Re: Hilaire Belloc
Although not particularly well publicized at the time, I do remember terrorist experts recognizing that dates are very important to Al Queda and that this was likely why 9/11 was selected by them. As it represents the zenith of the Ottoman Empire. I didn't remember his date being talked about, but ...

Re: Turkey
Exactly. You know, for the first time ever, a Jewish leader recently referred to Ezekiel 37 being fulfilled with the establishment of Israel as a nation - once again. Doesn't Isaiah 17 have to occur before Ezekiel 38? :?: So i was refreshing my memory about what Isaiah 17 was about, and I ran acros...

Re: Turkey
Regardless of what some will say, this is clearing building up to be a clash of civilizations that will turn into a global crisis even like the world has never seen. To get an idea of what it will be like, just imagine the "Crusades" with nukes! or Ezekiel 38 Exactly. You know, for the first time e...

Re: Turkey
I agree completely with your description of Turkish society, however, I'm pessimistic that Islamic countries are about to resist the current revival in Islam. I think Europe made the right decision in not expanding EU membership to Turkey. No matter how much Turkey was able to be deislamized after ...

Re: Turkey
Turkey tried to be a modern nation for an entire saeculum and Europe was having none of it. Too dark, too Islamic, too alien. Is it any wonder the younger generation is throwing up its hands? And saying "Fine! We tried it Ataturk's way and got spat on. Let's go back to what we really are and stop t...

Re: Turkey
I agree; Turkey is setting itself up to be the leader of the Islamic nations. Like in the past, the different sects of Islam will put (for a time at least) their differences behind them and focus on their main goal; the spread of Islam.' Turkey is in an interesting position. Due to their past close ...

Re: Tea Party--Boomers reliving the 60s?
I went to a Tea Party event in Fort Worth, TX on 9/12. It is the first political rally of any type I've ever been to and from what I gathered from talking to many others, it was the same for them. It was raining like mad that day, but still at least 15,000 to 20,000 people showed up to listen to spe...

Hilaire Belloc
I was reading through "The Great Heresies" by Hilaire Belloc and came across this statement he made in his writings: I say the suggestion that Islam may re-arise sounds fantastic - but this is only because men are always powerfully affected by the immediate past: - one might say that they are blinde...

Re: Republic of Korea (South Korea)
Dear Thomas, Welcome to the forum! I've written many reports on the relationships between South Korea, North Korea, Japan and China. The following has a historical summary: ** South Korean politicians are 'euphoric' over North Korea nuclear deal ** http://www.generationaldynamics.com/cgi-bin/D.PL?x...
