Thank you for posting this article on former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's adoption of the ancient Ottoman Empire custom of making European Christian boys - stolen in war and castrated - into mercenaries whose only loyalty was to each other and the Sultan, making them less fearful of death and more feared by adversaries. Many of Gaddafi's mercenaries were orphans who fought to the death because Gaddafi was a father figure.

Hello Jim!
I absolutely agreed with your article. And it is high time that people involved in religious matter see it for what it is: a source of guidance and support, not the only way to think, to live and interact with the world and its inhabitants.
