That is the reason why Islam dominates Christianity in the south-east of Europe.
This brief explanation will show what are the evils that affect Turkey as a whole and her Christian subjects in particular.

They are due to the collision of two irreconcilable creeds and civilisations, the Christian and the Mohammedan.

Both of them are gifted with vitality and propagandist power (witness the spread of the latter in Africa and Central Asia in our own day); and, while no comparison can be made between them on ideal grounds and in their ethical and civic results, it still remains true that Islam inspires its votaries with fanatical bravery in war.

There is the weakness of the Christians of south-eastern Europe.

Superior in all that makes for home life, civilisation, and civic excellence, they have in time past generally failed as soldiers when pitted against an equal number of Moslems.
