In spite of his faults and perversity, Vlad Tepes knew how to handle the Muslims. I would not have wanted to have been one of his subjects; I feat that I would have eventually irritated him and paid a heavy price! Still, I can still admire Vlad.
A recent article at World Net Daily featured the comments of a Turkish lady who was exasperated with the enemies of Islam. She yearned that the old Ottoman method of impalement, which she'd learned about in school, be restored, in order that is might be used against Islam's enemies of today.
Although I once read that impalement dates back to the Assyrians (even older?), I couldn't help but be amazed that the Ottomans used impalement; I had never know that. So, what if Vlad Tepes, the Impaler, did nothing more than give the Muslims a taste of their own medicine? (Admittedly, he also used impalement against his own people and other foreigners.)
Pardon me for not knowing the exact details of what I'm about to write. But Vlad is famous for once impaling a "forest" of Ottoman Turkish prisoners. The impaled bodies were left where they were. So when another invading Turkish army invaded Transylvania, its commander is said to have wept at the sight of the bodies of his decayed, impaled countrymen.
Is it possible that the Ottoman commander wept because he knew how cruel and wicked his own people were, and that justice had finally been served against them? Perhaps we'll never know. It's interesting that many Muslims apparently hate the memory of Vlad Tepes, but still yearn to practice tortuous murder on others today.
Another friend of mine who knew something about Vlad Tepes once mentioned that at one point in his youth, Vlad and his brother had been hostages of the Ottomans. My friend mentioned that it was very likely that they had been the victims of homosexual abuse (as has at least one author supposed) and that they were both warped because of this experience. Vlad's brother eventually became a Muslim (he might also have become a homosexual, but I am not certain of that.) Vlad, on the other hand, rejected Islam and fought it.
