Nemesis

Despite these pro-Turkish proclivities in Greece, Turkey is ever-refining its war against Greece. Its latest weapon is political Islam. Turkey has been funneling a steady stream of illegal Moslem immigrants to Thrace and the Greek islands. These are refugees from the wars in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Somalia. Many of these refugees are probably soldiers of political Islam. In Athens alone they may be as large a population as 800,000. They are demanding and getting a huge mosque facing the Acropolis.

This symbolic gesture, a Christian Greece, that was nearly annihilated by Moslem Turkey, building a mosque at the center of its capital, may turn out to be another suicidal act by a desperate country losing its Hellenic soul. Many Greeks think so.

Constantine Romanos, professor of philosophy at the University of the Aegean, goes further. He said to me and other Greek scholars that, "the building of this grand mosque at the center of Athens is but the nozzle of a gun for the forthcoming Islamization of Greece."

Time has come for both Greece and the US to wake up. The US does not have much in common with Turkey, a country at war with Western civilization. It violently converted millions of Christians to Islam. And it murdered additional millions of Christians in cold blood. To this day, Turkey denies its crimes against humanity. Political Islam is the civilization of Turkey.

On the other hand, America and Greece share the same values. Greece in ancient times created the foundations of our civilization: democracy, political theory, science, and the arts. Modern Greece has been an ally of America for about a century, and she has fought on the same side in both world wars.

Americaought to order its International Monetary Fund out of Greece. It should also convince the EU to stop destabilizing Greece. The EU and US should fund a strong Greece to resist and defeat Turkey's subversive Islamic vision. Only a powerful democratic Greece can secure Thrace, shut down the Turkish consulate in Komotini, and bring peace, prosperity and security to southeastern Europe.
