Theos-Talk Archives (May 2004 Message tt00090)

Hallo Dallas and all,

My views are:

Thanks Dallas.

The article said:
"Anti-Christian nations arrogate to themselves, on the ground of their
superior civilization and morality, the right to impose reform upon
Turkey - we neither admit their pretensions, covet their civilization,
believe in their good faith, nor respect their morality."

I can't help wondering what role the medias and The United Nations has today
compared to the 1880'ies.
I think it is around there we can find some of the causes to the problems
with Islam versus Christendom as well.


The various mass-medias create their own truths and so does the polticians.
People let themselves get influences much more than they in fact are willing
to admit.

And now they "still" seek to make Turkey a member of the EU.

A Turkish Effendi on Christendom and Islam





[Originally printed in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine for January
1880, and reprinted in The Theosophist for March 1880.]







In the suburb of one of the most romantically situated towns in Asia
Minor there lives the most remarkable oriental whom it has ever been
my fortune to meet. Traveling through that interesting country a few
months ago, with the view of assisting the British Government to
introduce some much-needed reforms, I arrived at ________________. I
purposely abstain from mentioning the name of the place, as my Eastern
friend, to whom I am indebted for the following paper, desires his
incognito to be observed, for reasons which the reader will easily
understand on its perusal.
