CONSTANTINOPLE MUSLIM CONQUEST CONTINUES: GOALS UNCHANGED; THE OTTOMANS WERE THE LAST CALIPHATE IN THE MUSLIM WORLD. THESE LAST 103 YEARS ARE THE FIRST TIME THEY'VE NOT HAD ONE SINCE MUHAMMAD BEGAN PROSELYTIZING IN THE 7TH CENTURY. MUST BE JARRING. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ONE RISES AGAIN, AND IT WILL BE A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN IN THE 7TH CENTURY BCUZ AT LEAST BACK THEN WE HAD THE WILL AND SUPPORT TO COMBAT ISLAM FROM KINGS AND LEADERS IN SOCIETY, TODAY, THAT IS ABSENT.
