Hm, this article points in reaction to Europe pointing at certain intollerance in Turkey to the intollerance of Europe of 400 years ago. Thats a bit odd.

I mean considering that with a little search it might have found European intollerance of today I wonder why they had to dig out the 30 years war. The war that was for centuries considered the worst that could come upon humanity. Until the world wars...
