Just be grateful that they were stopped at Vienna long ago or you would be
living a very different lifestyle and REALLY DIFFERENT if you are woman..


"In 1529 and again in 1566, the Ottoman Turks tried to capture Vienna, the
capital of the Holy Roman Empire in the heart of Europe. Both assaults on
the city failed. More than 100 years later, the Ottomans tried once more
with 250,000 troops.

The Ottomans decided to lay siege to Vienna and settled in a luxurious tent
camp outside the city walls. In September 1683, the Polish military leader
John Sobieski arrived with 60,000 Christian fighters. Just before going into
battle, he spoke to his men:

It is not a city alone that we have to save, but the whole of Christianity,
of which the city of Vienna is the bulwark. This war is a holy one.

Sobieski and his cavalry charged the Ottoman camp, and the Muslim soldiers
fled. The Ottomans' dream of taking Europe collapsed in a rout before the
gates of Vienna."

That's probably where this is all headed. History always repeats itself.
