Articles of the High Summit in Izmir, 1004AH
1)The Ottoman Empire and the Sultanate of Oman pledge eternal allegiance and solidarity. An aggressor to one nation, is considered an act of aggression on the other.
2)The Ottoman Empire and the Sultanate of Oman both will recall ambassadors and close diplomatic channels with whom either nation views as hostile, until whenever both nations agree otherwise.
3)The Alliance is based on Trust, Honour and Equality, and for that reason will last the test of time.
Signed
Sultan Mehmed III of the Ottoman Empire.

How nice to see a papist follower call for a fight against the devilspawned follower of Luther and Calvin.
How nice to see the leader of the largest and strongest alliance in the World call for a crusade to increase even more his power.
And even nicer to ear this form someone that has yet to cleanse his own land from the moslems.
To hear this from the descedant of someone that had the chance of expelling the moores but decided to keep the for economic reasons.
To be followed mere days later by...The Sovereign of Spain Felipe III is most joyfull that the vision of creating a Catholic League finally came to fruitation during the latest decade. However, now is not the time to rest on our laurels now is the time to let action replace mere words....and so acting within his capacity as emperor of the HRE he call upon his catholic brother monarchs to honour the spirit of the Catholic League and stand together to cleanse the lands besoiled by the teachings of Luther and Calvin so as to not have any more virgin catholic provinces perveted by their false preachings. God teach us to forgive the wayward and help them back onto the rightous path, well I say that Luther and Calvin are not wayward NAY they are the devilspawn incarnate and as such we can only redem their fallen desciples and cleanse the infested land by use of the FIRE! - Brother catholics, this truly is a perilious time and we are lucky and should consider ourselves blessed to live in such times that our faith and resolve may be tested by going up against evil itself....Also while speaking of our infested brothers, turned traitors against all that is good, we must not forget the spread of the hell-spawn-on-earth itself....the Ottomans, the defilers of the patriacate of Byzantium and destroyers of the civilization of Rome...while we rest on our laurels and count our own blessings they consolidate their strength by uniting all the hellish lands of the saracens and soon their hellspawned hordes will fall upon the lands of Christ....Brothers we MUST unite in this common test to prevail against this final test of our serenity and devotion............
The section I got most confused by, was how England could be "Jewish" and yet inspired by the teachings of "Devilspawn incarnate."Originally posted by boehm
The Crown of Spain wish to point out that there might have been a small misunderstanding here in that while it is true that we have issued a call to unite against the unholy saracens and to show our wayward brothers the lutherans & calvinists the way back to the rightous path. And yes we the king of Spain did have opportunity to expel the Moors from our nation, but why should we? They are Moors not unholy saracens seeking to defile all that is holy! No, the Moors are a honorable and hardworking people whom we treasure as part of our glorious kingdom as while they might go about their worship of the true faith in a slightly different manner they are still a people of the true god.
The Crown of Spain is not narrowminded and we do not persecute people merely for being different therefor we see no reason to persecute or expell the Moors no more than we see to expel the jews from the provinces under our protection. Likewise we also see no reason to harbour hostile intentions towards the "jewish" nation of England or the "Moorish" nations of Persia & Oman and we hope said nations recognize that their people have no reason to fear the burning sword of catholic rightousness.
Felipe III
Monarch of Spain & Emperor of the HRE
ps: Should any nation believe that its mainly "moorish" or "jewish" religious belief have been overlooked they should feel free to request a visit from the spanish inquisition to establish the truth of the matter.
