well turkey's got a bit of a past with pope-hatred, sadly.
this isn't so much a muslim thing i suspect as the usual greece-turkey sideshow.
interesting to note that greece, syria, and iran signed a co-defense pact in 1996 to counteract israel and turkey warming up to each other, though as far as i'm concerned the crescendo of that saber-rattling was in 1999 when greek and turkish fighter planes were trading shots and turkey had that madman ecivit as p.m.
