This may or may not be justified. I personally am not a religious person at all. I am sorry to say that I am 68 years old and still don\u2019t know namaz and most of the prayers. However, being an astute student of Ottoman History, I know that The Ottoman Empire was dismembered somewhat by acts and lies of Christian Missionaries, whose schools I had attended later on.  Shouldn\u2019t there be a Moslem Missionary or two also? Maybe if powerful enough, they can help Turkey and other Moslem nations.<\/p>\n<p>I am a graduate of Talas American School, Tarsus American College, and Robert College School of Engineering.  There was no Christian propaganda by the missionaries, when I went to school at these institutions. However, their predecessors were instrumental in dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire and\/or invented as well as flamed and armed, and financed armenian and greek rebellions.<\/p>\n<p>Bulgaria was lost mainly due to the efforts of Robert College missionaries. Missionaries at Anatolia College started the Pontus Empire lie. They were instrumental in death of many innocent Moslems.  Missionaries at the schools in Talas, Tarsus, Central Anatolia College, Euphrates College, and American Missions at Trebizonde(Trabzon), Harpout (Harput), Mouche (Mus), and Van encouraged armenians to rebel. Their lies attracted donations from USA, where the word Turk, became synonymous with a dirty monster. You know the rest of the story.<br \/>\nLadies and gentlemen, please think about what I just said. Maybe you can look at Fettullah Hoca from a different point of view from now on.<\/p>\n<p>ERKAN ESMER<br \/>\nErkan Esmer [e_esmer@esmerassociates.com]<\/p>\n<div id=\"hd\">\n<div id=\"hContent\">\n<div id=\"headerContent\" class=\"editorWrap\">\n<div id=\"headerZoneElement\" class=\"editable rte flexContent\">\n<h1 style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"hMisc\">\n<div class=\"contactInfoContainer\" style=\"width: auto; height: auto;\">\n<p class=\"vcard\">\n<p class=\"vcard\"><span class=\"adr\"><span class=\"street-address\">1000 Church Street<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"extended-address\">Route 60 East, Box 426<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"locality\">Boomer<\/span><span class=\"separator\">, <\/span><span class=\"region\">WV<\/span> <span class=\"postal-code\">25031<\/span><\/span><span class=\"phoneNumbers\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"tel\"><span class=\"type\">ph: <\/span>304.779.2131<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"tel\"><span class=\"type\">fax: <\/span>304.779.2859<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"tel\"><span class=\"type\">alt: <\/span>1.800.353.1688<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"vcard\">Since 1970, <strong>Esmer &amp; Associates, Inc.<\/strong> has served as  engineering consultants for institutions, industry, engineers,  contractors, and governmental entities.
