«One of the keenest impressions which I brought away with me from Smyrna was a feeling of shame that I belonged to the human race.» – (George Horton)
«Only the Turks are ready and eager at this moment for a strong offensive movement against civilization. In the light of recent events this constitutes a very grave danger to the whole world. Other nations, worn and weary, ask only for peace. The Turks have no commerce, no manufactures, no merchant marine. They have nothing to lose. They have no culture. They have no training save in bearing arms, no science save the science of war, no art save the lethal art. They are mere marauders.» – (Henry Morgenthau 1856-1946)
«Man's greatest joy is to slay his enemy, plunder his riches, ride his steeds, see the tears of his loved ones and embrace his women.» –(Genghis Khan)
«Let me endeavor, very briefly to sketch in the rudelst outline what the Turkish race was and what it is. It is not a question of Mohammedanism simply, but of Mohammedanism compounded with the peculiar character of the race. They are not the mild Mohammedans of India nor the chivalrous Saladins of Syria, nor the cultured Moors of Spain. They were, upon the whole, from the black day when they first entered Europe, the one great anti-human specimen of humanity. Wherever they went a broad line of blood marked a track behind them, and, as far their dominion reached, civilization disappeared from view.» – (William Gladstone 1809-1898)
«There is no instance, in Europe, in Asia or in Africa, where the establishment of Turkish domination over another country has not resulted in a reduction of material prosperity and a decline in civilization. Wherever Turkey has emerged victorious it has brought catastrophe. It has never been able to develop in peacetime what it gained in war.» – (George Clemenceau 1841-1929)
