For those who believe that Obama knows his History, no less loves the USA, a quick history lesson of the re-creation of the Ottoman Empire (we learned this in Baldwin High School, NY)!The Ottoman rulers were Sunni Muslims, but the great majority of people they had conquered were Christians. The Ottoman Empire and the fall of Constantinople in 1453 brought about the end of a Christian Empire. Ecumenical patriarchs were subject to Ottoman rulers who were Muslims. Eastern Europe, Serbia, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Greece were all brought under Muslim rule. Muslim rule destroyed the churches, raped & massacred the Christian population through warfare and conversion. Christians were generally the losers in the aftermath of such conversions. We had rapid decline of churches throughout Central Asia, Persia, and Mesopotamia. The rise of the Ottomans in Anantolia further diminished the Christian presence in West Asia. After 1500 YEARS the Christian Movement thus found itself in this terrible situation. Now the history of America awaits us........ ?
