Very true! <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: --> Even today, if you take a trip to Greece, the Greeks still can't stand them, and refer to them as "sekhameni Turki" (bloodsucking Turks). (Including my relatives in Thessaloniki, my grandparents were from Turkey). And they still refuse to call Istanbul by it's new name, they'll only ever call it "Konstantinopoli". Even the Arabs can't stand them!

What can I say, the enemy is determined to undo any work we do for MarYah & His Son. I've read before that the pre-Islamic Turks tried out different faiths including Buddhaism & Judaism, in addition to "Nestorian" Christianity (so yes you were right about that). And to think that the apostle Paul spent so much time & effort in the region (Asia Minor) bringing the gentiles to faith in Y'shua, but now it's infested with the "antichrist" spirit (same goes for Mesopotamia & the rest of the Mid East)!
BTW what is your opinion of all those OT prophecies about "the Assyrian"? Sorry, Bible Prophecy is a huge interest for me.
