Europeans defeated the Muslim Ottoman Turks at the Siege of Vienna in 1529? Then Europeans also prevailed against Muslim forces at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571.

On September 11, 1683, Muslims made another major attempt to conquer Europe, as a massive Islamic army arrived at the Gates of Vienna. An alliance of Christian armies, led by the Polish King Jan III Sobieski, defeated the Muslim force.<ref>http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2006/09/other-september-11th.html</ref> Some have observed that the "9/11" massacre in New York City was on the anniversary of this day.
