Turks as a rule are short due to trauma of being secular Muslim.
Allah curses the apostates of Islam by making them midgets only in stature.

Where are these "secular Muslims" to whom you refer?
Also, the world's tallest living athlete is a Turk. He's almost 8'1" tall.
I am 1.82 cm. With a relatively large pork sword of 15-16 cm.
D'oh! I SAID PORK!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHA!
@Vampire humming bird : Kudos!
And that means that Dutch, the tallest people in the world, are religious?. Don't make me laugh, please.
What the hell is that supposed to mean? That only the most pious of Christians are more than 6 feet tall?
That only makes it easier for all those midget Muslims to stab you tall Christians in the shin.
I am short, thanks to my Mom's family, where I seem to inherit this trait from. Being French-Canadian, they were hardly apostates of Islam. My grandmother was a very religious Catholic all her life. You fail genetics.
Fail. I am short because my mother is short, and so was her mother, and her mother, too. It's genetics. My great-grandmother and grandmother were French-Canadian Catholics.
Ramen to all that about midgets being blessed.
Seriously though, Islam was way cool in the middle ages. What happened to you guys? Now you're all regular.
Scandianavian counties, where religion is largely ignored, tend to have the tallest inhabitants. So your graph, in spite of only having two points, shows us that the more religious they are, the more it saps their height.
As of nary 24 hours ago, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Your 'Allah' is but a microbe to him: as is the protector of his precious Mecca right now.
And have you seen "Combat Dealers" on 'Quest' channel? Bruce Crompton* is dwarfed by his 'right hand man' Hus, a.k.a. 'The Mad Turk'.
No wonder he gets to do the real damage-making stuff via rifle grenades, a flamethrower, a PIAT etc, and in this new series a .50 cal. bolt-action Barrett & an RPG. In last week's episode, he was freaked out by a warhead from a Polaris missile: and you know what that means.
Because another Turk has just dropped the mother of all MIRVs on not just Saudi Arabia.
*- The man who owns one of only two completely original Hetzers: and he sold the other to a museum in Australia. Also a Panther tank (among a huge collection of various WWII & later military vehicles: including a Schwimmwagen) Has one of Churchill's bathtubs. And Hitler's karzi.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
