1 Personally, I find the notion of European technologists working for Muslim masters worrisome.
Well, maybe the Europeans will get lucky, and be conquered by the reborn Russian empire.

2 The Churchillian view, now apparently forgotten:

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property—either as a child, a wife, or a concubine—must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. (The River War I: 248-49)

3 #2 Forgotten perhaps, but still available to be relearned.

As far as Lefty tripe goes, I would opine that no conquest is necessarily permanent, ask Boabdil. That took 700 years.

Mass will yet be held in the Hagia Sophia, small matter if I live to see it or not.
