In the prologue of the eleborate history which he wrote at the command Bayezid II, Kemal Pashazade compares the Ottoman history with earlier Muslim dynasties and sums under three heads, vücûh-i rüchân, 'the reason of their superiority'. First, he says, the Ottomans unlike other Muslim dynasties, came the power not through the violent overthrow of older Muslim states within the Islamic community, but through the conquest of territories pertaining to the infidel world, the Dâr ul-Harb.

Of Isengard
A strong place and wonderful was Isengard, and long it had been beautiful; and there great lords had dwelt, the wardens of Gondor upon the West, and wise men that watched the stars. But Saruman had slowly shaped it to his shifting purposes, and made it better, as he thought, being deceived – for all those arts and subtle devices, for which he forsook his former wisdom, and which fondly he imagined were his own, came but from Mordor; so that what he made was naught, only a little copy, a child’s model or a slave’s flattery, of that vast fortress, armoury, prison, furnace of great power, Barad-dûr, the Dark Tower, which suffered no rival, and laughed at flattery, biding its time, secure in its pride and its immeasurable strength.
