There are three very important things to note in the LA Times front page article on the Pope's visit to Turkey.
1) The first thing is something I knew, but which the Christian Church seems blissfully unaware of. That is that Christianity is dying in Turkey which is often billed the most moderate of Muslim countries. Think about it, my fellow Christians, if Christianity is dying in Turkey, it will die everywhere that Muslims gain control. This is why Christians must join the fight to save Western Civilization.
2) The second thing to note is that Turkey does not recognize the Catholic Church. This goes to further make clear that even the most moderate of Muslim countries does not tolerate Christianity.
3) And finally, the third thing is something I think all the Infidels hear will be interested to know. That is, during the time of the fall of the Ottoman Empire the Greeks deported 1,000,000 Turks from the land of Greece:
... before and during World War I, Western powers collaborated with Christian and other minorities to bring down the Ottomans. In the carnage that followed, as many as 1.5 million Armenians were slaughtered, a similar number of ethnic Greeks expelled and 1 million Turks deported from Greece.
Well, what do you know? You learn something new everyday.
