 festivities in Turkey, but your post reminded me of those headlines I'd seen while researching U.S. politics from that time. President Taft dispatched a few battleships with marines just in case it got nasty for U.S. interests (mostly missionaries and ammunition salesmen, I gather).
It was an extension of the Balkans war, which started the year before, more or less (as little as these things start at any given moment). The Young Turks had upturned the country around then, as well, which helped produce the emotional climate of the jihad. Either way, Allah didn't produce for 'em. Guess its' time to read up on T.E. Lawrence...
