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.

Your err, posts, eleni121, remind this casual history student of Edmund Ruffin's suicide note, 17 June 1865:

"I here declare my unmitigated hatred to Yankee rule -- to all political, social and business connection with the Yankees and to the Yankee race. Would that I could impress these sentiments, in their full force, on every living Southerner and bequeath them to every one yet to be born! May such sentiments be held universally in the outraged and down-trodden South, though in silence and stillness, until the now far-distant day shall arrive for just retribution for Yankee usurpation, oppression and atrocious outrages, and for deliverance and vengeance for the now ruined, subjugated and enslaved Southern States!
...And now with my last writing and utterance, and with what will be near my last breath, I here repeat and would willingly proclaim my unmitigated hatred to yankee rule--to all political, social and business connections with Yankees, and the perfidious, malignant, and vile Yankee race."
