text: n 1453, a mere 39 years before Columbus sailed west,  the Islamic Ottoman Turks seized  and conquered the great city of Constantinople.  Constantinople  was founded by Emperor Constantine in 325 as the  new capital of the Christian Roman empire.  The Muslim armies drove out the Christians and massacred them in wholesale bloodbath.  Canada did nothing of the sort to natives what Islam's invasion  armies did to Christian Europe. If Kahn is prepared to cede Constantinople, Turkey  and the Bosporus back to European  Christendom ,we can then discuss her support of  native land claims. 
  
  The one good thing to come from that tragic event was the refugees from Constantinople  fled west to Rome and Florence,  sparked the Renaissance.  We are still living with the benefits of it today, even though it's  lost on her.
