The great conqueror Tamerlane was reported to have said that militarism should be confined to only one race: The Turks. Before him, the Frankish author of the gesta franconum has claimed that the Turks were the greatest warriors ever. Again, many Europeans (among them Chevalier Folard and Napoleon Bonaparte) have described the Turks and Circassians as the bravest and greatest warriors in the whole world.

From that we could conclude that the Turks were known to be as the greatest warriors in the Middle Ages; even to some centuries in the New Ages...why is this so? Was fighting ability and chivalry that superior among the Turkic races?? Was it a monopoly of chivalry??

I read this when i was about 10 but I can hardly remember anything about it and it's been bugging me all these years! At the beginning I think it had a princess playing with a cup and ball toy. It was quite a magical book, and it might have had the same author as The Borrowers but not necessarily. Also I seem to connect The Frog Prince with it for some reason. Sorry this is so vague! Any help would be much appreciated!

Mahatmi Gandhi one remarked "I like you're Christ but I do not like you're Christians." .

He didn't like Christians (I am assuming due to their actions in history) but he worshiped and admired Muslims - the same people who were responsible for the murder of nearly 100 million hindus at one point in History and the rape of an even greater number of hindu women. He had no problem praising the Muslims, despite the fact that their actions in history had been just as despicable and sikening as those of Christians.

I agree that the Christians aren't perfect, but Hindus suffered much much much more at the hands of islam than we did at the hands of Christianity. The biggest genocide in history was that which was undertaken by Muslims against Hindus; hindu Temples were all bulldosed and replaced with Mosques and many hindus were forced to become Muslim. They became 2nd class.

Do you agree with me that by making such a comment, Gandhi was historically blind as well as a hypocrite???

and if you can, please state some examples of work (can be from various disciplines) you find creative.

sorry people another question on this french rev document.
it says in it that the cahier of the 3rd estate wants to reduce the incredible number of petty assassins who with the aid of a wig and a licence and often only the razor undertake to treat the most complicated of illnesses and to whom the blood of the people seems to of been abandoned.
am i right in thinking the petty assassins were quack doctors??
