Today there are 90 mosques there and Christians are only 16% of the population.
In 1683, the Turkish Moslems were defeated in the battle of Vienna by the Catholic imperial army and the Polish king, John Sobieski, who led it. The Christians had 60,000 soldiers facing 300,000 Moslems. God is indeed greater.
