Who said anything about NATO? The context of that comment was "Who gives a **** about Turkey?" You do understand it's a Muslim country, don't you? What's that punk Putin got to to do with any of this? You guys seem to be afraid of him. A great man once said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Turkey is a member of NATO. It is just a fact. A flounder is a flatfish that lays in the sand at the bottom of the sea. Fact. Turkey is not a Muslim country. The majority of its citizens are Muslim, but it is a secular nation. The majority of the citizens of the United States are Christians, but the United States also is a secular nation. Of course, to know that about Turkey, you'd have to have read some history, and, as we all know, history is a liberal arts field of study, and therefore of no interest to Greg Fretwell. Don't know about that. I've learned more about the history of the Middle East reading his posts than I ever learned in college. Then, I'm afraid, you still know very little about the history of the Middle East. Greg simply dismisses much of the Jewish history in that area going back thousands and hundreds of years in order to present and promote the Arab point of view and he conveniently pays no attention to the roles of the Arabs in World War I and World War II, the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the division of Muslim lands. The Jews have been in the Holy Land for thousands of years, almost non-interrupted. Even after Herod's death, when Israel was divided up by the Romans, there were still Jews there, and there were Jews there under the Ottoman Empire. I admit my prior knowledge of Middle East history is very limited. These discussions have provided the impetus to go read about it though. Still far from understanding it all but I know enough to realize that there's "history" and there's "beliefs". |
