	The Finns as fascists in disguise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Due to many reasons, Finland's association with Nazi Germany during the Continuation War attracts more attention than her successful keeping of distance to Nazism and the Nazis, her separate and clearly stated goals for the war (the Sword Scabbard Declaration), and the other two wars when Finland and the Third Reich were adversaries.

		The Yatağan, a type of Turkish sword (which indeed became known in other countries as the 'Turkish sword') used from the mid-16th to late 19th centuries, was decorated with the same degree of craftsmanship as used to ensure the strength and sharpness of its blade.
		Scabbard tips were reinforced to prevent the sword piercing the sheath, and decorated in the form of dragon, eagle or serpent heads.

		Therefore, a lifestyle of the sword was never part of the disciples' new walk with the resurrected Christ, as they preached his message of hope.
		Though neither Peter nor Paul endorse the sword for the Church as a policy after Pentecost (and Paul openly disconfirms its use), they teach that God endorses agents of the State, who carry the sword and who bring peace and justice to the world.
