WorldNetDaily: The real secret to defeating radical Islam by David Kupelian:
"For instance, I personally lost dozens of family members � perhaps over 100 � in the genocide of the Christian Armenians by the Muslim Turks. I'll mention just one of those family members � my great grandfather, Steelianos Leondiades. A Protestant minister, in 1908 he was attending a conference of Armenian and Greek ministers in the major Turkish city of Adana. Here's how his daughter, my maternal grandmother Anna Paulson, recalled the terrible events that unfolded: 'Some of the Turkish officers came to the conference room and told all these ministers � there were 70 of them, ministers and laymen and a few wives: 'If you embrace the Islamic religion you will all be saved. If you don't, you will all be killed.''
Steelianos, my great grandfather, acting as a spokesman for the ministers group asked the Turks for 15 minutes so they could make their decision. During that time the ministers and their companions talked, read the Bible to each other and prayed. In the end, none of them would renounce their Christian faith and convert to Islam.
'And then,' Anna recalled, 'they were all killed.
'They were not even buried. They were all thrown down the ravine.' "
