    In the last four years, more than 100 Christian pastors and other religious officials have been deported from Turkey, and banned from reentering.

    "When Jesus reached 30 years of age, Allah gave him the duty of being a prophet. He then began inviting people to believe in Allah." — Turkish textbook on Christianity.

    "[R]eligious minority students are faced with the option of taking the class or sitting alone somewhere else on the school premises during the classes, thus separating them from their peers and singling out their religious differences." — U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, Turkey Textbook Report.

    It is high time that the activists of the global "human rights community" condemned or at least publicly discussed this "culture of hate" in the Muslim communities -- and particularly the Christianophobia.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Whose bright idea was it to have Turkey in NATO in the first place?

I think it was a holdover from Korea. Frankly, I wouldn't be here if the Turks there hadn't relieved my father's unit. The US Army had pretty much written them off. They were nearly overrun, had policed up ammo from any who could no longer fire their weapons, and used their grenades up dropping them on the Chinese coming up the ridge. When the Turks relieved his unit, only two guys in it could still walk down the ridge, and they were wounded.

What is there to be "disturbed" about?

Turkey is an islamic country.

That's really all one needs to know.

Eventually, the "trends" in all of them seem to follow concurrent pathways...
