The Battle of Rodos

On a serious note, I don't know where that inferiority complex comes from. The "West", if there is still something like that,  ignoring stuff is just in your head. I personally think that the Islamic world in the past with its tolerant interpretation of their religion were pretty awesome, before it went back to hurr durr mode. I also think Turkey overcoming the hurr as the only Islamic country with creating a secularistic state at the beginning of the last century was rather awesome too.

This board is meant for HISTORICAL discussions, right?

Sharky, I agree there are a lot of ignorant people, however it is my duty as a Muslim to teach people about the truth (Haqq).  Here is a really good resource to see how much Islamic Civilization has contributed to the "Rise of the West": www.muslimheritage.com

In the Khoran it says that to teach the way of Allah, a true muslim lives by example and allows that alone to teach others, to make example of youself is forbidden. But anyway thats a sidenote.

Turks: Kicked ass for a long time, culturally a centre of the "known world" for most of recorded history, spawned amazing developments in art, science, society, warfare, etc. No one with an IQ in double figures doubts that.

Historically tho....Templars kicked their share off asses too...

And artistically, the video.........fucking rofl, UNIFORMS? Little square shields? Volleyfire in superneat outfits? GTFO of here! AHAHAHAHHA!
Thats what I see when I imagine if Bollywood remade Kingdom of Heaven.......


EDIT: And dont come on too heavy with the religious side of the Ottomans, the fine arts of SLAVERY and religious purging were practised by BOTH sides of the centuries long struggle between the two, Christianity and Islam, two sides of the same coin really....such a waste of time...

Just for info, this is not a documentary.

The scene is from a Turkish TV series, and is comparable to "The Tudors". In technical terms, I cant criticize it that hard. A episode have to be completed in a week. For this reason, I would not compare it with cinema productions.

The first episode is on youtube with English Subtitles.
(For people who are interested.)

Due to hilarious advertising on TV series in Turkey,an episode lasts for 1h and 40 mins (With ads it is 2-2and a half hours.). So it is hard to shoot a 100 mins episode per week .
