I just can't believe anyone posted that. Honestly, it reeks. American men, some of them my relatives, fought, suffered, and died in battle with Moslems

When one has an enemy in mind and is implacable demonstrating that hatred, believe it. The Protestant countries overall waited with bated breath during the Siege of Vienna in 1683, and in fact, the leader of the Hungarian Calvinists, Imre Thököly, was the one who started the invasion by inviting the Turkish Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa, to invade Vienna and garnered the support of the Hungarian army.

Turkish domination of Eastern Europe down through the Balkans was fairly set, and the Calvinists wanted them to destroy Catholic Europe in order come in behind like vultures and pick up whatever pieces were left over. And that mindset continues to this day.

Thanks, Mark. I confess that is very disheartening.
