Who You Calling Ottoman?
After reading my last post, alert reader Jake Avery sent me the following correction re Lawrence Henry's American Spectator piece:
Not only is this over-the-top hysterical, it's factually wrong. The Spanish
conquered the Moorish kingdom of Granada in 1492, which was in no way a part of
the Ottoman Empire (the Ottomans never expanded west of present-day Algeria, and
that wasn't until the early 1500s.) Of course, all those towel heads probably
look alike to Henry. Besides it's time to "go kill those people."
Thanks, Jake. Wish I'd caught that--as do my buddies over at the American Spectator, I'm sure.
