Islam's Other Victims: Wars Against Christians-under relentless attack for centuries.

Byzantium was the world's greatest empire. The Hagia Sophia is my next travel stop.

"By far the most significant building is the great church of HAGIA SOPHIA (Church of the Holy Wisdom) in Constantinople (532-37), which retained a longitudinal axis but was dominated by its enormous central dome. Seventh-century Syriac texts suggest that this design was meant to show the church as an image of the world with the dome of heaven suspended above, from which the Holy Spirit descended during the liturgical ceremony."

Come on over!

[Destro]

You can't invade what is your land. Liberation and invasion are two different things. Would you noy do anything to free Christians living in their ancestoral lands from once and future rampaging Muslims?

Restorer, you have it backwards. After all did the Jews "invade" Palestine?

[Destro]

Gallipolli was a German victory. General Kemal was under TOTAL German command. The victory belongs to the German commander of the Ottoman Fifth Army, Major General Otto Liman von Sanders.

[Destro]

Great minds think alike-see my 43-44.

Example of Turkish Muslim mob beating to death a Christian in Cyprus on August 11 1996:

Tassos Isaac is beaten down by the Turkish Muslim mob on August 11 1996.

The Religion of Peace strikes again.

The pereps are probably all graduates of the "Patty Murray Memorial Religion of Peace School" that Bin Laden built.

[Frohickey]

put me on this ping list... (as if I don't get enough already, but I'm a glutton for this history stuff)

[Destro]

Probably right. Turkey does get a lot of congressional funding.

Christians in the Muslim Middle East -- under relentless attack for centuries.

If people want on or off this list, please let me know.

>>Gee, let's ask the Kurds.

The ones whom I'd entrust my life like Turgut Ozal the past president of Turkey? Or the ones who would bomb grade schools and bus stops?

The old days are history. Yet empires rise and fall, which is a fact that won't ever change. Careful who you trust.. There are agitators among you who seem to be your dogs but will go for your throat and toss you like a used piece of meat once they feel the time is right for them..

>>The victory belongs to the German commander of the Ottoman Fifth Army


Correction: Victory belongs to those who actually put their lives on the line along with Mustafa Kemal, pictured above in a trench.


The man who opened that potent can on whoop-ass on your treatcherous Venizelos whimps.

What led to the guys death was not that he was Christian. Destro (Pericles, SPAR, or whatever your name is), you are a backstabbing, whimpy agitator.

And on and on it goes:

Wednesday's trouble began after the funeral of Tassos Isaac, 24, who was beaten to death Sunday when Greek Cypriots stormed into the U.N.-patrolled zone between the Greek Cypriot south and Turkish Cypriot north.

About 300 Greek Cypriot demonstrators, most of them young men, went from Isaac's funeral to the "Green Line," where they broke through a row of Greek Cypriot police and U.N. peacekeepers.

After placing a wreath and a Greek Cypriot flag on the spot where Isaac was killed, they began throwing stones at a Turkish military post across the zone.

A cousin of Isaac, Solomos Spirou Solomou, 26, was shot and killed when he tried to climb a flagpole to haul down the Turkish flag.

Troy, of course, was not a Greek city.

Do we know what language was spoken in Troy? Homer does not call the Trojans Greeks, but the Trojans in Homer speak Greek, probably for dramatic reasons, but can we be sure they did not speak Greek?

[Sparta]

Cyprius is just like Spain during their Civil War. Horrible atrocities on both sides.

[a_Turk]

Horrible atrocities on both sides.

This article contains a large number of European and US newspaper accounts of the decade of violence which led to the Turkish invasion.

Let's ask ET...

[Sparta]

Funny how we FReepers actually have a plan to solve the Cyprus situation and the world's politicans are typically clueless.
