The Soviet Communists took a lesson in church destruction from the Turks. A little over-reaching, isn't it? Did the Nazis learn hating the churche from the Turks as well? You make it sound as if the Turks were the root of all evil.

Turks the root of all evil...Not completeley but almost, geopolitically/culturally, morally that is.

First, when Hitler was deciding about whether to proceed with concentration camps he referenced the Turks by commenting on the fact that the world took little notice when the Muslim Turks established concentration camps as they went about genociding the Christians - Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians, etc. peoples who had lived in this region for thousands of years before the marauding Turks arrived on the scene.

Second, the Ottoman Turkish Emnpire has left a sordid mess of things from the Middle East to Africa to the Balkans. Forced migrations, colonial oppression, forced conversions, frequent mass killings, you name it they did it. We are living or rather suffering the results of hundreds of years of Turkish Muslim stagnation and oppression in that part of the world.
