Europe
Remembering Lepanto
2005-10-10
Hat tip Gates of Vienna.

October 7th is the 434th anniversary of the Battle of Lepanto. In 1571 a naval alliance of Christian nations defeated the Turks in the Gulf of Lepanto , just off the southern coast of Greece. KiloEcho4 provides a run-down of that in the context of the Muslim attempt to conquer Europe, back then and today.

#3  Excellent read. Truly excellent... But, but, they're our bestest buddies. I'm so confused... Just because they've re-Islamized their Govt and scorned Atatürk's legacy is nothing to worry about, is it? Just because they stabbed us in the back is no reason to be miffed, is it? Just cuz the hammer had no anvil and the Sunnis got a pass enabling them to launch the first wave, the Ba'athist wave, of terror and provide haven and logistics to each wave that has followed is no reason to be petty, is it? Pfeh. Muzzy Turks are wonderful, reliable folks. We have it on solid anonymous sources that they wanna get back on board and use us again. That's a compliment, right? Hell, I always wanted to be a good fuck. And, I never learn shit when I get burned, so I'm for it - where's that hot stove? I'm diving in. Double-Pfeh. I'm just glad I have no strong opinions based upon simple observable facts - that would inhibit my progressive tendencies.

Remember Poitiers, Lepanto, Thermopylae, Fallujah, Qaim, Tal Afar, Ramadi, 9/11, London, (fuck Spain), and the endless list of bloody edges wherever implacable barbaric shit rubs up against civilization. Excellent post, Doc - Thx.

#2  Thanks, Steve. Victor David Hanson listed the battle of Le Panto in "Carnage and Culture" as illustrative of why the West will win the clash of cultures.
