Curse you and your facts! Curse them, I say!!

I didnt even count various "genocides" and "massacres" outside of the Levant and in the early 20th century, which most of you may already know. I tried to stick close to his original claim about 19th century and "this region".

There is a reason the Ottoman Empire was called "Sick man at the Bosporus" in the early 19th century already. There are reasons this was the result of a rather slow and agonizing decline in earlier decades/centuries. There are reasons for the decline of this particularly multiethnic empire, namely inter-ethnic and inter-religious issues.

One wonders why Leo the Turk of all people does not seem to know this, yet its the same Leo who reads Mao and Che Guevara, and who follows the "theory" of Swami sonandso and his ideas of "human ages" and "energy". Maybe, just maybe a book about history of the Ottoman Empire would have been useful? 

There you go again - encouraging Leo to actually learn things. A fool’s errand if ever there was one. 😉

A million dead Armenians (at least) would like a word about the ‘quiet and peaceful life.’ Idiot.

Ask the Assyrians and Bulgarian Thracians while you are at it.
