Irked Turks warn Germany over Armenian Genocide vote
Islamic supremacists never, ever acknowledge evil done in the name of Islam and in accord with its teaching. As far as they’re concerned, nothing that reflects poorly on Islam ever actually happened, or if it did, it wasn’t perpetrated by Muslims.

Syria: Islamic jihadists blow up church dedicated to victims of Armenian Genocide
Meanwhile, Christian leaders in the West pursue “dialogue” with Muslim leaders, who smilingly tell them that they condemn the Muslim persecution of Christians, and that is that.
