ATTATURK! ATTATURK! ATTATURK!

Reader comment on item: A New Axis: The Emerging Turkish-Israeli Entente
in response to reader comment: To George and Louis Markos

HA!HA! Here, in this article, I see the vindication of everything I have been saying since I started posting to these forums. The Turkish Sultan saved my ancestors from the persecutions of the Romans in Spain and they rose to high positions as janissaries in his service. We didn't have to convert to Islam and we didn't pay any jizzya taxes and even today we are still great friends.

We share a common opinion of the Arabs: They are better ruled than ruling.

I pity anyone who even attempts to come between us!
