You’re both right. The site is my go to - most secular authors/academia also refer to it though they don’t deign to admit it. Wiki does on occasion. :)

Tolerance is defined as an acceptable amount of error.

"The Muslims never forgot their defeat in Malta, and it is possible that this was for this reason as to why September 11th was the day they chose to execute the attack on America. "

Thnx. Was searching for 9/11 historical actions.

"Diversity Lovers" can't stand diversity that is unexpected.

You don't always get to embrace and celebrate the diversity you want, Sometimes you have to embrace and celebrate the diversity that you need.

Kool.

"The engagement was a significant defeat for the Ottomans, who had not lost a major naval battle since the fifteenth century. The defeat was mourned by them as an act of Divine Will, contemporary chronicles recording that "the Imperial Fleet encountered the fleet of the wretched infidels and the will of God turned another way.""

May Allah continue to dissappoint.

Actually, about one fourth of the Christian fleet, including two heavy-gun gal leases, did not even engage. The undermanned and outnumbered Christian fleet won with 3/4 of its force.

THE SEIGE OF MALTA - History’s bloodiest siege
Daily Mail U.K. ^ | July 7, 2007 | JAMES JACKSON

History’s bloodiest siege used human heads as cannonballs By JAMES JACKSON 07 July 2007

A hot and fetid June night on the small Mediterranean island of Malta, and a Christian sentry patrolling at the foot of a fort on the Grand Harbour had spotted something drifting in the water.

The alarm was raised. More of these strange objects drifted into view, and men waded into the shallows to drag them to the shore. What they found horrified even these battle-weary veterans: wooden crosses pushed out by the enemy to float in the harbour, and crucified on each was the headless body of a Christian knight.

This was psychological warfare at its most brutal, a message sent by the Turkish Muslim commander whose invading army had just vanquished the small outpost of Fort St Elmo - a thousand yards distant across the water.

Now the target was the one remaining fort on the harbour front where the beleaguered, outnumbered and overwhelmed Christians were still holding out: the Fort St Angelo. The Turkish commander wished its defenders to know that they would be next, that a horrible death was the only outcome of continued resistance.

But the commander had not counted on the mettle of his enemy - the Knights of St John. Nor on the determination of their leader Grand Master Jean Parisot de la Valette, who vowed that the fort would not be taken while one last Christian lived in Malta.

The rest of the history
