against human life and their crimes against wOment
necessary to understand their religion.
All religions formulated in primitive times have much
to say of suffering punishment fire. and torture When the
Christians believed literally in the eroCious teachings
Of the Old Testament the Christian nations also burned
men and women alive and slaughtered children wholesale
because they were ''inhdels."
The Turks are the monsters Of the world today because
THEY still apply and interpret literally peculiarly savage
religion based upon boodshed which makes killing the
chief duty of the faithful
After one orgy of the Turks in Macedonia the bodies
of ninety women and children found mutated and
thrown together in heap It easy to understand this
when you read the following text in the Koran:
- 81 will cast a dread into the hearts of the unbe-
eperS Therefore, strike off their heads, and strike
off ali the ends of their fingers And the HfideLS
shall also suffer the torment of hell fire.
The Turk of TODAY believes literally in this COM
msnd to kill and mutiate He thinks that he is helping
his soul pleasing God and obeying MOhammed when he
kills women and strikes of the ends Of the fingers OF
children
The Turk is born, lives and dies religious fanatic
ANYBODY who thinks he be kept from slaughter made
decent by argument persuasion that his promises
can be relied upon viii get information from the fol-
lowing extracts of the Koran in which every Mohammedan
believes implicitly:
But the recompenSe of those who fight against
God and His APOSTLE and study to act coTuptty in
the earth shall be that they shall be slain, Crucied
or hare their hands and their feet cut off on opposite
Sides or be ba1iShed from the land.

20 prophet wage 1pu against the unbeIieperS

"NeifHer do thou ever pray over any of them wHo

leped not in God and His Apostle, and die in their
wickedneSs'
20 true beAepers wage war dgaisst such Of the

Him."
AS the great desert of Sahara PHYSICAL upon
the face of the earth so is Turkey MORAL upon the
face of Europe
Civilization owes great debt to the courage of the
Hungaan who beat back the Turks and stopped their
westward march at the battle of Pesth And had it not
been for political rivalry civilization would long have
combined to drive the Turk out of Europe.
One of the first duties of the League of Nations should
be to make impossible continuance of Turkeys centuries
long career of slaughter and robbery What political Europe
feared do the peace congress should make imperative
Until such action is taken the Turk will continue to
act in way that pleasing to HIS god and treat
Christians according the Koran's estimate of their
deserts The Turk nterprets literally the following from
his Koran:
"Verily those who diSbeieve our signs, ne will
surely cast TO be broiLed in hell fire; so often as their
skins shall be well burned, giH gipe them other
skins exchange, that they may taste the sharper tor
Hent; for God is mighty and UfSe"
The Turk really believes that God, mighty and
wise burns up his victims and then gives them skins
hat they may shrive afesh No wonder they themselves
N-1taI man cannot be superior TO his idea Of God
