CALVIN TOO! "Martin Luther warned about appeasing Islam 500 years ago"

"...Martin Luther wrote: "The Turk is the rod of the wrath of
the Lord our God. … If the Turk's god, the devil, is not
beaten first, there is reason to fear that the Turk will not
be so easy to beat. … Christian weapons and power must
do it…".."

BTW,DAVE SMILDE (calvin alumnus) KNOWS A LOT re VENEZUELA:"Venezuela is running out of cash and selling its gold "- Oct. 29, 2015

BTW,CALVIN ALUMNUS DAVE SMILDE KNOWS A LOT ABOUT VENEZUELA. I was listening to NPR one day and they did a piece on Venezuela & suddenly they mentioned "Dave Smilde" & I perked up,wondering if it was the Dave Smilde I knew from Grand Rapids. And it turns out it was/is ...he's a year older than me,and he's a professor in Georgia who specializes in Venezuela issues. We attended the same high school & college,& semester-in-Spain. He's a great guy,but a bit too liberal for me. Nonetheless, I have a great amount of respect for him & hope he has some respect for the Christian faith, & hasn't become 100% secularized.

Smilde blogs a lot at

Fwd: Chk,TOUGH TIMES 4 ART HISTORY & THEATRE @ CALVIN: "Calvin professor says program cuts, layoffs feel like 'betrayal'" | MLive.com

Art history! I remember being persuaded by the art history professor at Calvin College to take his class when I was a freshman...my first semester...(back when registration was done in the gym by walking from table to table with professors sitting there representing their classes and talking to us as we wondered about what classes to take)  .  I had NO IDEA it was considered one of the most difficult classes at the college, and even many of the art majors themselves have a difficult time with the class. Why this professor played such a trick on my I do not know. He knew I wasn't interested in art as a major, so why would he try to trick me into thinking I should take it as a simple way to get one of my core classes completed ? I still don't know. I managed to pass with a C. That was my first semester at college. Not the way you want to begin your college career. I went on to make academic honors no thanks to this C in art history, a class I didn't need. And yet this many years later I value that class and even have an art blog that I maintain, and draw on a few memories from that class when I go to art museums. Nonetheless, I still wonder why the professor played this dirty trick on me.  Maybe he's getting laid off now too. But then i think he retired many years ago.
